A summer highlight.

In August, Trish and I had the extreme fortune to instruct a Summer Academy session in Dryden, ON., called 'Making the Most of an iPad in an Elementary Classroom'. We met a group of amazing teachers from the Keewatin-Patricia local who gathered for 3 days with us in Dryden to learn as much as they could about using iPads for Learning. 
Their board, like ours, had a big iPad deployment last fall, however, unlike our board, the deployment did not come with training, so for many, this was their first opportunity to attend any type of iPad PD. Most of them were really craving the chance to gather with a group to brainstorm, discuss, learn, explore, collaborate and share ideas. It really reinforced for us the importance of accompanying any new initiative with the appropriate professional development. We were thrilled to be able to provide this experience for them and know that they will seek out further opportunities and share much of what they learned back in their schools throughout the year. We created a website and blog for our Dryden adventure which can be seen here > http://ipads4learning.weebly.com
