UCDS invested in iPads for all their 5th graders this year. The fifth grade has a service learning component and the iPads have been specifically implemented as journals for their service learning projects. In March they introduced reading on the iPad with a lesson about how to take notes, using the dictionary, highlight, and bookmark using iBooks. Some of the comments from the fifth graders about their experience with iPads included:
- No sore hands
- On instantly
- Apps are easy to find
- Made me more responsible
- We had to create rules about using them
- It's okay for journals, but it would be just as easy to write.
- Adobe Ideas
- Dragon Dictation
- Google Earth
- Photoshop
- Photos
- Keynote
