Using Pic Collage to support AFL

In the FDK class, we are continuing to use technology to support student reflection, sharing of student learning and as a way to celebrate success.

Using the Pic Collage app, we have been making learning collages with photos of the day's learning. We use simple sentences to describe the learning.

These collages can then be printed out to post in class or be sent home with students.

The collages can also be viewed on the Smartboard via Apple TV. This allows for dialogue and gives the students a chance to reflect back on previous learning, make connections, ask questions and give both self and peer feedback.

We have started to have the children assist in creating their own collages.

Pic Collage is a very user friendly App that can be used in a variety of ways in the class.

Creating Arrays in Math

Quick pictures

I love using the IPAD during small group work.  It makes it so easy to document learning and take quick anecdotal notes.  Bring on the report cards!

sounds Alive in Gr. 4!

We made our own instruments as part of our Sound unit and then performed a Christmas tune.

Using our Apple TV

We went to the pet store today and took our IPAD to record our visit.  We took some time this afternoon to discuss while looking at our pictures on the Apple TV.

Technology & Word Wall

The students in FDK used loose materials found in the class and nature to create the letters of the alphabet. They took pictures of their letters with the IPad and they were displayed in the room to create our Word Wall.
