Yesterday, I led a professional development session with the lovely teachers at @UPS_Jags on the 1 iPad Classroom. We talked about different iOs and web-based apps the teachers could use for whole group instruction or formative assessment. Here are my resources from the PD.
We started off talking about "What the iPad is and What it Isn't", a great blog post by Silvia Tolisano. After that, I shared three apps - Quizlet, Thinglink and Skitch.
A 2nd grade teacher and I collaborated druing the session to come up with an assessment for her continents unit - "Guess My Continent". We'll be working with her students to create a Thinglink of their continent. Students will present their research and the class will guess which continent they researched. I'll post about how it goes at a later date.
