Adding iPads

Mobile devices are in the schools, but I believe it is time to take them outside of the school! Blending mobile devices, such as iPads, with outdoor learning experiences allows students to show their learning and they can share their discoveries with others in their communities and around the world. The lessons and activities on the Fall, Winter, and Spring pages have some device usage intergrated either in the main lesson or the extension activities. But many teachers and administrators are worried about taking expensive iPads outside with 5 and 6 year olds. It can be done, though. Below are some beginning activities you can do in your classroom to let students practice basic iPad skills like taking photos, videos, and documenting.
