In a cute play off this summer's kid
favorite "Monster's University," each of our Multiage (first, second
grade) students created a "Meet My Monster" poster introducing the other
Jamestown students to an M.U. monster they created. To help learn the
writing process, the students took their monster from beginning to end
including brainstorming, first draft, peer edit, revising, teacher edit,
and final draft. Their product was typed in pages, and the students
created a portrait of their monster using Drawing Pad. Merging the two
together in pages was the final step in bringing their monster to life.
Huge eyeballs and multiple arms galore.... meet our monsters!<br />

The 5th grade created movie and movie trailers using iMovie on the iPad. The project was designed to demonstrate students' knowledge of story elements based on their reading group novel. Students collaborated to plan and create their iMovies. Groups began by using a storyboard organizer. Many students chose to organize their iMovie using the apps Popplet Lite and Corkulous. After planning, groups filmed scenes using the built in camera on the iPad. They organized the clips in iMovie and added music, voice over, and transitions. Students presented their movies to the class to spark interest in reading their novel. Teachers used a rubric to grade the final presentations. Some students chose to use iStop Motion to create stop motion videos.<br />

Students are able to track their own progress, challenge themselves, and become extremely engaged within the skill without feeling the need to compete with their peers. It has also given the teacher the opportunity to touch on a multitude of skills in a 60 minute language arts block. Students are constantly engaged and driven to do their own personal best. For example, there are students with a goal to learn 100 sight words. They know which applications will assist with their goal and can independently access it through the appropriate tool. The use of technology allows us to touch a variety of multiple intelligences within the classroom. Students who are visual, kinesthetic and auditory learners gravitate towards these tools immensely. The use of these tools has truly transformed our learning environment into a 21st Century Kindergarten classroom.Jamestown Elementary Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749972133897610756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903040865599269432.post-63213053781191871242011-03-11T12:12:00.000-08:002011-03-11T12:18:38.665-08:00In building up to our Valentine's Day Party, the children were told that they would be preparing the cookies we would eat at the party. The children first learned how to bake cookies using the application on the iPad called, "Cookie Doodle". Individually each child used this application; first combining the ingredients to make the dough, then mixing the dough, then rolling the dough, next cutting out and baking the cookies, then decorating the cookies, and finally eating the cookies (using their finger to simulate taking bites of the cookie). The following day, the children were again shown the application "Cookie Doodle", but this time they had all the real ingredients in front of them. Each child was able to add an ingredient using the iPad and then place that real ingredient into a real Mixer. One child who is unable to communicate using words, used the application "Proloquo2go" to communicate wanting a turn, and if he liked something or didn't like something. We were able to follow all the directions and bake real cookies. It was so much fun!!!Jamestown Elementary Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749972133897610756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903040865599269432.post-83472034121025309072011-03-07T07:27:00.000-08:002011-03-07T07:33:10.736-08:00<img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh246LmnNh8HaoEqwCEjDBLj4KUyPkl6xu9S1Usen1-v1CpGxodCbKkTov1ixvjHDG2YADMf1VMb3Plywc_Uz4tHTvFlDm8VCTJo6ppdMHKZSA9VaCgMXpvFmQdGMijLL9UBwYvhu1cDQkp/s200/RunkleiPad.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581361157794451426" /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7dN20u-uebhwZDq0N5zGwdapENVqR2MC84jZ2nN7yh88s6aluCLJkPNkJgiTxWUmIV22qMmZCl3y38ECaX1WW0-jIy0Pp9Er3Vt-OmQdG-cTc_8NQXbc7hmiNhyphenhyphenYhSMfp6XSBHCtyUKW/s1600/runkleiPodTouch.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT7dN20u-uebhwZDq0N5zGwdapENVqR2MC84jZ2nN7yh88s6aluCLJkPNkJgiTxWUmIV22qMmZCl3y38ECaX1WW0-jIy0Pp9Er3Vt-OmQdG-cTc_8NQXbc7hmiNhyphenhyphenYhSMfp6XSBHCtyUKW/s200/runkleiPodTouch.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5581361394070512418" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif;font-size:small;">Jamestown First Grade students in Mrs. Runkle's Class use iPad and iPod Touch devices every Monday morning for a half an hour during our first math block. Half the class starts on iPads and the other half starts on iTouches and then we switch midway through the time period, creating interactive learning stations. Mostly we practice our addition and subtraction facts. It works really well because there are so many different math apps that they can play and as a teacher, I can differentiate according to students' skill levels and learning needs. I like for them to switch devices so they can have access to both types of screens. At first I thought they would all want the iPad because the screen is larger, but many like the iPod Touch better!</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:tahoma, arial, 'nimbus sans l', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div>Jamestown Elementary Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749972133897610756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903040865599269432.post-4558289590193707932011-02-25T11:18:00.000-08:002011-02-25T11:24:50.327-08:00iPad Uses Limitless!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqaaYIXKQI3KW49YWChqLXOnCWr5ESkK5_S1WdfOIN3I0CXr4xbOjg0tfj9vv2lZ_UNQSnOcaS8EYpGDrdk_73nKad8emJTIMc9UiUsPfTefuZdnCfcz8C_4SF7KjA9fk4oVDUEvjwozv/s1600/IMG_0315.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqaaYIXKQI3KW49YWChqLXOnCWr5ESkK5_S1WdfOIN3I0CXr4xbOjg0tfj9vv2lZ_UNQSnOcaS8EYpGDrdk_73nKad8emJTIMc9UiUsPfTefuZdnCfcz8C_4SF7KjA9fk4oVDUEvjwozv/s200/IMG_0315.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577710289389717938" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauEX8bSz5_FiVngx-YOn9p-zmuGZnTxoG1OTcIirbeULdyz1kbC_RDZBn2-MRhQ2nElDxwSR-Tuvht41sQqiViO-6WAc1dx5KLSxsDWuw03RnZyedyXS0iUWrEIwBRt1a5YSx-1h2oJGN/s1600/IMG_0308.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhauEX8bSz5_FiVngx-YOn9p-zmuGZnTxoG1OTcIirbeULdyz1kbC_RDZBn2-MRhQ2nElDxwSR-Tuvht41sQqiViO-6WAc1dx5KLSxsDWuw03RnZyedyXS0iUWrEIwBRt1a5YSx-1h2oJGN/s200/IMG_0308.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577710289827291826" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Do you have a student with motivational issues?

