New Focus

5 Critical Mistakes Schools Make with Ipads

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.
