Internet Tools for Teaching
EDIM 514
I consider myself to be pretty lucky to be a part of my school district's 1:1 initiative. My students have their own iPad minis which they will use throughout the school year to enhance their learning. I don't load the iPads with games, rather, I look for apps that can be used to create and innovate, that are user friendly and that have share-ability features. ChatterKid Pix is one of those apps! If you haven't played around with this app...do it! It's pretty fun. But more importantly, it promotes creativity. And best yet...its free! So, we had a little time on Thursday to experiment with this new tool. See, I don't like to tell kids how to use an app the first time through. I find they learn better when they experiment with the app themselves, and share out with their friends. Yes, they all had their own devices and they were all engaged in the app, but they were also incredibly social and collaborative! I think technology really can bring out the best in learning and leadership!
