1) After watching the videos/tutorials, list two to three things you learned about the device(s) that will be in your classroom this fall.
We enjoyed the Ipod touch and I pads last year a lot. The kids practice a lot of skills with them math more than anything. i think just the technology part is good by itself and then you add content and is a double winning situation. The apps are super kid friendly and some of them are excellent for my Dual language kiddos. The netbooks were excellent for them to practice jiji math, watch brainpop jr, tumblebooks, discovery, etc. Of course, after the second semester last year almost all of them knew the passwords for all the websites.
2) How do you plan to manage the device(s) in your classroom? Do you have ideas/suggestions that others may find useful?
I'm huge on routines and in having classroom jobs, so I will post a technology job to solve problems. I believe that like in everything in a classroom if you establish routines and expectations starting on Meet the teacher, you can give the kids anything you want and they will leave up to your expectations.
