iPad in the classroom
Well I'm back after 6 weeks away on holiday in London!
It was so great to come back and walk into a classroom of Year 2/3s to find them working away independently on their iPads. The thing I love about this class is that after I have taught them a skill or new app on the iPad they continue to practice it on their own or with their teacher to reinforce what they have learnt or extend their learning by putting their own spin on it. I can definitely see a difference when I work in all the classes throughout the school: like anything, when a student has been exposed to something, then has had extra time spent on it - the results are very telling. I am blown away by the skill and ability of these young students and it is great when I get to spend a whole day with them instead of my normal 1 1/2 hour block.
Here are some photos of the students, voluntary working on the iPad before school. You can see they are using the following apps:
1. Puppet Pals
2. Drawing Pad
3. Chatterpix
