The Race

Interesting....
fits with my current thinking that there needs to be more learning through play...discovery learning. Thanks Greg...nice to see you on the blog again :-)

ICT lead teachers met today...I have just been checking out some of the links I was sent as a colleague found them today. I love my iPad and recently have been exploring it's use with my students in class, not for note taking, book reading etc but students using it - we have had success with puppet pals and also using it to put up a puppet performance on the activboard.

  This site has heaps of information, suggestions and motivation

here's an article from Interface

Reading this and watching the video...I can see 3 of my students benefitting from being able to use the iPad for inputting their writing and it's so true that the simplicity of typing on the viewing screen could make it easier for students (they don't have to look from the keyboard to the screen to check that what is on there is what they intended).

There's heaps more to wade through but loving the possibilities.  Fingers Crossed the Year 1's can have some iPads to use soon :-)

flowers are red green leaves are green...or are they

What is it that excites the kids you teach to want to learn?

What ignites their passions?

How do you provoke their learning?

There are so many colours...
Why box them in?
