Why Use iPads in Music Education?

Picture

Introduction
Why use iPads in Education?
  • The iPad is easy to use. It is intuitive and users of all ages and abilities (including children with learning difficulties) do not require special training or professional learning on how to turn it on, navigate through and use apps, and maintain the iPad (i.e. charge and sync the iPad, update apps).
  • The touch-interactive flat screen tablet with pinch in/pinch out functionality provides students with autism, ADHD, Asperger’s, visual disabilities and poor fine and gross motor skills with more efficient access to effective learning opportunities.
  • High speed access to online information enables more self-directed learning and rapid access to a fast-growing market of relevant and regularly updated educational apps.
  • Portability enhances collaboration between students and communication between students and teachers, increases parental engagement in learning and strengthens home-school connections.

iPads for Learning Trial
During the trial students used their iPads with wireless internet access at school, and while at home were able to use their iPads with or without internet access. Students loaded their own apps onto the iPad to supplement the suite of specially selected apps.  The following schools were involved in the iPads for learning trial in Victoria
  • Dimboola Memorial Secondary College
  • Epsom Primary School
  • Manor Lakes P-12 Specialist College
  • Ringwood North Primary School
  • Royal Children’s Hospital Education Institute
  • Sunbury Downs Secondary College
  • Victorian College for the Deaf
  • Victorian College of the Arts Secondary College
  • Warringa Park School
  • Westall Secondary College


Early Childhood Initiative

Nineteen primary schools have been selected to participate in the Early Childhood iPad Initiative. The selection criteria considered the greatest level of improvement in NAPLAN reading and numeracy for results between 2009 and 2011. Selection was limited to the Literacy and Numeracy National Partnership schools in recognition of their work over the past two years. Over 850 iPad devices have been distributed to the 19 schools. The Year 1 and 2 students and teachers will have access to these devices.
