iPads in a Home Economics class??
Yes. I am a Home Economics teacher (now called Family & Consumer Sciences) that is getting ready to embark on the journey of integrating iPads into my curriculum starting 2nd semester. I plan to find ways to use the iPads in all of the units I cover with my 6th, 7th and 8th grade students. The following topics are what I teach: Child Care, Sewing, Money Management, Food & Kitchen Safety, Nutrition, Cooking, Table Manners, Career Choices, Fashion, and Interior Design. I hope to find free apps that I can use on the iPads as well as other tools by searching various education technology blogs. I will be posting tools I find on my blog. I also hope to post information about how the student involvement changes based on the integration of this technology.

Wow, Myra! That is great that your school has the financial resources to get iPads! You must have a great IT Department, also.
ReplyDeleteTell me. Are you working closely with IT, in order to get the APPs pre-loaded onto the iPads?
