'Nothing is ever achieved without
enthusiasm.'
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
How to you use apps and lessons
with an entire class and only one
iPad
‘If your plan is for one year, plant rice;
If your plan is for ten years, plant trees;
If your plan is for a hundred years,
Educate children.’
-Confucius
The iPad can be used for…
• Morning work
• Math RIT Workstations
• Literacy Workstation

Managing the One iPad Classroom
• Begin by creating folders to make it easier
for students to find the appropriate
applications.
– To create a folder:
• Press and hold an app until all the apps begin to “wiggle” and
an “x” appears at the corner of each.
• Drag any app to another app and both will automatically be
placed in a folder.
• A title bar will appear.
• Tap on the title bar and the keyboard will appear.
• Type in a name for your folder.
• Tap an empty spot on the screen to see your titled folder.
Creating Folders
Press and hold an app until
all the apps begin to
“wiggle” and an “x” appears
at the corner of each.
Drag any app to
another app and both
will automatically be
placed in a folder.
Tap the folder to gain
access to the apps inside.
Managing the One iPad Classroom
• Morning work
– Assign each group a different day for
using the iPad in the morning.
– Students can:

with easy to download free books)
• Use the ShowMe, ScreenChomp, or Explain Everything
app to show how to do something they recently learned.
• Watch a video on the Brainpop or PBS Kids app.

HyperBlast, Math Kid, or several free flashcards apps.

Managing the One iPad Classroom
• Workstations
– Create task cards for applications and
activities.
– Model how to use the app by placing the app
under your document camera. This will cut
down on questions and arguments as the
students work in their groups.
– Have early finisher apps that students can use
if they finish their assignment early.
Note: (A folder has been created on the T:drive for
teachers to share their task cards.)
