Welcome to Mrs. Hannum's iPad page...



**We are so excited in 5th grade to be bringing 21st center learning into the classroom with our iPad initiative. We are looking forward to doing projects and reinforcing learning with technology. ** =The students were so excited to receive our 7 classroom iPads towards the end of September, and they couldn't wait to explore! =

===September-November : The first thing we did once the ipads arrived was tryout all the apps that were downloaded. Each group had to find an app they had not used before and try it out. When time was up, each group presented the app and explained what its purpose was and if they felt it was educational and/or entertaining. The students continued to use the ipads in Science and Social Studies to research information for their projects on The Water Cycle and the 5 Regions of the United States. They also loved practicing their geography on the app, Stack the States!===

===Each day, technology is one of the centers students may be assigned to during their Language Arts block. At this center, they are given a choice of several apps that pertain to the skill we are working on. The app is usually a game that gives the students extra practice and reinforces the skills already taught in class. In addition, students have used the ipads to reinforce their math skills as well. They enjoy accessing thinkcentral.com and going on Carmen Sandiego where they can review the lesson taught that day and get extra practice or even take a quiz.===

===Most recently, some students used imovie to create a commercial for their end of the marking period book report. They presented it during their oral presentation and the students had a blast making them as well as watching. Now, all of my students are eager to create their own.===
