Thing 2: How to get student work off of an iPad

As iPads were created for personal use, how do we utilize them in the library with multiple users? Well, we have many options. Through my district, students have a Google account, which allows them to use Google Docs to save and share work. This is a wonderful to use for students and teachers. As they work, the documents are saved in their accounts and not on the iPad. Any work left on an iPad, is subject to being deleted by other students or updates. Using Google Docs, is a good way around that problem.

Another way to get workflow from an iPad to a "safer" location is to utilize blogs. I will probably use KidBlog as it allows for teachers to create blogs with their students. I really love the ability to check and approve comments and posts before they are published. Using a blog will also allow for students to enter in their work/assignments without the risk of being deleted from the device. I am looking forward to utilizing both Google Docs and Kidblog with my students in the library.
