Rover
The main difference in Safari and Rover is that Rover is not a browser type website. It puts limits on websites that can and cannot be reached. Rover also does not have a URL bar like safari would.I like the security about Rover. The fact that a teacher can allow students to use the internet without a worry about what a student my stumble upon that may not be appropriate. Anything that is efficient at keeping students safe and material appropriate is great for teachers to use. I personally could not get rover to work properly on the iPad. I think I would have students use Safari in my classroom just because it would be similar to the internet and it is important to teach students how to use the internet and to use it responsibly. Most classrooms allow for some sort of teacher supervision over devices, so I would just supervise my students well enough to allow them to use a browser such as Safari.

You seem to have missed the point that Rover will do Flash sites that Safari cannot do. That is the main reason for Rover. Flash is less widely used, now, than was the case a few years ago. So, it is less of an issue.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise, nice work.
