** Welcome to Miss Reilly's Class iPad page! **

I am so excited to start learning more about the iPad with the students. The students are so eager to begin using them. This page will be a valuable resource for students, parents/guardians, teachers and administrators. It will let you know what we are doing with our iPads.

September, October and November :

During the first two months of school, the students were introduced to the iPad, how it works, when to use it, how to use it properly, etc. Once the students were comfortable with the iPad, we started using them in centers ( Language Arts & Math).

Mrs Bestwick came into our room and taught us about google docs. We learned how to create documents and share them. We had fun with her! Also, we learned how to use google docs on the iPads.

December

Students used the iPads in December to research a country and learn about how they celebrate Christmas. We found that not all countries are the same as the USA. Also, the students became more familiar with the search engine Mobicip. . We learned how to search more easily and become more familiar with typing on the iPad.

January

In January students are going to be using the iPads in science and social studies. We are going to be using the photo card app and create a postcard on both a planet and Princeton university. We also are going to start researching ideas for our science KIC field trip in March!

iPads that are used in the classroom:

Toontastic: This app the students LOVE. They create a short video using characters, setting, and their own voice! I use this app in the Techonology Center then have students share their video with others. It makes the students visualize and think "out side of the box". Students are always trying to top one anothers videos.

Rocket Math: The students LOVE this app. This is a reinforcement app that helps students with their daily math facts.
