I hope to incorporate some of your ideas into my animal research unit next year. If Grade 1s can do it, Grade 2s definitely can. Of course, my students and I will have a lot to learn about using the technology first!<br />TammyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-14488853165078147362013-05-12T13:35:29.106-07:002013-05-12T13:35:29.106-07:00With just one iPad you may want to group the stude...With just one iPad you may want to group the students up and provide each group with a tide to create their pages. The may want to create non digital images, and pre write their sentences so when they get their turn on the iPad it can just be a quick typing in of information (and of course deciding on page colour/font etc) and then taking photos of their draw images then uploading those. Send those books to iBooks, and then take screenshot and send those to Explain everything, or educreations, iMovie. The trick with just one iPad is that you'll need to do the thinking away from the iPad so that it is best utilized. The key is to have the iPad used by a variety of people over the span of your project. Prior to about a year ago I too only had one iPad in my classroom, and I may be there again at the completion of this year. Only time will tell.

I am worried about the use of one 1pad in the classroom - any suggestions most welcomed.<br /><br />Tamatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18441843332067809250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-42879451636808585832013-05-12T09:13:47.657-07:002013-05-12T09:13:47.657-07:00The books also seem to look different depending on...The books also seem to look different depending on where you view them. On my iPad they are quite small but can be stretched to full screen size, but on my laptop they are much bigger. Hmm, interesting I say, interesting and yes I agree still the youtube maybe a better way for me to showcase them here on this blog (and perhaps our class blog too). Hmm. Thanks Kristen for your suggestions. It's always great to learn with and from you. :-)K Lirenmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058037226665551154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-14011471723585645622013-05-12T09:06:20.859-07:002013-05-12T09:06:20.859-07:00If you click on any of the videos you can watch th...If you click on any of the videos you can watch them full screen size but you are correct sending them to youtube could be a better option for my professional blog. I love that my students can save them to the camera roll for their kidblogs because it is something they do independently. I need to think about visiting each of their iPads, or saving their movies into dropbox, to send them up to my class YouTube account. Thanks for the suggestions. As for sharing out with your class and providing a feedback piece that sounds like a great idea. While the school year is racing past, we'll figure it out I'm sure! :-)K Lirenmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16058037226665551154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-81414542936541145512013-05-12T08:52:00.039-07:002013-05-12T08:52:00.039-07:00Great Post Karen, I would love to do some sharing ...Great Post Karen, I would love to do some sharing between our classes. I will have to think about how that would look like. Maybe some a feedback piece. It's amazing what our little ones can do! A suggestion.... if you upload them to youtube then embed them into your blog, would you be able to see more of the book? It's a shame that you can't see your little peoples' entire books on your blogpost.Mrs. Wideenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00734976311375754429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730514995199630178.post-35271614365824920302013-05-11T08:41:59.085-07:002013-05-11T08:41:59.085-07:00Fantastic.

Nice job describing your workflow. I could envision our whole building finding parts of this process to apply to student learning.
