Its 8pm. Time for #ukedchat with @mattsmith566 @ukedchat How have tablets affected levels of engagement & learning in your class? Tonights #ukedchat looks into how tablets affect @MattSmith566 engagement. Is it an illusion or is there real impact? @BrightonMax scientists find damage from new @SwayGrantham technologies, i was the generation who was supposed to be brain damaged by my mobile #ukedchat @MattSmith566 Please remember to use the #ukedchat. Game on. Tablets are a great resource, but use for the sake of @mrmaldini2 using, or overusing is entertainment over education. Just another resource #ukedchat Just updated all the content on my website! @urban_teacher http://www.urbanteacher.co.uk check it out #ukedchat #edtech #edchat #sltchat @mrmaldini2 couldn't agree more. Has to have real @MattSmith566 purpose to affect the learning #ukedchat Tablets have really worked for our ADHD kids. Helped @frogphilp them focus and learn to read, but the doctors have to get the dosage right. #ukedchat @mrmaldini2 I have been working on this with my @SwayGrantham iPads - it's an entire change in pedagogy not for games #ukedchat @SwayGrantham @BrightonMax I think we will always @MattSmith566 have this issue with all technology...is it ever proven? #ukedchat Lots of students aren't keen on reading but stick a @mrandmrsteach Kindle in front of them and things can change quickly #UKedchat @MattSmith566 @BrightonMax everything is bad for @SwayGrantham you in large doses, tea, even exercise if it's not part of a balanced life... #ukedchat CoderDojo: Creating a Grassroots Culture for @Bett_show Computer Coding & Programming [Video] http://bit.ly/161iZO5 #ukedchat #asechat Using iPads to support reading for #ASD pupils is @violetjo3010 going well - but teacher needs to stay in control to ensure learning focus #ukedchat @mrandmrsteach the indepedence it can give lower @SwayGrantham ability readers to look up and check words they don't understand is invigorating #ukedchat @LeavUrImge2FDP @MattSmith566 Tablets only enhance engagement.

They magnify an educators existing innovation or lack thereof #ukedchat @SwayGrantham @BrightonMax Maybe ask, 'would learning opps be better without? #ukedchat @MattSmith566 @SwayGrantham @BrightonMax It's about using technology when it's appropriate not overuse. #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/qIqolvNSkM @MattSmith566 absolutely. I still like to see children manipulating materials. Creating and being enthused without 'modern toys' #ukedchat Grechen here! coming in late. #ukedchat So excited to talk tablets :) #ukedchat what apps would you recommend that are helping to improve learning in your schools? @SwayGrantham Agreed. Also a great way to engage students in reading/book clubs #ukedchat RT @gwill72: #ukedchat what apps would you recommend that are helping to improve learning in your schools?

They are used for sake of using tho. Justify the expense? #ukedchat Students have to be equipped with the ability to choose

Licensing for one & syncing and lots of good apps suddenly r expensive @frogphilp higher engagement = higher attainment? @MattSmith566 #ukedchat @mrandmrsteach Does this teach a love of reading, or @mrmaldini2 a love of the technology? #ukedchat For non verbal pupils #speakall is great app to ask key @violetjo3010 questions to gauge whether they are reading with comprehension #ukedchat #SEN #ASD Study guides readily available on mobile/tablet apps @mrandmrsteach #UKedchat @Kezmerrelda whereas no headaches with @frogphilp Chromebooks. Not tablets but 2/3 the price of an iPad and loads easier to manage. #ukedchat @MattSmith566 Diverse & evolving evaluation metrics. @LeavUrImge2FDP We need 2 set & gauge unique goals. Cookie-cutter assessmnt = disservice #ukedchat Anyone got experience of parent reading afternoon? @Mrs_Harrop How did u set it up? What worked well? #ukedchat Learning redefined.Tablets allow a combo of edmodo, @School_LN padlet, nearpod and educreations to link, share, create and measure learning #ukedchat Students need to make decisions with technology as @Denbigh_TSA thy would with a calculator etc. #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/7B56n5wI5w RT @Graham_IRISC: Free workshop on how to @Graham_IRISC develop a professional learning community in your school #ukedchat http://ow.ly/q8FPn Worksheets and tablets #ukedchat #edchat #edtech @MohammedSidat #education #teach pic.twitter.com/uyb7C1Gwb7 @mrmaldini2 Either way it encourages students to start @mrandmrsteach reading even it's just due to technology at first #UKedchat #Windowsphone apps for MIEE,teachers&students to integrate #mLearning @MicrosoftPIL discussion @web20education http://www.pil-network.com/Discussion/4990aec47642-4401-a71d-661a4e47c1ec #ukedchat #tlchat @MattSmith566 True - but I want to see the months @frogphilp but by how much?

