6 iPads~ Mrs. Cowell

On days when our grade level counterpart has a class set of iPads, our cohort came up with a system to allow for another class to get the 6 extra iPads... rather than let them collect dust!

Pros/ how we implemented this:
- I was able to run learning centers and stations using QR codes and Notability... I saw that iPads allowed for self-correcting, collaboration, reinforcement, critical thinking, engagement, and more when I used them in this format
- A review in math was more productive as there were 6 stations with 6 different topics, small group instruction-- versus whole class, and students were able to help one another
- During reader's workshop we used Today's Meet in teams (versus individually)... I found that this made each students really think through what they were going to type rather than typing the first thing that came to mind. Students began asking questions that other groups would help answer using the internet to search for answers... it was amazing to see how resourceful they were with the world at their fingertips!
- My students that have special learning needs were able to use the iPads to take notes/ pictures of text using Notability during my Social Studies instruction
Cons-
- None that came up... it is a bonus to get an additional day with these iPads, so no complaints here!
