Great day of PD today. Some thoughts from NAMLE PDI and today. We need to get more access to technology for our students. What would you think of getting iPods in the classroom? The cost of the iPod touch would be a little less. Would teachers and students be able to use iPods? Also, October 23rd is looking like the release date for the iPad mini. The price of these will likely be around $100 less than the iPad. What are your thoughts on iPods and iPad minis?

ReplyDeleteI know the topic this week is technology and the use of Ipads in the classroom, so I thought I would add my own experience using Evernote. This application works great for recording running records and reading fluency. I have worked with some students on reading fluency and this program allowed me to record their oral reading, ask a few comprehension questions when done, and then send this to their homeroom teacher. This could also serve as a bridge between school and home, sending this to parents so they can hear their child reading.
ReplyDeleteI have also used this when taking notes in a workshop or meeting and the program allows you to search through your notes according to keywords or the location you were in while taking notes. Great way to organize as opposed to various notebooks for different purposes. Has anyone else tried Evernote and if so, what has your experience been like?
