This is a really good article and has helped me Think about my next step focus for Term 4. Having a student in for 4 weeks will allow me to set up small groups and projects for these groups.
I will use
- poppet lite for reading and Kaupapa, displaying data to share on the blog and with the class.
- Animation with a group of focus box with high needs- to engage them, give a purpose for writing and sharing with the class.
- Voice thread to record themselves read and reflect on where to next for themselves and begin peer feedback
- Class video to our quadblogging classes
- Story kit for reluctant writers
- Toontastic and puppetpals for year 3 projects ( during swimming time)
We will use some of the ideas from posts about 1:30 ipad use in the classroom.
If you are looking at using ipads in the classroom, be sure to check out Challenge Based Learning which is kind of Apple's version of enquiry learning using technology. They have complete units of learning, probably targeted at older students, but you could certainly adapt it for younger.

ReplyDeletebut there is a heap of stuff online about it.
Thank you was wonderful to see someone had been reading our Journey. I have had a look at the site, a little bit too old but I can definitely adapt. I will load up anything we do based on this.
