=Barrack Heights Public School iPad Project=

The iPad as a teaching resource, like all Information Technology, has potential, and this is only limited by its use and understanding. The potential for this device is that it can be integrated into the classroom to meet the learning outcomes of any lesson and become an everyday functional and communicative educational device. It is time for the teacher to no longer stand in awe of technology in the classroom but be in command of it. The following document was constructed as a guide with teachers in mind so that they are able to use the iPad in the classroom with ease and expertise. It is built on the NSW Curriculum and also gives administrators the tools they need to implement their own schools iPad Projects.

Please use and distribute it freely. If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask.

// "I had the pleasure to attend the second **ISER iPad Reference Group** meeting. It was brilliant to see many teachers after school meeting, discussing and sharing ideas and resources. In particular, Jonathon Cusack shared with the audience a project he conducted for Barrack Heights Public School. The project required Jonathan to work with key staff to incorporate iPads into their learning program." Loreta Kocovska //

// "In late 2011 have employed a teacher to incorporate iPads into our learning program and the results of this project have been compiled in the following document. Included are the stages of implementation, example lessons and an extensive list of educational Apps with a description and the outcome or outcomes that the App relates to in the syllabus. All issues regarding implementation have been solved and they are now a fully functioning learning device. The iPad is not a DET supported device, but hopefully this guide will give you all the support your school needs to install an iPad project.”. Robert Cusack - Principal //
