Ipads in Action

Our class is very fortunate to have access to the ipad cart for a whole day every week.  On our class ipad day, we try to engage in learning opportunities that allow us to use this fabulous technology.  As the year progresses, we will learn to use different apps to show our thinking, find information and practice important skills from various subject areas (ie. math games, word games).  This week we enjoyed using the ipads to help us find out specific information about insects.  We learned how to find a book on 'Epic' and researched what different insects eat, where they live and other interesting facts.  We also played a great addition game on the ipads in Math.  We are each assigned a specific numbered ipad so that we can learn to be responsible for it.  We learned how to put our ipads into the cart so they can be charged properly for the next group.  We are looking forward to our next ipad day.  We feel so lucky!
