Some iPad Management Tips

Some iPad Management Tips
We have FINALLY gotten cases for our iPad 2s! Hooray! In honor of these new accessories, I wanted to share some quick iPad management tips with everyone: 1 - Color code your iPad cases for easy 1:1 access We have 5 students at each table and have assigned each seat a color. 2- Create desktop backgrounds to show numeration The cases cover the backs - where we originally had numerated stickers showing which iPad was which. I did it this way - rather than creating the image on the iPad - for two reasons. 3 - Create shortcuts to frequently visited sites (Study Island, Class Google Site, etc) Open your iPad's Safari app and type in the URL of the site that you'd like to visit. 4 - Create differentiated folders for apps Group your apps into folders based on level. 5 - Try "Send to Dropbox" Instead of flooding your inbox with student work emails every day, try Send to Dropbox, a site that allows your students to send to a generated address which dumps files into your dropbox folder.

10 Things You Never Knew You Could Do On Your iPad — Apple News, Tips and Reviews FLYING Egg Carton Helicopter! - How Wee Learn We store up our cardboard egg cartons during the winter to use in the spring for starting our seeds for our garden. However, this year we were given some little peat pots from a friend. Therefore, we have quite a few extra egg cartons lying around. There is a neat and very simple Science activity for kids that shows (in a very simplified version) how a helicopter propeller spins. With egg cartons on the brain, it didn’t take me long to realize that two egg holders stuck together would look an awful lot like a helicopter …. and so … we did! To make an Egg Carton Helicopter First of all, make a paper helicopter, just like the one outlined above. Next, we painted and decorated to cardboard egg carton cups. Finally, I put the tail of the paper helicopter through one egg carton cup, and then through the second, creating a helicopter-ish (sort of … kind of) shape. The trick with this egg carton helicopter is figuring out the size of paper helicopter you need for the weight of the egg carton.

iPads in Guided Reading Before a class set of iPads I was differentiating my literacy centers for guided reading. Here were some of literacy centers and how I differentiated them: 1. Word Study--At the beginning of the year, it is beginning sounds. As the year progresses it is ending sounds, short vowel sounds, blends, digraphs, long vowels, irregular verbs. The three students that come to this center listen to their individual tape player and complete their work. I made copies of the CD's or tapes so I would not use my originals in tape decks (so little hands would not ruin the tape by pushing record). Now, I use iPads during guided reading. Here are some of the apps I use. I am working on incorporating Raz-kids where the students will also be assigned leveled books based on their guided reading.
