ICTs in English

[Raewyn Donnell <raewyndonnell AT gmail.com>]

Its a HUGE leap of faith! Here are some sites to get you going....

https://www.teachingchannel.org

http://www.edmodo.com

http://www.edcanvas.com

https://www.polleverywhere.com/login

https://itunes.apple.com/nz/app/doodle-buddy-paint-draw-scribble/id313232441?mt=8

http://evernote.com/skitch/

If you use twitter follow Stephen Harris @Stephen_H  for daily updates on sites

http://www.teachingandelearning.com

It becomes addictive. One site leads to another and so on. I am looking at starting my classes with their own edmodo pages linking to edcanvas 

Then there is having reading groups operating through the Goodreads app

they will be orientating themselves around the school using googlemaps and doodle buddy

It can be overwhelming - the sheer volume of information out there is astounding.

Jump in. Google BYOD. Google 'using ipads in the classroom' and feel free to share if you come up with anything exciting

Kia ora,

Last year I bought an iPad with part of the intention of using it for educational purposes. So far I have greatly increased my music collection and have downloaded Street Fighter and Guitar Hero. Does anyone have any advice for:

1. which apps to purchase/download, especially word processing and presentation programmes

2. How to use an iPad with a 2touch board and data projector

3. How to make the iPad an English teaching machine!

Thanks for any help,
