Using iPad to play games

It is very interesting because this week I used my iPad to play games.  I was glad because my daughter was also involved soon as she heard that I was using my iPad.   Now, I have to buy an iPad for her because she said to me, "Mom now I want an iPad like this when I grow a little older."  There is some things that an iPad can be used for and it is also an important tool in order for children to learn, because it is a tool that is "hands on."  The children can see in this case the game and respond to the game.  Learning type of games can be effective especially if they involve teamwork (where they can lean to share and work together), sales which would teach them math skills and prepare them for pre-school.  Technology in this case iPads, can help us in many ways.   It can help them learn faster than the past generation on how children where taught in the past.  This video shows how children can get the answers right.

The use of Ipad to learn about the world

This week I used my Ipad to look for places to travel.  I love traveling and most of my professors have said to me that if there is something you want to do make sure you travel a lot.  Since I am interested and want to teach students from other countries that want to learn English as a second language I am very interested to see their cultures and their countries.  I have promised myself that every year I want to travel somewhere new, new country in order to see the world.  I have already been to my country Albania and I travel often there.  Near there I have been to Greece (Athens), United Kingdom (London), France (Paris). I am also making plans to go to Dominican Republic this summer.  I love to see new countries and to travel so I used my Ipad in looking for what places I wanted to go this summer. Knowing about other countries and traveling to these countries will help me gain knowledge about the world and every country.  The knowledge about other countries will help how to teach my students in a effective way, in how they learn and what they think.  It will help me with my future dream of becoming a English Second Language Teacher.

My dreams of becoming a great teacher

I hope that one day in my classroom when I teach English Second Language learners I will be able to use iPads.  In fact, I hope that all my students get an Ipad just like we did in Dr. Sotillo's class and each student can use the ipad to use all semester 24/7.  I also hope to observe my student's blogs just like most of the teachers I know, require their students to have a blog everyday on what they do and what they study.   As teachers we need a place to put "stuff" so in order to keep track of my students I would create a central location and that would be having blogs.  I want each one of my students to have a blog as well as me.  I would also probably create a website where we as a class to learn.  Ipads will help English Second Language learners because they can see pictures of a word they cannot understand and so much more for them to learn.  Again, these are my dreams and I hope one day they became a reality.  

Ipad experience to the airport

Having an Ipad can indeed change everything.  This week my parents left to Albania and I had to take them to the airport.  I had my Ipad with me when we went to the airport and it was an excellent idea to take it with me because I was able to take some pictures of them before they left.  I was also able to play music for them on our way there.  I had to take my daughter with me and when we came back my daughter was able to play with activities on the Ipad.  She was able to learn a little math as well because on a word pad I created some exercises like, for example 1+1=2.   I was very happy because my daughter didn’t cry on the way to the airport and on my way coming back home.  So Ipad’s are very advantageous every way in learning.

Ipad to the park

This week was spring break and we had a week off from school.  It was nice to have a little break, but yet it was great having to use our Ipads at home.  I used my Ipad to listen to music mostly but also to try to catch up with work that I had to do for school.   I went to the park with my daughter and I had the Ipad with me, it was quiet a difference holding an Ipad rather than a lap top because Ipads are so much smaller and convenient.  I love it there is not much to say rather than I loving my Ipad!

Ipad experience

This week I used my Ipad to read a book.  Ipad in my case is a very useful tool because I didn't have to buy the book instead I just read it online.  It is great because I went to my cousin's house and I just took the Ipad with me and continued to read at her house, they were also amazed about IPads.  Now I am making everyone in my family buy Ipads because they see me use my Ipad everywhere and in many useful ways.  I also took notes while reading my book online, instead of having to write notes by hand.  It is just easier because I took my Ipad outside in my backyard and the weather has just been great, and while watching my daughter play outside with her toys I was reading my book online on my Ipad.  It is great owning an Ipad!

Greatest Invention- IPAD

Today, as usual, I used my favorite apple creation to date, the iPad. Not only is this invention great for roaming the internet, but it helps me manage classes, assignments, and my social life. I spend most of my time either taking care of my daughter, in school, or work. I barely have time to think! I now use the InClass app and it helps me put all the chaos in a manageable order. This is without a doubt one of my favorite and most convenient apps. 

Ipads are very useful

Ipads are incredible, and useful in every way.  This week I have used the ipad to study for my mid-terms mostly.  Instead of having to write all my notes and my study guides for the mid-terms in hand writing, I used my ipad to study for the mid-terms.  It is like carrying your notebook with you.   Everywhere I went I got the ipad with me.   Now, my sister is begging my parents to buy her an ipad because she is jealous that I have one.  My husband wants to buy an ipad for my daughter now as she knows how to use it because she has used my ipad.   I love it because it is just incredible and very accommodating.

My experience on Ipad

My ipad experience is getting better and better.  I use it mostly to take notes in most of my classes.   I use it at home, on campus.  At home it is great having an ipad because sometimes I show my parents my cousin's pictures on Facebook because my cousins live in Albania.  Sometimes I play music for them, Albanian music, they are very happy.  My parents are as exited as I am because it is wonderful what technology is doing for us.  My daughter is loving my ipad as well she knows how to use it as well.  She sometimes plays Dora the Explorer on youtube and she loves the ipad because it is such a small device but yet it does work so wonderful and it does great things.   Technology getting better and better which is great.  I hope that even when I become a teacher they allow my students to use ipads in class as they are useful in many ways in learning.  For example in one of the best ways it is helping me use in my classes and take notes, instead of having to carry my lap-top which is big and having to carry my books as well.  Ipad is very small and easy to carry everywhere I go.

Ipads are amazing

It is just a great experience having an Ipad.  It comes very handy in very different ways and different events.  I take my ipad in every class in campus.  The best thing that I love about my ipad is that everyone is jealous when they see me with my ipad around.  They all ask me how much did you buy your ipad? and especially when I tell them that I got it from a class that I took here in Montclair State University, you can see their face expression that they get even more jealous.  I always say you should take that class it is very interesting and you get to use, experience a new ipad, just like me.   Ipads are very useful especially in class I always carry it with me because it is very small and convenient to carry with me all the time.
