= Introduction to iPad: A Beginners Approach: Provided by Craig Wheatley and WKHS = = = Welcome to iPad. In 2008, Lexington School District One residents passed a bond referendum, and part of that referendum was to expand and upgrade existing technology. In the fine print of the bond referendum was a provision for one-on-one computing for students at the High School and eventually middle and elementary schools. Part of the one-on-one computing plan was assistance in preparing teachers to use the computing system in the schools. Beginning with the 2010-2011 school year, Gilbert High School did a trial with laptops in the classroom, while at the same time, teachers in Lexington School District One were going through training on how to use the laptops in the classrooms. In June of 2011, after the board visited institutions in the southeast, it was deemed that iPad2's would be better suited in the classroom than laptop computers. The downfall with this is that there was no more money budgeted for training of teachers, so as time approaches, for students to get the iPads, the teachers need training. This course will satisfy the district requirement for training, upon successful completion of all five sessions and the assessment. The different sessions and materials can be accessed through the tabs on the left.

The instructor for the training will be Mr. Craig Wheatley of White Knoll High School.
