IPADS are coming to New Groningen this October! We are blessed to have a set of 30 IPADS rolling into NG per grades 3rd-5th! With 30 IPADS, each teacher can incorporate IPADS as a whole class, share with partners, or work in small groups for learning. These are awesome options to keep learning differentiated to meet our students' needs.
I also was fortunate to receive a Zeeland Education Foundation grant to install a Smart Board into our class this school year! I plan to incorporate it into daily lessons. Research shows students need to have teaching provided to them in multiple avenues and being able to use the Smart Board will provide another option to my classroom. I participated in a college class this summer learning all of the ins and outs of the this equipment and can't wait to get my feet wet!
*Students have been using my IPAD weekly for independent practice of math facts & spelling!
*Students have been recording themselves reading on the IPAD and reviewing it to learn about their reading (strengths, needs)
*Ask your child about the beginning of year scavenger hunt where we took notes, added video & pics!
*If you have access, below is a list of different IPAD apps you can explore and use at home...
