5 Interesting Ways Schools Use iPads

Article sponsored by DealnBid FREE Online Auctions

by Katie Lepi-Edudemic

There are iPads flooding into just about every classroom and school these days. Or so it seems. Judging by the amount of interest from educators, students, and administrators, it’s easy to see that the iPad is a becoming a topic of discussion (at the very least) for many of us. So what are some of the more interesting ways schools use iPads and how are schools currently implementing them?

Below are just a handful of examples but there are boatloads more. In fact, we at Edudemic would love to hear from YOU! How are you implementing iPads? In a 1:1 environment? A BYOD classroom? Weigh in down in the comments so the rest of the readers can learn from you. After all, isn’t that what this is all about?

To Encourage History Discussions

Bringing the past to life is a great reason to integrate technology into any classroom or lesson. Wabash College’s 19th Century European History class has begun using iPads in order to allow students to take notes, do reading, check out their course syllabus, and more. The school has stated that the overall response to the iPads has been positive and that the various apps have let students have a more immersive experience. For example, they are able to take a virtual tour of Napoleon’s castle. Neat!

To Bring Teachers To Rural Areas

There’s a rural area of Sweden (Vindeln) that has seen iPads become a critical tool in filling teacher vacancies or simply bringing instruction to many areas not normally reachable by standard education systems. In other words, students in rural areas can have access to high quality teachers without either party having to travel very far.

To Streamline Med School

You may start seeing your doctor carrying around an iPad. In fact, I’d be surprised if they’re not already. That’s because iPads are becoming the standard piece of must-have tech for med students. The Perlman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania has already implemented a program to give every new student an iPad and, get this, a white coat with a pocket that is large enough to fit an iPad. Brilliant.
