In 2015 Pt England School is implementing digital learning environments in years 1-3 enabling every child to learn across the curriculum using a personal iPad. My name is Michelle George and I will be facilitating the implementation within each classroom. My Blog will be following this adventure and sharing how our Learn, Create, Share pedagogy is further transformed into a sustainable, co-creative and highly innovative practice in our junior school.

Caterpillars and Butterflys
Room 24 had the opportunity to take photos of a naked swan plant hosting a number of starving caterpillars. It was one of those teaching moments that can't be let go. The children had to take a photo up close, crop it, lock it down and then use the pencil tool. We used the stylus during this time to create the next stages of the life cycle with a focus on using the right sized tip on the pencil tool and also the correct colours. The Apple Tv enabled us to flick back and forward to images of a chrysalis and a fully formed monarch butterfly. This helped the children with not only the shape but also the colour and designs required. We shared on the Apple Tv at the end of the class.
