After a much awaited "iPatience", the last two Kindergartens at Bridge Point received their 1:1 iPads. Our Kinders were using a shared iPad model for some time prior to this event, however, they were way excited to get them truly personalized. We worked with Ms. King and Ms. Skonieczny's classes on April 3rd to FINALLY bring L.E.A.P into their classrooms. We had already covered the basic gestures, iPad parts and how to open and close apps. Since these two classes were so very advanced, we added a few extra lessons for this rollout. For these two classes we added how to search for apps so they can get focused for the lesson much faster (and it's a great way to practice sounding out words!). And because these two classes were already masters at uploading files through iFiles to our student shared servers, we taught them how to RENAME files in iFiles too! A simple LONG PRESS or a PRESS and HOLD on the file in iFiles will give you a menu that includes renaming files. WAY TO GO KINDERGARTNERS! Of course these Kinders were raring to go and they dove right into a science lesson using Popplet. Applying the Kindergarten Science TEK Matter is described in terms of its physical properties, including relative size and mass, shape, color, and texture, Kinders took a picture of a rock and created a Popplet that described the physical properties of their rock. Sure beats making 22 AIMS printed packets!! This iPad lesson really "ROCKS"!
