iPads in our Class Rooms<br />
Last week I presented a workshop to our Teacher Aides on using our iPads. We went through the<br />
general operation of iPads and introduced some of our apps that have been installed. Teacher Aides<br />
may, from time to time, work with small groups or be involved in one on one learning using the<br />
iPads. They were very excited to see the potential that iPads can have on student learning and<br />
achievement. This week I a m presenting a workshop to our Teachers. I look forward to being able<br />
to share the valuable and rich learning experiences that are happening in our classrooms using the<br />
iPads.<br />
ICT – 2D<br />
This year in 2D, we have been using technology in the classroom through a range o f mediums.<br />
Interactive whiteboard activities are used to enhance the learning experience, while the classroom<br />
iPad is also used to complement student learning, specifically during maths and literacy based<br />
activities.<br />
This term in Media, we have been investigating how advertising can target certain audiences<br />
through catchy titles, bright colours, appealing pictures and interesting facts. In conjunction with our<br />
Health unit, where we have been investigating the 5 food groups, the children have used PowerPoint<br />
to create their own healthy food advertisement. The children learnt how to insert text, change the<br />
background colour, use the Google search engine to search for a picture and finally copy and paste<br />
the chosen picture into the PowerPoint. It was amazing how quickly the children were able to pick<br />
up these tasks and then proceed to help teach children around them!<br />
Some of the fabulous work we produced is pictured below.
