Here We Go

I am excited to begin our journey of learning with technology!  This blog is a reflection of our experiences in the classroom as we interact with our classroom iPad, apps, and websites.  About a month ago we were given an iPad to use in the classroom.  I felt like it was Christmas.  Our second grade students were just as excited.  The first thing we tried was using Reflector to project the math lesson on the screen.  We used the app Notability to write answers on the math page as the whole class watched.  I was able to walk around the classroom with the iPad and let students have the opportunity to show us how to complete the math problems as the class watched on the screen.  That day a shift took place in our classroom as the students became the teachers.  We are moving from a class with one teacher who teaches twenty students to one teacher leading the way as twenty students explore, experiment and demonstrate as they learn....one app at a time.  Can't wait to see what's ahead in this adventure!
