Presented By: Carey O’Donnell

Assisted by: Andrew Roche, Scott Raff, Joseph Musumeci, Ancy Thomas, Lauren Gallant, & Frederick Saporito

Agenda • Review background and original objectives of iPad pilot

• Impact and challenges on curriculum design, methodologies (pedagogy),

classroom implementation

• Share some of my observations and experiences in an “all-digital”,

student-centric classroom environment

• Student Voices: MIS 2901 students present and discuss their experience,

demonstrate iPad capabilities, review pro’s/con’s

• Summarize pilot results; implications for higher education

• Q&A: instructor, students • Action Items

iPad Pilot: Background Millenial’s: First true Digitally-Centric generation • Access, process, and synthesize information differently • Socialize, organize, and communicate differently • Want to learn differently IT as an impediment to classroom learning? • While integral to my curriculum, NOT an integral part of daily classroom interaction • Laptops, PDA’s, Web 3.0..often a barrier to student engagement Shift the Paradigm • From instructor-centric to student-centric • Engagement – Internal & External • Collaboration – Internal & External • Student responsibility & accountability for enhancing their own learning outcomes • Professional Development • Partnerships, Team Orientation So...How?

The Challenge Internet 3.0, Management 2.0………Education 1.0? • Business is going ‘social’, management methodologies need to adapt to

hyper global competition and pace of change….the ground rules are changing rapidly. • So what about higher education?

How to co-opt information technology to create a more engaging classroom experience and enhance learning outcomes, while recognizing that: • IT is not a primary focus in our area of expertise • Bewildering and seemingly endless array of technology, applications,

systems • For many of us, technology is intimidating, difficult to master, with a history of not meeting expectations in the classroom • Technology intensive classrooms could require a fundamental revamping of our curriculums, methodologies, syllabi Comfort Zone

ClassroomTools: Laptop vs. iPad ….are they really that different? Both are: • Digital devices that store & process information • Run applications • Access email, messages • Access multimedia (e.g. videos) • Designed as portable devices So What’s All the Fuss?

iPad ….it really IS different Tangible: • Many excellent features/capabilities • High quality graphic display • Excellent multimedia device • Superior design & ergonomics • Battery life • Student integration of personal, academic, and work profiles Intangible: • iPad has become a powerful, iconic symbol of change

MIS 2901 Curriculum • Digital content & delivery (Courseload); iPad’s each student • Students organized into 5 teams, each responsible for presenting

two textbook chapters

• Teams incented to incorporate iPad apps and technology in their

multi-media presentations; goal was total classroom engagement & collaboration

• Each team submitted presentations after class to instructor, &

prepared 30 test questions after each presentation

• Promote environment for constructive feedback from class after

each presentation; teams learned from each other

• Other objectives:

- Professional Development - Study how students processed information & learned - Identify good educational iPad apps; pro’s & con’s

Student Introduction • Student presenters from 4 class groups: • Integration • Collaboration • Autonomy • Evolution

• Showcasing • Use of technologies • Pros, Cons, Recommendations • Demo of technology

Integration • Classroom reading,

notes • Work apps, calendars • Social games, eReaders • All aspects of student life together

Integration Tech - Facebook • Quizzing tool with discussion • Encourages sharing of supplemental material • Lack of privacy options

• Recommendation: study guide groups

Collaboration • Classroom becomes a

continuous effort • Independence in group work • Possible negatives

Collaboration Tech - Edmodo • Social media for classrooms • Benefits of Facebook; solves privacy issue • Built-in tools for teachers

own education • Teaching to others reinforces concepts • Develops communication, teamwork, and professional development skills

• Recommendation: offices hours, group

meetings, tutoring
