Please don't wake me if I'm dreaming because this is TOO good! I've been busy getting our class set of iPad minis ready to start the year. I have labelled cords to help students quickly find their device and return it to the proper charging station. We are not allowed to mark cases because we will redistribute them throughout the year as needed. We will use a student picture for the screensaver to identify the device, but I was worried about charging them. How would they identify their device the next day? They will now match their magic number to the proper cord. My only concern is how long the tabs will last since they are only address labels. If you have improvement ideas, I'd love to hear them! I can't wait to use these tools within our daily routines. Thank you Maryville City and all shareholders for your support in making this moment happen.

we are going 1:1 this year. Do you have any tips on what we should and should not do based on your first year experience?

This past year was a phenomenal experience! I was impressed over and over again by the ability of my students. My first piece of advice is don't underestimate their capabilities! My other main piece of advice would be to get really good and a few things instead of introducing them to multiple things. I would choose a few productivity apps and stick to them. My top 3 are Notability, padlet (web-based), and Adobe Voice. We set up procedures for getting and storing headphones since they are not always needed. We also had routines for turning iPads over (screen done) when instructions were being given. My last piece of advice would be, do not feel pressured to use them all the time. There are some things better done without technology. Enjoy it and I'd love to hear about your experience!
