The class is presented with a piece of paper with a photo of a patch of grass.  Conversation is created by suggestions as to what may live in their or on it.

With a simple hover of the iPad an animal magically pops out and appears!  The kids cant quite believe their eyes, some gasp, others look on spell bound while others just have to reach out and touch to see if they can feel it.



We go through many animals and have a look at different angles and how we can manage the climate and make it snow for our lion or rain for our ladybug!  Capturing each stage with the camera.

Lions roar, butterflies hover about, a tarantula crawls up my arm, ants busily come in and out of a hole at the top of the page.  There is a big variety and range of animals to choose from - too much to be able to contain in my 1 1/2hr lesson.

Now its time for the kids to have a turn.  Again the classroom is alive with excitement as the kids discover new animals and experience with how they can make the animals move about.

After a bit of time experimenting the class comes back together to share their favourite animals through the photos they took.

iPad in the classroom

Our school has started the journey of using iPads in the classroom.  I have the awesome role of leading this journey, taking students and teachers on an amazing digital learning path.
I will include our adventures and share our experiences.
School Aim:
We are starting at the basics and are wanting the students to become familiar

the iPad to its maximum potential and would like our students to understand and be able to:
use the iPad camera to:

• Take quality photos, using focus and zoom
• Edit their photos to enhance, make changes and improvements
• Keep a record of their work and progress

use the ipad video to:

• record themselves and others
• pan
• produce movies (see iMovie plan)

honing their skills on the above sets them up for lots of the apps I will be introducing and also reinforces techniques such as using fine (finger) motor skills- pinching, swiping, sweeping etc.

1. Introduction to IPad- The Basic

Lesson Objective: students will learn how to use and protect the iPad in their classroom to optimize learning


2. IPad introduction:  use the camera and video

Lesson Objective: students will

 go on a scavenger hunt to locate certain listed items to capture on camera

edit their photos to enhance, change or improve them

 use the camera app to capture emotion and will connect the emotion to adjectives in their descriptive writing.

 use the camera/video to interview someone.

After completing the lesson above the students will be issued with

an iPad citizenship certificate- for mastering the basic skills

an iPad camera licence- once they become competent in using the camera
