iPad

The iPad is a new addition to the classroom. As the year has progressed, so has the use of the iPad. At this point there are many apps organized by discipline. There are language and storytelling, math, theme, and game folders. One app from each folder is pulled out onto the page. During work time, the child may choose one of the pulled apps. I can determine the activity that I want the children to practice. At play time, the children can use any of the apps. A sand timer helps the children with the sharing.

We have tried some fun activities with apps. Sock Puppets is a fun, free app that allows children to choose puppets and scenery and then record 30 seconds of dialogue.
