I have spent a lot of time on the background set up of the minis - from the storage unit to the Acceptable Use policy to the organization of apps into folders. (All previously Blogged)
I recently added one more app folder (thanks for the idea Joan). The "Presentations" folder contains a variety of apps students may choose to access to creatively demonstrate understanding of a concept.
We are starting to branch away from ExplainEverything. It is, and will continue to be, an option but engagement was starting to wane...and then I introduced iMovie trailers. Familiar to some...cool for all. Can't wait to see the results next week.
Just today I had my daughter in grade 4 using Inkflow...the infamous Medieval Times Castle project. We used Inkflow to label photos of her castle taken from different angles. A task also possible in Word but it was definitely easier to use the iPad to, well, do everything (and collaborate on the couch).
