More Chromebooks than iPads. Chromebooks and iPads have become the two most popular digital devices in classrooms (with laptops, 2-in-1 devices like Surface Pro, and Macs next). Treating students as partners in learning meant teachers presented material in a variety of ways (audio, video, written, games, and more).

Now, the reason we love these numbers apps is because they provide a structured, yet entertaining and effective way for kids to become fluent in the concept of numbers, counting, comparisons, and values, while engaging them with games and rewards to motivate their learning. If only there were such apps around when WE were in school, right?

They were also able to use the video option easily to record themselves reading or working math problems. With photo, video, and annotation skills, many new creative options are possible with students using SeeSaw. As the teachers and I explored, one of the comparisons we made was the photo process between the two apps.

The biggest question I get after a workshop or training session is how did our iPad roll-out have so much success both in my classroom and for our school. Five years ago our 6th-grade team was asked to pilot a 1:1 iPad initiative. I was intrigued by its ability to control the iPads in the classroom and its already made lessons.

Can you use GlogsterEDU on an iPad? No, because it is Flash-based and iPads do not run Flash. There are some browsers that allow you to view Flash video, but this is actually a Flash-based interactive composer, so it would not work on an iPad. Can you tell I am not a fan of printing?

By almost any point of comparison, Bank Street pays its teachers well. Part of the Family Center’s core pedagogical philosophy is that young children learn mostly through play and experimentation rather than formal instruction—and that it’s best when that learning takes place with real-world action rather than through a television or iPad.

Half of those, the firm said, would be iPads. Apple sold just 50 million iPads. I can’t find its origin – but it must be true: a futurist said it in a keynote, and the video was posted to the Internet. In 2011, the analyst firm Gartner predicted that annual tablet shipments would exceed 300 million units by 2015.
