The classes are slowly diverging in their use of Explain Everything. The Year 1's continue to progress adding on one new tool at a time. This week it's the 'pencil', choosing a colour and writing a simple sentence under a photo they had taken. All Year 2's and the Year 2 / 3 mix have focussed on cropping their photo, locking it down and typing their story followed by a voice recording. The Year 2 / 3 mix have also been pushed further during the week by their teacher and are learning how to write in a Doc and publish on their Blog. After this week all the classes are ready to add text to any of their creations by using either the stylus or keyboard. I've been pushing the need to practise, practise, practise!!
It will help not only the learners but also the teachers be more adept and faster at using Explain Everything. A win win situation!
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.
