This part of the project was a little frustrating. First, I had to go back and remind myself how to do a podcast. Then after I did a couple, I had a "duh" moment on how to do it easier.
One of the biggest bumps in the road is the time it takes to explore all of the iPad apps. There are so many out there that I haven't explored or don't even know about. I have many emails people have graciously sent me listing iPad apps. There are only so many minutes of the day that one can investigate and prepare. Teaching is communicating with your students. If the students need me for assistance before and after school, I am there for them.
The surprise is how much the students enjoy the graphics of the iPad. Attendance in my school is a problem. As a result, I am able to gather the students in attendance around the iPad, using graphics or short explanations, keeping their attention. This is so invigorating. I wish I could put the graphics up on my overhead so I could read their faces while I am presenting the material. I have been told this loses effect unless an Apple TV is installed
I am really pleased with the teaching progress the iPad has already shown me. I look forward to the research that lies ahead of me. Here is my mp4:
