So what are the issues when implementing
iPads in teaching and learning?

Technical Pedagogical

Some questions to consider

Individual Organisational

Technical

• How do you keep them all charged and updated?

• Using Apple Configurator or not

• Locking down or opening up i.e. personalising or
treating as organisational devices

• Theft prevention

• Straightforward wireless access

• Sufficient wireless access points

• Robust wireless access

Pedagogical

• Do you focus on subject specific apps or generalised
apps?

• How do you prepare teachers in classroom
management for iPads?

• Learner centred, active learning not teacher
centred, passive learning – can be a challenge for
some

• Are they multi-user devices or personal devices?

• Convincing teaching staff of their value!

• Giving time to explore their potential

Organisational

• Do you use a college account(s) or do you allow
personal accounts to be used?

• How do you cope with the staff development issues?

• Do you allow students and tutors to use their own
devices in your network?

• Is your network sufficiently robust to cope with the
number of devices?

• Are senior management onside or do they view it as a
gimmick

Individual

• Do you allow personalisation of the iPad?

• Do you allow students to take them home?

• Do you allow them to us their own iTunes account?

• What happens if a student loses (or has their iPad
stolen)?

• How do you build the staff and students’ confidence?
