A Report Based Pedagogical Practice At University Primary School

iPads and tablets have become a popular choice of teachers in many classrooms worldwide due to the positive impact it has on the students. Tablets offer a wide variety of educational applications that have the ability to be downloaded onto the tablet for the students to use. The use of tablets in the classroom, “offer a unique home-school connection by providing students with a classroom experience that relates to the technology-saturated real world” (Blackwell, 2013, pg. 233) The use of iPads and tablets in the classroom provides students with a hands on learning approach to any

Surely children today need a relationship with technology in order to thrive. The way that we can foster these bonds is by introducing technology to students in a classroom at a young age. If students are taught to respect technology and use it properly from the beginning of their relationship with it, these habits will continue into their teenage years and beyond into their adult lives. One-to-one computing from kindergarten on will allow students access to technology on demand, in the classroom and at home. By doing this, we allow students access to their learner profiles 24/7, giving them the option to learn anytime they please. Teachers can also tailor

Personal electronics are the best path to providing each child in the classroom a device. When parents send their children to be educated they expect “best practices” to be common habit. Therefore, teachers should use laptops, tablets, computers, and even smartphones in their lessons. The purpose of school is to

Because online education is based on information technology, students, teachers, and colleges are requested to have personal computers, or other electronic devices. First of all, students will end up bearing the losses once these devices malfunction such as the computer crash. According to Healy, Block, and Judge (2014), there were many students who had trouble with technical issues in online education, and these technical issues severely impact their learning. Online education over dependent on electronic devices, but it is impossible to guarantee that every student can have an appropriate device and there will be no fault with it. Kingsley-Hughes (2014) reports that the cash rate of IOS was about 3.56 percent. Moreover, the Microsoft windows 7 cashed 7.1 times monthly on average (TWCN, 2012). These data show that the breakdown is not rare in most electronic devices required by online education, so technology issues were identified as a disadvantage to online education by a few of the participants . Moreover, the requirement online education might discriminate against the students in poverty (Afsari-Mamagani, 2014). Online education may require devices such as personal computer and smart phone, which can be hardly afforded by some poor students. For example, Healy,

Hernando County has a technology initiative; however, within the each classroom it can be hard to obtain, due to lack of technology. Within Challenger K8 most classrooms have about 2 working computers in the elementary grade levels. In middle school there are classrooms with no computers. We have 5 computer labs that can be scheduled for daily use and then scheduled for testing. Through our community partners the school has received 4 smart boards, and an iMac Lab. Our media person just received a grant for a class set of ipads. Some teacher have bought there own for students to utilize within the class. Hernando County also provided a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policy for schools to use at their discretion. The middle school uses BYOD on a daily bases for informal formative assessments, games, and engagement. Teachers also conduct surveys at the beginning of the year to understand what technology is at the student finger tips at home. O’Neal suggests, “it is critical that we look at the use

Statistics also indicate that our school is located in one of the most deprived areas of income deprivation affecting children thus many of our students do not have access to technology at home. This means we have a responsibility to provide such access in a controlled school environment.

As this school is continuously searching for innovative practices to embed enriched learning experiences with the use of technology, this report is intended to examine the policy, ‘Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)’ and make a decision in regards to implementing this policy within this schools learning environment.

In the paper “Mobile Devices in the Classroom: The Argument for BYOD Implementation” the author, Blaine Vess, builds a very strong argument about phones in school and the work place. He uses a few different techniques to create a strong point. In this essay I will break down how Vess created such a persuasive paper. The first way Vess creates a strong argument is he uses facts. There are about two strong facts that are given in this paper.

As explained in the overview BYOD (Bring your own devices) and BYOB (Bring your own Browser) are brand new information systems for sharing information within JPII. It introduces more electronic learning/teaching methods and the possibility for more digital based assessments. What we need to think about is how this will be managed and how it will fit in with our system now – mostly based around the school network and physical written documents.

Technology has rapidly changed the way teachers deliver content, the way they engage with the students and on how they manage the classroom. The introduction of new technology such as the iPad has greater implications in educational sector because makes education more accessible, mobile and portable. The functional features in iPad such as the accessibility features, processor speed, and other available application make a good framework for school curriculum. Despite the fact that other schools try to fight the use of electronic devices in the classroom, some are embracing the current advancement in technology and accept the incorporation of the devices to

Within the report, beginning on page 34, is a section entitled Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) - Time-to-Adoption Horizon: One Year or Less. It explained the concept, BYOD, is not only limited to schools, but also, extensively to work environments. Relevant to teaching, it discussed BYOD’s relevance for teaching, learning and creative inquiry. The vocabulary used, such as;

The reason for the observation and interest in this action research project are to help the young children in my families and other children. They are not staying focus and listening with old school learning but they do focus and think with new age through technology. Technologies make all children feel equally and have the same opportunity in learning. I have observation that children have technologies to learn and teach them at home so we need to make technologies available at school to collaboration together on same materials. Technologies can cover a list of products and applications for cellphone to ipad, face to face to face time and media, book to internet, portifolio to storage data, or board project to

Today’s generations rely strongly on media and technology more so than past generations. Technology including: computers, tablets, and smart boards provide access to the internet and can connect people counties away. These forms of technology are now being incorporated into the learning experience at schools. The internet accessed through these

As can be expected the project team met to determine strategies to be used to implement the project. Strategies include the assessment of participating schools to determine technological needs. It also involves strategies to procure the required technology to be given to the school. The choice of additional technologies to complement the tablet use as well as the strategies to deal with internet issues. Also the training required which will allow teachers to properly utilise the equipment to improve the teaching learning process. These strategies are deemed to be deliberate to some extent, however some strategies are as result of experiences garnered from the implementation of other similar projects. As well as the learnt experiences of other establishments.

It would be advantageous if a school helps to foster effective use of tablets in education so that all teachers and students have the tools they need to succeed. It is also essential to set up the learning management system for learning with tablets, including tablet devices and network systems. More importantly, the school should provide adequate training to use technology resources, especially tablet-based technology.
