In regards to the use of I-Pads in the classroom, as a class we sat down and negotiated the rules and expectations that would be enforced when using the I-Pads whether it be playing games or taking photos for Seesaw. 

​

We watched a video about how to take care of an I-Pad then we discussed our own Kindy Gold expectations as to what it would look like when we used the I-Pads. We wrote these expectations down and kept them near the I-Pads so that the visual reminder helped the children remember each of the rules. These rules included: 

• Clean our I-Pads if they are dirty

• Don't put the I-Pad on the ground

• Only playing the game(s) agreed on. 

• Gentle hands when walking around with and using the I-Pad

​​

By deciding on the rules together and having agreed expectations, the students begin to take responsibility for their learning and govern the I-Pad use on their own without too much interference.
