This week, we began using iPads in the Media Center. Students in kindergarten and first grade learned the rules of iPads, followed by using an app called PicWall. We had so much fun!
Here are the rules:
1. Always use two hands.
2. Make sure your hands are clean and dry.
3. Only use the apps that the teacher tells you to use.
4. Make sure to stay seated while using an iPad. (We broke this rule already, on purpose!)
5. Raise your hand if you need help.
6. Share with your friends.
We are lucky enough to have 10 iPads for use in the Media Center, but we do not have enough for each student to work on one, so we need to be able to share. It's been so much fun learning how to use them, what our technology standards are, and sharing.
In 2nd grade we worked on the 5W's; who? what? when? where? why? We read a story and then read some Shel Silverstein poems so that the students could answer the 5W questions. They did a terrific job.
Due to Cogat Testing, this week has been shortened somewhat. The next two weeks will be the same, although the Media Center will be open for checkouts during the ITBS. Good luck!
