Designing Technology Posters in Mrs. Allen's Class

Flap down, wings on.

Walk with 2 hands and arms.

Count for friends.

Finding the Camera app with device search.

Posters on Pic Collage app.
The Year 1 and 2 students in Mrs Allen's class learned to use the technology they use at Creaney PS in a safe and helpful way. After creating class guidelines for using iPads in the classroom the class learned how to take photos with the camera app and take photos with their friends to create a poster showing the guidelines for other students in the school. The students learned that by having the 'flap-down, wings on', counting down for their friends to be ready and using device search to find the Camera app they can take good quality pictures, quickly. The class will now look at heading/body text and colour choices for their posters using Pic Collage app.

In pairs, the class learned to type their key questions and then record their responses using the audio recorder. Also, the students learned to edit their responses and string them together in one recording to match their response to the written question, thus considering the viewer of their work. Further, the students learned to use the drawing tools to draw what a shadow could look like based on the discussions they had with their partners and the class while recording their answers to their key questions. Next the class will draw the same shadow example using the shapes tool to help ensure their diagram is a model labelled diagram with a title, names and a line to connect the names with the parts of the drawing. They will also explore how shadows change by drawing a labelled sh...

The students in Mr. Spilcker's class continued their learning of Earth Science in their unit - Beneath Our Feet - by learning how to enhance their text with image editing such as Instant Alpha in the Pages app. The class used their TWLH chart to guide their report about what they learned, using the paragraph and image place holders in the Report Template in Pages app. Particularly, the instant Alph Editing of images to wrap with text was found to be useful. Finally, the students searched for copyright free images to demonstrate their learning or 'L' of their TWLH chart using online resources they have used for this purpose already and posted to the class Padlet wall. Next the students will reference these websites to demonstrate how the they know this learning to be true or 'H' of their TWLH chart and complete a self assessment using iMovie.
