Managing iPads in the Classroom

Gentile, M. (2012). The Importance of Managing iPads in the Classroom. The Education Digest, 78, 11-13. Retrieved November 25, 2012, from the ProQuest Central  database.

This source was interesting because it discussed a school districts decision to purchase tablets, like the iPad, and it addressed their concerns. Their main concerns were the tablets meeting the districts requirement for enforcing security, managing content, and monitoring and controlling access. The school district recognized that technology was changing and growing, and they needed to do the same.

The questions and concerns above were heavily considered when purchasing a tablet, and it also was also discussed that teachers needed to be able to manage their classrooms. With anything, I feel as though it is important as a classroom teacher to be able to manage a classroom, and teachers may just need to adjust their expectations of their students. Ultimately, I think if school districts have faith in the advances in technology, they will do justice to their students.
