Welcome to Connected English! In a few days my students will have iPads in their hands, and we'll be off and running. I'm coming from a BYOD background (which basically meant MacBooks), so having a cart of iPads in the classroom will be a new experience. I've already been experimenting with some apps and getting our Moodle courses up and running with discussions and backchannel activities. I'm also thinking about how we can move to digital portfolios this year.
I'll be chronicling this iPad pilot program for the 2013-2014 school by keeping track of everything we try. My goals are to assist the other teachers on my campus as they start to more fully integrate technology and to inspire other English teachers with Common Core-aligned iPad learning experiences. Remember, it's not about the tool--it's about the learning that wouldn't have been able to happen without technology as the vehicle.
