Be sure the physically demonstrate and discuss the rules of using the iPad in the classroom. Just telling them to share will not work. Here is an excellent poster that is free that I use in the classroom. http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/iPad-Rules-Posters-Black-and-White http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/iPad-Activity-Procedure-Card http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/iPad-Training-Program-Initial-Lesson

Sand timers or setting the alarm on the iPad make it easier for kids to share. Another great program to monitor students is ScreenTime. Screen Time is a simple app that allows you to set limits on the amount of time you children use an iPhone or iPad. Set a time length, press start and pass it to you children. After the time expires, a series of notifications will prevent your children from using the device until you enter the correct passcode.

If you use it as a motivational device make sure all students have a chance!!!!

Use it for differentiating instruction.

Give children one-on-one time on the iPad. Set up a schedule. Incorporate it with your computer schedule.

Use the iPad for a listening center. You can set up recordings on books in iTunes. If you want students to share you will need an adapter/splitting device.

Use it when teaching small group instruction. There is an app on every skill or lesson!

Pair your iPad with a projector and a VGA adapter. They can be found on Amazon for as little as $29. Also, some teachers put it under the document camera. Another great program you can purchase is Reflector App ($12.99). It is what I am using now.

Make a movie of a child reading. Let one child at a time create his or her story on the iPad rather than on paper.
