Talk:Incorporating Ipad's into ELA Classrooms

Instructor comments on your unit -- Jz833665 (talk) 10:26, 10 December 2013 (EST)

Your mini-course, as the end product, needs to have a clean front/home page to guide the learner, which will be different from your portfolio page that describes the design processes that can be messy and iterative.

I've set up this front page for you and copied some of the text from your portfolio page to here. Please update/refine it as you'd like.

Classmate - Eric LaPorta - comments on your unit

I like your project and the idea of using iPads in the classroom. I wonder if you could put more activities for the user to use in your unit. I understand you have to set up an account and everything to use the iPad in school, but your 2nd unit should just be setting up an account. That type of information should already be known, or at least be alluded to. Your 2nd unit is nothing but setting up an account and the user isn't getting anything out of this. The same goes for unit 3, what activities can we as teachers use the ipad for. Rather than just talking about ways we could use it, give the user an activity to test it out.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am behind on this project and didn't add some of the activities I planned on adding. I added a couple since you viewed the course but will be adding a few more. Did you mean I shouldn't have the set up process included in the unit? I incorporated it because some teachers (especially the more experienced ones) aren't very technologically inclined, so I figured I would include that process. For unit 3 I added a simple activity for the teachers to try, do you think it should be more elabarate or keep it simple? I appreciate the help.
