AirDrop Sharing


The following information is from CISD Director of Instructional Technology, Nancy Garvey.


Recently, the Digital Learning Coaches reviewed the instructional relevance of enabling the Airdrop feature on shared iPads and determined that the feature continues to be valid in an educational setting. AirDrop allows Macbooks and iOS devices to share files wirelessly via bluetooth.
Listed below are some ways that you may consider using Airdrop in your classroom:
  • Airdropping a website from one iPad to another, which is great if they want to bookmark to read later
  • Quickly collect digital assignments (Notability notes, products created with other iOS apps)
  • Share learner in-progress work on a projector/presentation station
  • Educators can send documents, assignment details, presentations to learners
  • Return feedback in the form of notes to learners
  • Facilitate guided or small group instruction and share information between educators and learners
  • Send an image or creative meme to celebrate or recognize positive behavior.
One best practice to consider using with Airdrop is disabling the ability to receive items via Airdrop until you or your learners are ready. In order to customize Airdrop preferences, launch Settings > General > Airdrop. The screenshot below shows an image of the menu of preferences.
