You have applications like Explain Everything, Screenchomp, EduCreations, Doceri, ShowMe and DoodleCast Pro, that can be used to show the students the lesson from your iPad over the air to the projector. I have looked at a couple of applications that are for presenting subject matter with the iPad. Pupils will also benefit from having iPads to use in school. It seems like this would be a very useful way of working that could only enhance classroom management. What about if it was possible for you to do the same presentation, but instead of being with your back to the classroom while writing, be at the back of the classroom and be able to see everything that is going on.
However interesting the subject matter, in every class there is always a couple of children at the back of the class, that are not interested or just slightly distracted.
When a teacher is writing on a blackboard is true to say that the ability to see out of the back of your head is a good skill to have. When I was in full-time teaching I had either a black board or white board and the writing tools to go with them and I was tied to the front of the class whenever using those tools. These whiteboard applications allow teachers to extend and enhance the teaching of subjects in a couple of other different ways. I have successfully used the iPad in the classroom for taking the class register, showing video clips and playing audio clips. I would suggest that it is a good idea that a teacher that wants to use the iPad in the classroom for teaching, as in with the students using them to use to enhance their learning, should first be using the iPad themselves.
The first question that needs to get an answer is, why and how would you use whiteboard applications ? Well, the iPad is making serious inroads into the classroom and that has to start with how the teacher is using the technology.
