Teacher Training Should Start Before iPad Deployment
Professional Development Teacher Training Should Start Before iPad Deployment ELL instructors, like those in other disciplines, are discovering the benefits of iPads in the classroom. When iPads suddenly populate English language learner classrooms, teachers often face a steep adoption curve. Bloom, who also teaches an iPad training session for ELL teachers, said that even before they begin to use iPads in their classrooms, the first step is to get the devices into the teachers' hands and then allow a minimum half-day training session. Bloom's training regimen starts with an overview of the iPad's features, then moves on to "everything they needed to know about the device and how to use it." "Our philosophy around professional development--and it's been very successful thus far--is frequent, relevant, and collaborative," said Connolly, who fosters creative collaboration among instructors using an iPad for the first time.
