My place to write down reflections, helpful links, readings etc to guide me through my iPad inquiry.

I know for a fact that my class are more motivated by using the ipads and ipods. I have tried to stay away from saying "play that app" but to encourage them to "create" something linked to learning.
My students favourite apps are Puppetpals, blogger and wordfoto. Wordfoto was the craze but I guess that's faded because I have taught them how to use the app, they practice and now they can store that knowledge away until they choose to use that app to demonstrate their learning.
Hi Marcelle
ReplyDeleteI looked into the app "Bluster" and wonder if you've had a chance to trial it yet? If not, we could use it for ESOL students.

Hi Myra
DeleteYes, we have the app "Bluster" on the ipads already! Feel free to borrow the ipad and check it out!
