I like this! It’s good way to show people how to say stuff. And it’s good thing for people to try together, like people who only want boys and girls to use very big, messy things.

Also, there is room for different things for big guys and girls to use, like “ask” or “words,” not “ant” or “bean.” Try what does good!!

I don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier, but as soon as it came up during the workshop I was like, “YES!” I should have been doing that all along! I wonder how many other choices relating to technology/strategy implementation are just assumptions or “this is how I’ve always done it” sort of mistakes I’m making. I guess this is why we’re always learning!

It does make sense to do this to prevent a mistaken communication from happening.

It is a district policy rather than an Apple policy that is the roadblock. Our system hasn’t officially endorsed the use of iOS devices at a district level. Individual schools might be buying and using them, but they are not “supported” by our Instructional Technology Department. On our AT team, we’ve only put them out for individual students. Something like 700 apps come out in the App store per day (http://148apps.biz/app-store-metrics/), and that’s just the apps, let alone the content within apps and updates to apps. I might be preaching to the choir here, but one of the benefits of the device is that new content comes out all the time. Maybe I’m naive or not seeing an alternative point of view, but I’d rather see institutions trust teachers to make decisions about the content than control what content they can use. Every institution has an acceptable use policy. This could be used to guide the teachers about content that could go on the devices.
I’m certain you are correct that there are other schools that have implemented this model. I’d be curious if this model is the most pervasive or not. My hope is that a more open model is the trend instead.

To help solve your more immediate problem (how do I get Dragonfly, Dragonfly from Flying Books to my students?), I hear a holiday is coming up where people give and receive gifts! Add “iPad” to your wish list. Then you can get it and bring it into school with Dragonfly, Dragonfly on it!

They don’t allow me to install anything and cannot go to the settings app and use my own personal account, but the restrictions for App Store are turned on so I couldn’t even get to the APp store and look for apps that I have purchased personally. Maybe it’s just my district, but I believe that many districts have this type of policy in place so that teachers don’t put personal apps on the devices.
