<br />
Earphones were a must when watching You Tube videos. <br />
<br />
The AV cable only works for certain apps...it is not just plug and go to the projector. We use a document camera to project the iPad and teach the class.<br />

We planned a virtual field trip where they traveled on Google Earth to St. Francisville. They were so enthralled with the You Tube video on the history behind the house. <br />

<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Doodle Buddy</li>
<li>Story Buddy</li>
</ul>

The first lesson we choose was about history. We wanted to get the students involved with the iPad and show them the many educational things that could be done with it. They had played many games on it, but had never used it for school work. <br />
<br />
As one of the requirements for the club, the students had to purchase a $20 iTunes card. They were to download their apps before the day of the class. <br />
<br />
These were the apps they had to download for the first class:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>This Day in History (free)</li>
<li>Sound Note (4.99)</li>
<li>Google Earth (free)</li>
<li>Story Kit (free)</li>

Our school has a club day once a month where our students can choose from over 40 clubs to join. I advertised the club and the students would have to bring their own iPad to school to participate in the club.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I was so lucky that Eva Smill, a technology trainer for EBRPSS agreed to teach the class with me. She was excited as I was about implementing the iPads.</div><br />
<br />
Would we be successful with an iPad club where students had to bring their own iPad? How many students would actually bring one to school? We were so lucky that 5 students joined our club. <br />
<br />
Once the students joined, I sent home this permission slip before the first club meeting.<br />

Ipads had only been out for a few weeks and I got to see first hand what they could do. Many attendees had them, and the educators seemed really excited about them. I was so excited about the prospect of using these at Sherwood Middle.<br />
<br />
There were many hurdles to cross before I could accomplish this. My principal, Phyllis Crawford, was in full support of the implementation of iPads at our school. As a 2009 US Department of Education Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, our school is proud that technology integration is one of the keys to our success.<br />
<br />
Our school bought an iPad with school funds to use at ISTE, where I attended the iPad class and got many great ideas about implementation and APPS.<br />
<br />
Our district is a PC district. Would they support our school implementing iPads? Yes, they did. <br />
<br />
