iPads in the Classroom Project 2012:
Year 1 Maths
Project Team: Cathie Howe and Dr Nerida McCredie
Many schools are considering introducing iPads into their classrooms.
In Term 3, 2012, Macquarie ICT Innovation Centre (MacICT) conducted a small case study to explore how Year One students and teachers might make use of iPads in their classrooms.
The project particularly focused on exploring how iPads can support and extend mathematical learning.
MacICT worked with students and teachers from two schools in the Northern Sydney Region to investigate how to uncover useful apps, ways to introduce and use iPads with young students and explored new opportunities for students to show their teachers how they work mathematically.
