Teaching with Tablets

 

Things to consider when implementing tablet technology:

1.        How compatible are tablets with the content of my course?

2.       How compatible are tablets with my teaching approach?

3.       In what ways might tablets disrupt my teaching approach?

 

To answer these questions, outline the standards and topics of the course and then consider what functions to utilize in your classroom such as:

·         Searching for information

·         Listening for and viewing information

·         Storing information

·         Communicating information

·         Collaborating with peers

·         Producing information

·         Presenting information

·         Sharing information

·         Networking with other learners beyond the classroom
