I've been teaching for over 15 years now and have loved every minute of it. I always love being creative and combining as many subjects into themed learning adventures. I've uploaded plenty of the resources I have created over the years and I'm constantly developing new ones as I go.

Where did we begin? Setting the scene.
There are many examples of schools using 1:1 iPads, ChromeBooks etc, but I wanted our 1:1 project to be tailored specifically to our school. One of the main points to consider is - it really needs to be personalised; there is no one size fits all approach here. What our school requires from them will differ greatly from what other schools want out of them. There is no right or wrong way to implement them and the outcome will greatly influence how you proceed with other classes in your school.
My Year 4 classroom was the research class for this project for a term and a half and we have a firm plan for September on how we will transfer them to the next teacher. I'm confident that the children were making the most use out of the iPads in my Year 4 class and as Computing leader; I will need to ensure they keep that level of use in Year 5 and beyond. How will they cope at high school, if they don't have a 1:1 iPad scheme? An interesting thought to consider.
