Teachers and kids love to integrate technology in their everyday learning. Last week, a group of 1st and 2nd grade students here at The Mann culminated their week of opinion writing in a fun way. Several students chose to write about who has been their favorite teacher (in their long educational career ;-). Then they used iPads--and an app called Chatterpix--to narrate, customize and animate their opinion.
We are so grateful for the availability of iPads and Chromebooks for our students to use in the classrooms. These devices are highly engaging for students--as we all know! There is no question in my mind that the integration of technology not only helps students overcome barriers in their learning, but can open pathways for creativity and initiative-taking.
Here is a link to the students' videos about their favorite teachers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFx8vHX9dpyEBKwf-DwZkNJ53an-boBW6. Enjoy!
