http://mipadclass.blogspot.com/2014/03/stick-around-and-hangout-with-tony.html
Sunday, March 16, 2014. Stick Around" and hangout with Tony Vincent! Thanks to the one and only Brent Catlett (@catlett1), our class was given the amazing opportunity to hangout with Tony Vincent (@tonyvincent), creator of the app, Stick Around. There were several classrooms hanging out across the district as well. Our 4th graders were able to ask Tony questions about his app. Tony even added student suggestions to his list! Cole asking Tony Vincent, "How did you create StickAround? I have created puzzle...

miPad Classroom: September 2015
http://mipadclass.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 14, 2015. This year I am really pushing the question, "Who Can? I ask this question A LOT and students' hands shoot up all over the classroom. They are eager to show that they are learning how to use the app. This question, although simple, has been a powerful tool when teaching my students how to use a new app. My students are paying close attention as to how each app works. My most recent focus has been on the app, Stick Around. Who can show the class how to add text? We're Using iPad...

miPad Classroom: April 2014
http://mipadclass.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 8, 2014. What does a gallery walk look like with iPads and students? Did you see that project? You have to see this cool thing they added! Those are just some of the comments I have heard during our gallery walks. Students becoming teachers and being inspired by those around them as well as new ideas and collaboration! How is their work assessed? It seemed as if students were just doing work to get it done and move onto the next assignment (almost going through the motions). We're Using iP...

miPad Classroom: Celebration of Learning!
http://mipadclass.blogspot.com/2014/03/celebration-of-learning.html
Sunday, March 23, 2014. Celebration of Learning Room. In the past I have conducted what I thought was a student-led conference, but after this year I realized what it truly looks like when students lead a conference! Having a set of iPads has given my students more choice and the power to create and demonstrate what they know and understand in multiple ways. Students showed their Keynote journals. And the Stick Around Rocks and Mineral. Sort puzzle they create. We had 5 students make a "how to". After co...

miPad Classroom: January 2015
http://mipadclass.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 25, 2015. No Time, No Problem! This year was a year of firsts for me, even though I have been teaching for eight years! This was my first year starting the year off with iPads. My previous year, I received the iPads in January, so the kids were already using them with Sharae Geldes. We were able to dive right in and start using the iPads (no pre-teaching required). So it was quite a shock, but also great learning/teaching experience starting from scratch this year. Causes of the Civil War.

Boycetown iPad Class: March 2014
http://boycetownipadclass.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
A 5th grade teacher wading her way through 1:1 iPad classroom, after 2 decades of teaching. Sunday, March 23, 2014. 3 Cheers for EDCAMP! Have you ever been to a conference that you can say you found 100% of it to be applicable to you? How about one where the presenters were everyday teachers who just wanted to share what they were doing that was successful? How about a conference that is planned on the spot, instantaneously? One that you don't even know what it is going to offer until you get there?

Boycetown iPad Class: NO Rules
http://boycetownipadclass.blogspot.com/2015/04/no-rules.html
A 5th grade teacher wading her way through 1:1 iPad classroom, after 2 decades of teaching. Thursday, April 30, 2015. I moderated a wonderful spark chat this morning #BFC530. The topic was based on a video about a school in New Zealand. It takes a bit of time to watch, but presses hard at the boundaries that adults have towards our kids and their play. This principal has taken the risk research and pushed the boundaries to an extreme that makes many uncomfortable. But isn't that where change happens?

Boycetown iPad Class: June 2015
http://boycetownipadclass.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
A 5th grade teacher wading her way through 1:1 iPad classroom, after 2 decades of teaching. Monday, June 8, 2015. What is the big deal about Twitter? I hear this question often when I am talking about my favorite chat #bfc530 or any of the other chats I pop in and out of during the week. It is difficult to explain the power of Twitter to those who are closed off to this particular brand of social media. 1 Twitter is just a "lipstick and hair do" social media. And then I asked them to. It is your love pla...

Boycetown iPad Class: October 2016

A 5th grade teacher wading her way through 1:1 iPad classroom, after 2 decades of teaching. Thursday, October 27, 2016. Success and Failure.it's just the beginning! This has been life changing in my classroom. This has built my classroom as a community. They are so much more supportive and encouraging of each other. They have really mastered how to work together. They look frustration and failure in the face and they know how to handle it.and it makes successes so much sweeter. A friend helps out. Waterm...
