Students Kyle Huggenberger (left) and Cameron Meter use iPads in an education class.<\/p><\/div>\n

At Morningside College, it is\u00a0 important to provide students with access to the technology that they will use\u00a0 in their careers. The iPad has become an important tool in both the workplace\u00a0 and the classroom. Three Morningside professors have implemented the use of iPads\u00a0 in their teaching agendas with positive results.<\/p>\n

Pam Mickelson, professor of\u00a0 business administration, uses iPads in her market research class, where she\u00a0 has found them to be a convenient and useful marketing tool. Students can use\u00a0 their iPads to record interviews, make podcasts, take pictures and notes, and\u00a0 much more. The iPads sync up to Apple\u2019s Macbook computers so students can\u00a0 easily transfer data. She has found that presentations done with iPads are\u00a0 more slick and professional, a definite benefit for business students. This\u00a0 semester, her students were also able to put together an iBook for a client\u00a0 with the results of their research.<\/p>\n

Susie Lubbers, assistant professor\u00a0 of education, wanted the iPads so her secondary education students could move\u00a0 forward in their teaching through the use of technology, especially since\u00a0 technology has become more important for K-12 education in the last few years.\u00a0 Her students use them as a teaching tool for active student participation in\u00a0 the classroom. Lubbers\u2019 students also use their iPads to design lesson plans\u00a0 incorporating the device and to find content-specific applications that can\u00a0 further student engagement.<\/p>\n

Jill Wilson, assistant professor of\u00a0 music, uses iPads in her music education seminar and practicum for\u00a0 elementary school. She has found that there are many applications that can be\u00a0 used to engage young music students. Wilson said, \u201cI want our pre-service\u00a0 teachers to gain confidence in using this technology and have a store of ideas\u00a0 they can use when they go out into the schools in the near future.\u201d The iPads\u00a0 are also used for peer teaching experiences and recording themselves in action\u00a0 while at practicums. \u201cThe possibilities are endless!\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n

Student Beth Fish was pleased with\u00a0 her experience with the iPad in her music education class at Morningside. She includes\u00a0 a multitude of applications into her lesson plans so she can assess her\u00a0 students while they are entertained. Fish said, \u201cI believe that I will continue\u00a0 to use my iPad while teaching in the future.”<\/p>\n
