== Welcome to my iPad Page! My students and I will be doing all kinds of exciting things this year using the iPads! This resource has opened all sorts of possibilities for my students. I have already seen them become excited about learning in a different way. I can't wait to see what they can accomplish! ==


 * == The students are using the iPads everyday in almost every subject! They start each morning writing a diary entry using the app __iDiary__. They then email me their entry. Each night, I read their emails and send a response. This has been a really neat way to communicate with the kids individually. ==


 * == During //Science and Social Studies//, the students are taking notes using their iPads using the app __Paperdesk__. This has proven to be a faster and neater way for them to accomplish this task. At the end of each chapter, the students make flashcards using the app __Flashcardlet__. With this app, they are able to study independently. I am then able to study with them and "star" the flashcards that they had difficulty with. They are then able to go back and study only the flashcards that were difficult for them. The students are also able to study by going on the website [|www.quizlet.com] where they can play games using the flashcards that I have created. During some of these games, they are actually competing against each other for time. This has increased their determination greatly! ==
 * == In //English// class, we have written various sentences in the app Paperdesk and then were able to circle and underline various parts of speech. I have emailed them a page from their textbook, had them open it in the __neu.annotate__ app and then they can write right on the page from their textbook! For most of these activities, the students are doing the same thing that we could have done on paper, but it so much more exciting on the iPad! ==
 * == The students have used various apps that I will list below in //Math// mainly for reinforcement. ==
 * == They have created a book using the app __Storybuddy__. The students wrote a story, added pictures, changed the font, and published it for others to see through email. ==
 * == __iBooks__ is a great resource for individuals with vision impairment. Regular text can be scanned, emailed, and open in iBooks and then made larger. ==

Check back to see what we are doing next month!
