Room 30 gets iPads

Today was our first session with class iPads.  Firstly we watched a video that showed us some important 'kawa of care' instructions for working with our iPad.  These included:

• always use two hands when carrying our iPad - use the hug hold 
• do not stack the iPads more than 4 high
• always use the iPad on a safe surface
• do not leave your iPad anywhere as when you return it might not be there
• do not touch the 'tip' of our stylus and always store the stylus in an upright position
• always be in the right place and use the apps directed by our teacher
• always follow the instructions of our teacher when using the iPad

Some learners used the iPad for Reading Eggs during reading time, while others had an Explain Everything reading activity to complete.

After lunch we had a whole class lesson on how to use the tools of Explain Everything, including the pencil and rubber, imputing text and creating shapes.  We also learnt how to change colours and save our work onto our iPads.  We are definitely looking forward to doing more learning with our iPads over the coming days and weeks.
