Have you ever used an iPad? What do you think we might do with iPads this year? 3. Show the video clip "iPad Rules and Expectations" from the YouTube link. 4. Put students into 7 groups. Assign each group one of the rules/expectations to model for the class. 5. After practicing in their groups, have student's model their assigned rule/expectation for the rest of the class. 6.

Stress the importance that although the iPad is a useful tool that will be used for school, it is important to power it down and take a break from technology.

Strategies for Diverse Learners

For the high ability learner: create a story that compares and contrasts 2 characters that follow/do not follow the proper rules and expectations of using iPads. Struggling/Special Need Students: pair them up with a partner to practice following the rules/expectations and verbally repeat them as they practice.

Extensions