Mrs. Hardin who works with many special needs children has made technology an integral part of learning in the art classroom. In an effort to reach out to student, Mrs. Hardin has used her interactive white board and iPad devices regularly. Every class period starts with a fun interactive game on the <span style=""> </span>interactive whiteboard. Students take turn mixing colors, finding different shapes, or playing memory games. This helps to engage students and is also used as a reward for the end of class to motivate them to work for a certain period of time. Students in class that have severe autism use the iPads to create drawings with a simple touch. This eliminates children not wanting to touch the art materials or putting art materials in their mouths. It still gives them a creative outlet while they are still learning how to use art materials appropriately.<br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>Jamestown Elementary Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749972133897610756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4903040865599269432.post-19531458229041155332010-11-04T17:17:00.000-07:002010-11-04T17:22:27.843-07:00Ground Rules Using CorkulousDuring the first week of school the class used Corkulous to create their class ground rules.

We started with a focus on bringing math to life in the classroom with apps that help students practice math operations. We soon found new ways of integrating research, note taking, graphic organizing and presentation in the classroom across the curriculum. We are now integrating a variety of resources in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 5 into Science, Language Arts, Social Studies, Math learning and teaching. We will be sharing our implementation strategies and the apps we use on this blog.<br /><br />Jamestown Elementary Schoolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13749972133897610756noreply@blogger.com0
