Why should schools invest in iPad?
Why do you use iPad in your school?
'iPad helps with teaching and learning at our school because we see iPad as a tool for learning; you can use it to learn across the whole curriculum. So in a sense, this question is a bit like asking how does a paper and pencil help with learning, or how do tables and chairs help with learning? It's something that's foundational, that can be used in lots of different ways. But what we've done is we've tried to articulate ways that we feel like technology can particularly help with learning.'
Tim Lings, Director of Digital Learning- Heronsgate Primary School
Why do you use iPad in your school?
'The ability for our children to be able to draw, to be able to use video, to be able to mix the two and in a really intuitive way means that even our youngest learners can pick up the device and produce amazing images or really quick videos or capture shapes in an instant. So for us, it's the intuitive nature and almost the inbuilt creativity that fits with our schools teaching and learning vision'
