Wondering how we (staff) can convince our PTA to make an investment into technology to buy a set, or half class set of Ipod Touches for our school. I'm sure some of the parents will see them as a poor investment, but they need to recognize the POTENTIAL of these devices. I'm sure there is a security fear. Where can we store them, how can we assure their safety (meaning not getting stolen or dropped). Proper training of the students. I need to figure out where we can money.
In my school community I wouldn't feel comfortable asking parents to send in mobile devices such as Ipads or Ipod touches. I also couldn't count on students having these devices at home. Apple may make products that are UDL, but are they truly accessible for all?
I find class moves very quickly. We could spend an infinite amount of time tinkering with our blogs or learning the ins and outs of Inspiration, learning about QR Codes and Prizmo was quite the paper saver.
Prizmo - I wonder what my primary teaching partner would think of all this. Imagine the THOUSANDS of sheets of paper it could save!

You could apply for PDAF funding!
