Year 7 Parent
Information Evening
2015
Welcome
iPads in Year 7?
• All students will receive an iPad just before
half term to assist them in their learning
• They will be allowed to bring that learning
device home
• No games
Aims of tablet eLearning
1:1 scheme’s primary focus is to assist:
students shape their
own learning
You still have books, you still have teachers, you still have written assessed work.
What can you do in the middle to improve outcomes?
iPads can assist students: find information, formulate ideas, collaborate etc etc BEFORE the final piece of work
• Students have choice over the activities they do in my lessons
• Students have different learning goals in the same class
• Students have some choice over the learning goals they have
to achieve
• Students have choice over resources to use
• Students choose where to learn
• Students have to negotiate with each other to decide on the
direction of the learning
• Students choose how to present their findings
• Students make suggestions to me about what they do next
• I act as tutor to small groups/individuals:

= personalisation, choice and voice
By providing lesson resources & learning outcomes
online students can tackle activities in an order they
choose, spending more time on what they feel they
need to, continually checking what they need to do
next. They can personalise the context of that learning,
consolidate understanding and extend their knowledge.
They can take their learning outside of the classroom
and still have access to resources.
Students can use technology to collaborate on activities,
both within and outside of the classroom.
They can use technology (or not) to present their
understanding in a manner which suits their learning
style best.
Allowing students to work independently means that
teachers can work with small groups and assist their
particular needs, continually checking understanding.
