Here are some of the cool things we are doing on our iPads:
Elisa is working on math facts with "Flash to Pass."
Job uses a Scrabble game to work on spelling.
Becca uses the "Doodle Buddy" program.
Ari takes notes (on an electronic post-it).
Carter plays Math Bingo to learn his math facts.
This week, we brainstormed some guidelines for iPad use. Here are some of the important things we came up with:
1. always hold the iPad with 2 hands when
standing or moving
2. put the iPad on your lap or the table
(never on the floor)
3. follow all teacher directions
4. soccer hands . . . means don't touch a friend's screen
5. keep the cart locked at all times
6. it's all about the learning
Here is a picture of the cart which is also our docking stations. This is how we recharge the iPads and download apps. Teacher's ONLY are responsible for plugging in the iPads to charge since the connectors are very fragile.
OUR IPADS ARE HERE!
