f.+Implementations

Our iPad Pilot Project is starting from September 2010 until June 2010. During this time, we will be launching the new pilot project to different classes across the school board. We will have 5 English schools and 5 French Immersion schools participating. Each school will include a primary class and a junior or intermediate class. At the end of the school year, we will join and evaluate the use of iPads in the classroom and determine if the project will grow to include more schools.
 * Implementation Plan:**
 * Task and time line:**

Each teacher participating in the pilot project will attend a workshop at the end of June 2010 to receive their iPads loaded with the primary and intermediate apps that will be used in the upcoming school year. The workshop will last 2 days and teachers will be provided with different lesson and activity ideas to use with their class iPads. This will give them the summer to get familiar with the iPad and to brainstorm activities.The teachers will also be acquaninted with the support blog iPads in the Classroom during this workshop so they can start using it immediately as they learn to explore their iPad through the summer. At this time, they will also be provided with training session dates from September to June (0.5 days every other month) with the tasks that will be covered at each session. Each teacher participating will be expected to share their successes and challenges with colleagues across the school board. The project coordinator will also collect assignments/activities provided by teachers to share with others (one every other month). This will give other teachers access to different ideas. The blog will be linked to our school board giving teachers access to each other for support and ideas. The project coordinator and school board computer technician will also be helping in the blog.
