We are learning a lot about the deployment of iOS devices in the district right now. We are learning that it is not a simple process yet. We are using the Apple Configurator tool to set up iPod and iPad labs in many schools. Our experience has not been consistent from school to school and that has added to our learning curve and frustration, but we are still learning. When everything does come together and work, we get to see scenes like these in our buildings.
Look at both of these images and look for any off-task behavior. None. The students were working math problems on the devices and totally engrossed in it. Everyone of them worked through at least 20 problems in 25 minutes. They were set at a pretty easy level, so they all did pretty well, but even the ones who were struggling with the math were engrossed in the process on the iPads.
The hardest part was have to have them put them back in the cart so they could be used by other classes. Both classes I worked with today groaned and I took that as a very good sign.
What I wouldn't give to be able to put one of these devices in every student's hands everyday!
