I am very excited that I have had the opportunity to use an Ipad in my classroom. I have found many apps that have enhanced my lessons. In math, I have found several apps that have reinforced learning targets for my students. I have a student that is working on adding and subtracting and have several apps that focus on this. I have another student that is working with number recognition and he also has several apps to access to practice this skill. I have found that the Ipad also keeps the students engaged and on task better than any other activity.
I have experienced some frustration with the Ipad as well. We are suppose to have wireless internet in our school and I am not able to access it. This can create problems as some of my apps require internet connection. We will be having another training tomorrow during our inservice so I am planning to inquire about this.
I am excited to be able to explore more apps and to continue to integrate this piece of technology into my classroom.
Are your apps mostly free ones? Would you be willing to share the names of them?
ReplyDeleteYes Karen, all of my apps are free at this point. Our district is not allowing us to purchase apps at this time. I will bring my Ipad home and share a few of the ones that I really like. Thanks for asking!
