iCan with the iPad

Look at my fellow teachers working hard!!

A few weeks ago I participated in an amazing week of content building with fellow tech savvy teachers. It's amazing what you can do when you have the time to be creative and work with others (which is what we need to be allowing for our students to do too)!

Well, one of the teachers,jessica cox (hope you don't mind me posting about how fabulous you are!), thought we should do some sort of iPad management piece to our iTunes University course on creativity. I latched onto this and together we came up these iCan with the iPad licenses! (She thought she remembered seeing something similar on Pinterest, but we just couldn't find them!)

The idea is that you have students show you how to properly use the iPad in the beginning of the year (or whenever you first get them) so that there is no doubt in the student's mind that you are aware they know the proper procedure when using the iPad. They each get "certified" to use the iPad. There is a handy little check off list that you can use, or edit if need be!

Next, if you see them doing something they shouldn't with the iPad, you can give them an iPad Violation. The slip explains what they NEED to be doing instead of reminding them of what they've already done. This way, we felt it kept the note positive. Too many violations and they will have to be "re-certified"!

You can download these over on my TeachersPayTeachers page FOR FREE!! That's right: FREE!
