iPads in the Capital City Upper School

We now have 2 iPads for teachers to reserve on a weekly basis in the Upper School!

These iPads were purchased so that teachers could experiment with ways that iPads could be successfully brought into the classroom, focusing on specific apps and lesson plans.

iPads will be reserved on a weekly basis through Mr. Chase. Teachers will be able to download free apps, but if you want to purchase an app you will have to put in a purchase request and receive approval before downloading it.

How might you use 2 iPads in your classroom?

Do you like the idea of having access to iPads, but don't have an idea of how you might use them? Feel free to schedule a time to work with Mr. Chase, or just check out an iPad to play around with on your own.
