2. Make it collaborative.
“I’d like to see more apps and opportunities for multiple children to work together on one iPad.” —jhartman
“Concept Board: This application allows whiteboard/verbal/visual communication in real time among members of a learning group. Seems at first glance to be like sitting down with a student with a piece of paper between you to explore understandings.” –Linda Saleski
3. Have more control.
“An app lockdown and presentation system would be nice; that way, the teacher could pick and choose what apps and sites would be seen and go next in the lesson, synching to all the other designated iPads in the room.” –L. Wesmen
4. Make the tracking of progress easier.
“What is most important to me … is the ability to monitor and track student progress and performance in a given program. In addition to using the creativity features of the iPad, photos, video, and audio recording, for student projects, I want to monitor students’ reading comprehension, math skills, and problem solving progress. In my current experience as a classroom teacher, and as a computer resource teacher in the past, I find progress tracking in computer programs has been deficient. Programs must be effectively designed so that students can manage use on their own, and the teacher reporting features should be simple enough for a teacher to monitor progress easily.” —Sarah Zykanov, fourth grade teacher, San Pedro Elementary School
