The first couple of weeks have been filled with app finding and spending time organising them. The synching of apps is a wonderful thing, but it does take time sifting through to ensure the quality. If a teacher installs an app then realises it is poor quality, they delete it straight away. In the meantime it has appeared on all the other ipads. With 11 teachers installing apps, we quickly had over 200 to organise on each ipad.
Organising apps
Because the apps we want to use are different for year groups and key stages, each class is organising their own apps. To put apps into folders, you hold one down until they wobble, then you can move them around freely. If you put an app on top of another, it creates a folder which you can name. If you click the cross in the corner, it kisses the app goodbye (though of course it is still available in the app store). Simple!
There may be times when a class asks to borrow all ipads for whole class work. If the app they want is not showing, the teacher can access it from the app store, in the 'purchased' section (bottom of screen). All apps associated with the account can be found there.
