iPad Learning...

We are lucky to have 20 new iPads at Dougall.  We were one of the first classes to use them, and the students have been having a lot of fun learning how to use them.  We are currently learning how to use the program called Explain Everything.  We have been working in partners to learn how to create different slides using different tools on the screen.  We have also learned how to "mirror" our iPads, which means we can show our work up on the SmartBoard so the entire class can see our work.  Once we are more comfortable with the program, we will be using Explain Everything share our learning about different topics.  We can't wait!

Sensational SMARTBoard

The students had a great time today, using our SMART Board.  The SMART Board is an interactive white board that allows students to participate in hands-on learning through technology.  Throughout the year, we will be using the SMART Board for all our different subjects.  Today, we practiced reading, writing and matching our WOW words, and had fun with some rhyming activities.  Tomorrow, we will be using the Smart Board during Visual Arts.  Here are some students in action.
