She recently purchased an iPad Pro and an Apple Pencil for her music. My daughter is a musician and she uses the forScore app for her piano music ( read more about her initial iPad Pro for Pianists review).

Using the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil with Apple TV However, after a day of trying to use it in my Algebra class, I quickly realized that it was still enough off that it wasn’t very helpful. One day after school my kids helped try to calibrate it, and we thought we had it working. This means that when you write, what you are writing shows up an inch or more away from where you actually wrote it on the board. The major problem with the board was that it wouldn’t calibrate. After all, we’d entered a graphing unit in one of my classes and this technology would make things A LOT easier for teaching. My own kids (grades 9 and 6) promised they’d help me learn to use the Smartboard as soon as it was up and running.Īs the weeks went on, I got my teaching sea legs back and was eager to start using the Smartboard. Because they weren’t used to being taught using the Smartboard, this would be one area that I would have some built-in time to get up to speed. Did I say lucky? Yes! This is how I felt as I started the job of teaching Algebra and Math 8 students in late October. Luckily the classroom I entered had a broken Smartboard.
I knew the learning curve would be steep when I stepped back into the classroom, but I was ready for the challenge. I have been out of the classroom for over a decade, and during those years curriculum and technology have changed a great deal. This fall I took a long-term substitute job in my kids’ school district. She used a combination of apps with the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, and shares her story here. This is a guest post from my wife Amy, who used an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil in the classroom with great success.
