Using Pic Collage

In September my Empower Reading students established reading goals that gave them a purpose for learning to become better readers. Pic Collage was an easy and fun tool to post their goals!


Oral language: Core French

For the students that are apprehensive to present to the class, they are given the opportunity to present orally for the teacher through the iPad.  This has worked well for many in the grade 7/8 level.

Creating Storage Files

Today I learned how to create teacher files. I then learned how to drop my prep and post Empower assessment spread sheets , student reading goals created on pic collage and student assessment feedback videos into Ms. Brioux and Mrs. Kupers's files.

We are going to be using Google classroom for our writing portfolio for term two, and perhaps for some more applications thoughtout the term. It can also be used to provide ongoing feedback in an electronic format. So far we are very engaged are looking forward to using Google Classroom thought the term.

Peer Feedback

The FDK students are busy learning about patterns. They used materials around the room to make ABB patterns. I took pictures of the patterns with the IPad and we viewed them on the Smartboard using Apple TV. The students were able to give their peers feedback on their patterns.
