iPad BootCamp

    Tuesday after school the Kilby faculty took part in iPad BOOTCAMP! In trying to integrate new technology in our school, our teachers received new iPads. Some of our teachers were already familiar with iPads and iPhones but we had several teachers who were completely new to this type of technology. Mrs. Frederick, our kindergarten teacher, served as my co-presenter in this presentation. While I presented the information, she went from teacher to teacher, helping them get used to their iPad. In this post I am going to show you the slides I used in the PowerPoint. We got through the first 1/2 of the presentation and will be finishing up in another session. Our teachers are very excited, as they should be. They were charged with practicing with their iPad and trying out new apps to be incorporated in their classrooms.Hopefully, by the end of this year, Kilby will house a new class set of iPads for student use. This should be a smooth transition for our students because our Kindergarten and 1st Grade classes already have student iPads. Check out the slides to see what our teachers learned in BOOTCAMP!
