Well we have begun with a look at inquiry across the curriculum. This has made me rethink how the ipads are incorporated into this learning and the children owning the use of them for THEIR learning.
I have to plan in the ipad with what they will be used for, some sessions on how to video and take photos as well.
Some groups have used 'showme' in maths and it worked well more so with the lower groups than the higher ones.
Documenting our day and the amazing things we do is really important. Taking them through the picassa programme in small groups will allow them to manipulate photos taken by them to add to the blog and share.
Some of the programmes that we use on the computer are coming out with apps to support the mobile device like vocab city, spelling city. I have to look at how to access studyladder on here as well. The class are able to access this well on their own and because I can track the learning it works well.
I am going to focus on the chn just below standard that need a few gaps filled to reach standard and see how I can use the ipads to help in this way. To begin with I will guide the learning using a variety of applications like ibooks, book creator and show me.
This will fit in well with the inquiry across the curriculum and how I can help these chn through our school inquiry in maths.
An amazing account of your journey using the ipads. I am impressed with the way you have kept the use of them at the forefront of student learning. You have constantly sort out ways to engage students with them and I am looking forward to how students progress to recording each others learning and reflecting on their learning from this. Excititing times.
