I completely understand...Thanks for the kind words! I completely understand Ness. I've been teaching for 16 years and this technology makes me feel like a first year teacher. I still have so much to learn. I am very lucky that I teach in a tech 1:1 school. That means each of my students have their own iPad. I do some group lessons on the iPad, but I also use the iPad to reinforce skills. When kids finish their work early, instead of sending them to get a work bucket or book, they often get the opportunity to choose an app. If it's math time, and they finish early, I will tell them to choose an app in their math folder. They love having some choice and I love that they are busy working hard and practicing those facts that are so hard for them. For some of my students, I do "lock" them into an app so they cannot do other things. We all have those kids who do their own thing as soon as we get busy helping other kids. I did a blog post about it. Just search at the top, "How to outsmart your kids" and it should pop up. Good luck!One Room Schoolhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04220416947705752421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764006739531924825.post-66586235838094626212014-11-16T03:40:18.411-05:002014-11-16T03:40:18.411-05:00I'm loving all these app reviews. Just curious...I'm loving all these app reviews. Just curious how you actually use iPads in your classroom? We recently got 3 iPads per class at our school, and I'm just figuring our ways to use them effectively. The app ideas are great, but what times do you use them? Are the kids supervised, or are they practicing skills while you work with other kids? It's a whole new type of teaching-and I'm only young!! Thanks!
