Teaching the Post PC Generation

Gone are the days of “teaching” technology.

We must better understand and embrace

“using” technology in our teaching and learning.

The personal iPad is revolutionizing how we live,

socialize, collaborate,organize,

access information, and learn.

iPad implementations in public school

classrooms are sweeping across the country at an unprecedented rate.

The time for Adventist schools to embrace this revolution is

NOW…

…NOT when enrollments start to decline from students and parents choosing technologically advanced

alternatives…

…and Adventist teachers start

trying to

catch up.

It’s for shared devices.(Poor implementation!)

It’s for transport.(Unnecessary!)

It’s a waste of money for smaller systems like Adventist schools.

Get your IT support on the job early.

Consider your acceptable bandwidth, then

double it.

Plan ahead for instructional change.

Using the iPad in class is not a lateral change in materials.

Teachers will need training and support to adjust their instructional models,

expectations, and activities.

Contact and demand iPad apps and eTexts from your curriculum publishers.

Caldwell Adventist Elementary is proud to be part of the initiative.

Caldwell Adventist Elementary School is one of only 27 schools in Idaho to be awarded a grant through the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation’s Go On Schools initiative, aimed at resourcing and supporting Idaho schools who are committed to helping students Go On to education beyond high school. Fifty-two schools from across the state applied to be a Go On School.

Caldwell Adventist Elementary received $26,100 including approximately $15,000 designated for individual iPads and $3,000 for an

electrical engineering circuitry lab for students in 6th-8th grades. Teachers, students, parents, constituents, and board members are excited about the iPad implementation and planning ways to sustain the program after the initial grant period ends.

The iPads will be used for accessing interactive eTextbooks with the new Big Ideas Math series, Inkling forensic science apps, electrical

circuitry apps, TypingPal.com app, Career Information Systems (CIS) career planning program, eBook Language Arts, word processing, presentations, scientific calculators, personal organization, collaboration, and other innovative projects.

The J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation is a private family foundation committed to the vision of a world-class education that prepares Idaho's citizens for the 21st Century and beyond. www.JKAF.org
