iPads were introduced for years 1-3 AFTER piloting Samsung, Apple and no-brand tablets in different classes during 2014.

​

In response to identified learning needs and the outcomes of pilot 1:1 tablet classes in Manaiakalani schools, iPads (the device) and Explain Everything (the Application) have been identified as the technology that best support the Manaiakalani kaupapa and pedagogy Learn, Create, Share for 1:1 in our junior classes.

History

Beginning of the Year - Before school starts:

• All iPads set up the same - icons in the same folders, lock screen
• All iPads signed into individual learners’ Google Accounts (Google Drive, Chrome & Explain Everything)
• iPads labelled on the outside with learners’ name
• Stylus labelled with learners name

​

Setting up for success

Beginning of the Year - With the learners

• Start with ‘kawa of care’ routines including how to carry, where to store, where to be.
• Use ‘safety video’ BEFORE learners’ use them - play repeatedly over first few weeks - unpack as a class
• Loss of device for breaking ‘kawa of care’
• Whole class lessons over a few weeks (about 4 weeks)
