Being a Kindergarten class, this fall we have been working on one of our main goals of simply being more familiar with the ipads. Some students know what they're doing but they're many who have little to no screen time at home and are not familiar with ipads. We spent time talking about what the different buttons on the ipads do so they are able to change to volume and manage on their own. We talked about online safety and what to do if you end up somewhere you're not supposed to be. Although our ipads are set-up to lock the screen somehow students could run into a previously opened page and end up getting more into something while trying to exit. After this we tried to open a few applications on our own and practiced taking pictures of different shapes around our classroom. This was an interesting task as again, some were very familiar and some were very new to it. Students who were newer to ipads were paired with more familiar students so they were able to critiques each others photos and fiddle with what needed to change, e.g. - hold the photo still, stand back, etc. We are continuing to make books together and read many that the other teachers in the project have made which has been very helpful. We are also using them to work on our French letters the sounds that they make and literacy through different applications.