investing in CPD? #ukedchat @gwill72 audoiboo, showme, QR reader.. see my blogpost: http://bit.ly/1ejPKc2 #ukedchat #ukedchat iPad minis for eyfs teachers has made our online learning journeys a lot easier #ukedchat < is it hard for students to concentrate on the task in hand because the tablet has so many other apps and functions? @MrBAyres Check out "iClevedon: Share the Vision, Share the Learning" http://iclevedonvisionestw.eventbrite.co.uk #ipaded #ADE2013 #ukedchat @Denbigh_TSA then we'll remove the Y6 Mats Calc paper for SATs. *slaps head in disbelief* #ukedchat @MohammedSidat I love this! So many teachers tell us theyre happy Kodable isnt a glorified worksheet. #ukedchat @violetjo3010 will look at that. Any other good ones for speech and Lang? #ukedchat @MattSmith566 tablets + other devices do provide the opp for students develop their own lines of enquiry to deepen understanding #ukedchat @frogphilp why not both? Surely only way is to have a go. Is it not a part of CPD to develop pedagogy using tech? #ukedchat @TechnopopLondon you can lock them out of other apps and functions using guided access #ukedchat @frogphilp we have been looking at tesco 99 one as a maybe. Love iPads but apple windows conflict forever an issue. #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda I love my iPad mini and its so much easier for the little ones to use #ukedchat #ukedchat If you know any teachers in the Cheshire area who would like to work with us on an innovative project. Ask them to DM me. Thanks. @frogphilp @MattSmith566 it's a balance - with CPD iPads are a good tool, without they're for game play... #ukedchat Browse to large list of educational apps on the #ukedchat site at http://ukedchat.com/eduapps/ @frogphilp what are apps like for them?

explanation video at the end of the week instead of 'finishing off time' #ukedchat Far more senior pupils completing meaningful work at home and taking ownership over their progress beyond the classroom #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda am about to get choose it maker 3 which can now be used on iPads. Heard good reports! #ukedchat #sen #asd @mrandmrsteach So when we take the technology away, what happens? Generate the love first, use the tech after. Chicken vs egg. #ukedchat @bekblayton #ukedchat < OK that is great.... interesting. @MohammedSidat Thats a good idea. Ill share it with other teachers to spread the good judgement ;) #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda No apps. Just the web. Chromebooks are close to being bricks without wifi, but amazing with good wifi. #ukedchat Using iPads to improve #literacy and #numeracy #ukedchat why not sign up now with@Denbigh_TSA and @Dragonfly_Edu pic.twitter.com/BDjKD18ul7 Who is using tablet technology to teach in #STEM subjects? Anyone for the built environment and design? What apps? #ukedchat @Kezmerrelda @frogphilp Apple has finally caught on to the boom in ed, many more options available. Meraki, AirWatch #ukedchat @kodable the teachers have so evidence can go straight into their online learning journeys. Kids use bigger ones! #ukedchat @TechnopopLondon yes, but need to learn to manage distractionn and to be selective in their choice of tools #ukedchat @gwill72 @MattSmith566 yes but isn't learning better when it's social? that's what we're being taught at Brighton ;-) #ukedchat @MattSmith566 @Kezmerrelda Yup - I love Meraki use it at my school. #ukedchat @MattSmith566 @Kezmerrelda @frogphilp Yes! I was so happy to see the reduced price mini on Monday #ukedchat

Give a man an iPad and he can educate himself for an hour.

Is a classroom not social? #ukedchat @BrightonMax @gwill72 collaboration is obviously huge - Apple TV for example changes pedagogy #ukedchat Nomophobia - fear of missing out syndrome #ukedchat via @mrwaldram http://www.textmagic.com/blog/nomophobia-how-isthe-biggest-phobia-in-the-world-affecting-businesses/ @Kezmerrelda @MattSmith566 Don't know Airwatch but Meraki is a wifi management system you can use for controlling devices #ukedchat @BrightonMax @MattSmith566 the power of the crowd eh? I certainly thinks so, but it is important to have clear guidelines on use #ukedchat I'm building a section on our website with #edtech advice for NQTs. Any recommended blogs I should link to?

children to explain their learning on display boards. If misused, is there not the danger that tablets will create lazy(ier) teachers and children? Taking unnecessary shortcuts? #ukedchat I tell my students Always be a 1st rate version of yourself instead of a 2nd rate version of someone else. #ukedchat #edchat @mrmaldini2 In what way? #ukedchat Tonight #ukedchat is discussing the engagement value of using tablets in the classroom. What do you think? #ukedchat @WhiteDebs great stuff. Similar use along with QR codes to link work to display board in class. Great for parents #ukedchat Great posters for EVERY Staff room & classroom. https://twitter.com/primary_ed/status/38176806583626 1377 & https://twitter.com/primary_ed/status/37527978665207 8080 #ukedchat #edchat #edtech #ecoo13 iTablets - Teachers' Saviours #ukedchat http://ow.ly/i/3wlMz @Ideas_Factory Then surely it's the normal teaching methods which should be reviewed? Tablets shouldn't be teaching anyone. #ukedchat @MattSmith566 First use it to engage & then get them creating! Use games like angry birds and temple run http://mrparkinsonict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/usingpopular-ipad-games-as-stimulus-in.html #ukedchat Tablets are an all-in-one.Don't need a separate camera,video recorder or computer anymore-not just for the kids! #ukedchat @mrmaldini2 #ukedchat @kodable : isn't there a time and place for everything? Innovation doesn't make teachers lazy - in any staff room ! @WhiteDebs have you tried group maker? #ukedchat Poster of some past #ukedchat #TeachTweet videos with @HannahTyreman @ASTSupportAAli & more http://ukedchat.com/wpcontent/uploads/2013/10/TeachTweet-video-poster.pdf http://ukedchat.com/teachtweet/ The idea that tablets should be used, firstly, to engage children is frightening beyond the pale. #ukedchat

What about the app store for investigating persuasive writing? #ukedchat of course @mrmaldini2 Its how you use them-even just using tablet as a 'screen' for writing produced more work than piece of paper #ukedchat RT @MrWaldram: iTablets - Teachers' Saviours #ukedchat http://ow.ly/i/3wlMz I sound like a right old fart tonight.
