iPads Introduced

Last week we started using iPads in the classroom.  Each student has access to their own iPad to use for educational enrichment.  Here are some of the ways we used the iPads last week:

Math Fact Practice:  We have various apps to practice addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts.  A couple of the apps are designed for testing your reasoning abilities while using math facts.

Vocabulary:  Students are creating a math vocabulary book on their iPad.  We will add a new page to the book each time we learn a new vocabulary word.

Poetry Books:  A few students are creating a poetry book on their iPad with their original poems.  They are adding illustrations, photographs, and a sound recording of their reading of the poem.

FYI:  Hopefully we will be able to begin posting photos and other work from our iPads onto this blog in the near future.
