2. Consumption vs. Creation
• Likely, it depends on you...
• Most folks tend to run
Consump(on;*
70%*
Crea(on;*30%*

3. Why the iPad?
• It is a content creation device
• It is a desirable device
• It allows for differentiation of instruction
• Student generated texts

4. SAMR Model
• The progression from Writing 1.0 to 2.0
• Stepping from "substitution" to "augmentation" allowing
the technology to provide "functional improvement."
• Goal should not be to apply the paper or digital
processes
• Consider how to leverage the capabilities of the device
to "modify" and "redefine" what's possible

6. How does the use of iPads
affect student literacies?

14. What students said:
• “I believe from my experience that it would
motivate others to want to read and write
more.”
• “The iPads make things fun but I would write
with or without the iPads.”
• “I think using an iPad to read or write is great. I
think it helps me to read and write more
because the technology is awesome. I honestly
think I will read and write a lot more.”

16. What does this mean for teachers?
• Teachers open to new tools provide more
opportunities for differentiating instruction/
learning
• If teachers don’t lead the way, who will?
• iPads excel in kinesthetic/tactile learning
• Far more interactive than traditional
technologies
• iPads get students excited to learn and “do”
• Not to mention teachers
