Teachers are back to school!\u00a0 We\u02bbre going 1:1 iPad this year and we were fortunate to have Kristin Ziemke<\/a> work with our teachers at Kula Ha\u02bbaha\u02bba (our elementary school) and share best practices using iPads.\u00a0 Below are some of my takeaways from Kristin\u02bbs presentation.<\/p>\n

Meet the needs of diverse learners<\/h2>\n

Good teaching is good teaching and technology does not replace the teacher.\u00a0 As a classroom teacher I used to struggle meeting the needs of of all of my students and I would often teach to the middle.\u00a0 Then I learned how using technology helps address diverse learning needs of students.\u00a0 When text is digitized, for example, it allows for an interactive experience for learners.\u00a0 Students who have a hard time with vocabulary can use built in tools to find definitions.\u00a0 Students who have challenges reading, can converted text to audio.\u00a0 This can be used for a large body of text and even just a simple word a student needs help pronouncing.\u00a0 More exciting is the opportunity for students to enhance their text with media, information, and questions.\u00a0 When writing stories, students have a variety of ways to express themselves; making movies, creating slideshows, creating a podcast, etc.\u00a0 It allows for more student choice and voice.<\/p>\n

Cultivate student discovery and expertise<\/h2>\n

How many times have we heard, “don\u02bbt worry, the students will know”?\u00a0 More than I can count for sure!\u00a0 Technology allows students the opportunity to share, not only with us, but with the world!\u00a0 Allow them to create tutorials and let them know their work will be published online (which is another takeaway…open up real world audiences<\/strong>).\u00a0 Better yet, let them know you (the teacher) don\u02bbt know how to do something and have them figure it out for you.\u00a0 Talk about empowering students.\u00a0 Set up spaces in your classroom where students fell comfortable collaborating and sharing.<\/p>\n

Model, model, model<\/h2>\n

One of the ways to cultivate discovery is by demonstrating discovery.\u00a0 It\u02bbs okay for students to see their teachers don\u02bbt have all the answers and then learn how their teachers find answers.\u00a0 Want your students to give peer feedback?\u00a0 Model what that looks like.\u00a0 Kristin shared an example where her fifth grade partner teacher asks students to give her feedback.\u00a0 They learn how their feedback helps in a safe way.\u00a0 When commenting on a blog post or in edmodo, show students what that looks like and model it.\u00a0 My dear friend, Mr. Bowman, calls this commentiquette<\/a> and has a special page on his blog that describes it.<\/p>\n

Get connected<\/h2>\n

Kristin shared she used to think twitter was for following the rich and famous and looked at it as “bad sharing”.\u00a0 When she discovered how it could be used for professional development, it changed her life and has actually saved her time.\u00a0 I can totally relate!\u00a0 It\u02bbs allowed me to develop an amazing personal learning network (PLN) where I learn from other educators.\u00a0 In our journey in going 1:1 iPads, for example, we are able to learn from educators and schools around the world who have also gone 1:1.\u00a0 And it\u02bbs not just twitter, it\u02bbs a variety of social media.<\/p>\n

Make time for play<\/h2>\n

This was my favorite.\u00a0 In addition to helping relieve stress, play can make work more productive and enjoyable.\u00a0 It helps us manage our negative emotions.\u00a0 We know if early ed, play is often part of learning and in the upper levels…not so much.\u00a0 Kristin and her colleagues realize the importance of play not only for students, but adults and have created a new kind of conference called PLAYDATE<\/a>.\u00a0 That\u02bbs the kind of conference I want to attend!<\/p>\n
