How are you using the iPad in your classroom? Please post your examples, likes and dislikes here:

I currently have my students use their iPads to take daily quizzes via the website thatquiz.org. I find that it provides me with immediate feedback as to how they are doing with our current topics in Algebra 1 and Algebra 1H. This allows me to then alter my teaching for that day or next day based on their performance.

I currently use my iPads for project based learning projects and presentations done while both in and out of class. This allows my students to do research and present their projects. The students use keynote and prezi for their presentations.

I am using the iPad and iBooks to deliver class content to students. Students can view video lectures, interact with images and widgets, and link to their online quizzes all from within their digital textbook that we create and access through iBooks. This makes learning possible 24/7 with or without internet connection.

Marilee Wyckoff Zeeland East High School

I currently use my iPads for daily quizzes (thatquiz.org) and extra practice on basic facts (xtramath.org). Students also get the class lectures via video. The notes and handouts are all electronic (I also have them available hardcopy) so students can use the app pdfnotes to take notes. Students can send me their assignments electronically.

I currently have the ability to check out a cart of ipads for my 8th grade math classes. I have used them for formative assessments via thatquiz.org and socrative.com. I have also used them to gather data on our Delta math screeners. These are screeners that we give three times a year to see where the gaps are from the previous year and how well we are doing at filling them. The ipads have also come in handy for an exploratory class I teach, Choices, for researching content on various teen topics.

I use ipads to deliver instruction through a flipped classroom. Students watch lectures at home via dropbox and work on problem sets and activities during class time. One great advantage has been for absent students. It is much easier for students to catch up under this system. I have also found I am able to provide a lot more 1-1 instruction during class and troubleshoot my students weaker areas more effectively.
