In language arts the students are learning about spring. Today they explored spring by beginning their stories with the book creator app.
Gr. one's took a picture of spring or something meaningful in their classroom. They then imported the picture into book creator app, added text and added their voice. In no time these six year olds were determining their best read and deleting recordings that weren't up to their standards. They were creating wonderfully imaginative spring scenes including having their stuffies create a Don Cherry, Ron Maclean type hockey chatter on how the Canucks will win.
Mrs. Rhodes and her students are loving the iPads. She said "It's a perfect example of how we all learn from each other, with students showing students, teachers showing and being shown techniques and everyone learning through collaboration." Mrs. Rhodes says the skills the students are becoming so adept at include framing pictures, choosing background, importing pictures, writing text on the keyboard, recording and playing back their voice. They are using critical thinking skills while having a lot of fun.
Enjoy their work...be sure to read their scripts.
