Student Learning Emphasizing iPad as a Learning Tool

As our district has a staff inservice to discuss/collaborate/move forward with student learning, I was asked to provide ideas that utilize the iPad.

Icebreaker Ideas:

• Have participants draw a self portrait in a certain time frame using
• Explain Everything
• Brushes 3
• Whiteboard
• Take a selfie and decorate it, share with group
• Have participants describe themselves using
• Chatterpix (take a picture of themselves or anything that they can put voice to)
• Have participants create a three image story that describes a joy in their life using
• PicCollage
• Play a "Game of Phones" or "Game of Chromes
• Use already made cards
• Create your own
• Participants use Smartphone or iPad

List of Creation Apps:

• Explain Everything
• Haiku Deck

Workflow apps are numerous, but some are better than others

• Google Drive is the best app for uploading images or documents to share with others
• Any creation app that can produce something, can be uploaded to Google Drive
• Be sure to save to the camera roll
• All Google apps for the iPad
