==**Beyond the Apps - A Pedagogical Approach to the iPad |** **Aaron Svoboda, Kearney Public Schools** ** | ISTE 2013 **== || || //**Learn more...**//
 * ~ [[image:Screen Shot 2013-07-11 at 5.29.47 PM.png width="95" height="79"]] ||~ We learned
 * create a Anticipatory Set with the criteria of //active involvement//, //transfer//, and //relevant// learning
 * objectives and Purpose - this is the WHAT and the WHY... consider how your students interact with the objectives and how you post/share the objectives
 * MODELING - if you say it, do it - high achievers need explanations and struggling students need to SEE it; consider students and teachers doing the same thing at the same time with the iPad [students need to always know where they are]
 * closure of a lesson is under and improperly used the most - the students' summarization of the learning for the purpose of clarification or insight
 * ~ [[image:dlclearning/Screen Shot 2013-07-11 at 4.44.26 PM.png width="110" height="89"]] ||~ Ideas for use are
 * to create an anticipatory set consider Google Forms or Padlet
 * presentation applications for presentation - Haiku Deck, YouTube Video, Google Docs Video, Website - transparency is key
 * lessons driven by Google Forms, Flubaroo, or Socrative as a built in exit ticket

 * helping to facilitate shifts in pedagogy with technology must begin in what teachers believe schools should do for students..."Schools should help students become...?"
 * helping schools/districts/educators tackle "legacy systems & structures" (assessment, grading, parent relationships, etc.) one at a time is KEY!
 * ~ [[image:dlclearning/Screen Shot 2013-07-11 at 4.44.26 PM.png width="110" height="89"]] ||~ Ideas for use are
