Loving Life in Kinder With Ipads

Our kindergartens are utilizing iPads many different ways this year.  Following this blog has suggested good apps that I would love to try.  For the moment our class is becoming experts on two that are ideal for our age. 

  Our favorite app is Pic Collage.  We have used this in both ELA and Math centers.  In ELA we have used this to identify letter sounds, labeled rhyming words and located sight words in print around our classroom.  We love the ability to make each page our own with wallpaper, picture design and labeling.  When we use Pic Collage in our Math Tubs we have sorted items, represented number value in different ways and created math sentences to illustrate.  Each time we use Pic Collage it gets better and better.

  Another app that we are still getting familiar with is Haiku Deck.  We have been using this for several weeks now and it just keeps getting better too!  We have a few experts that remind the rest of us about the effects that make our pages in Haiku Deck even more special. 

  We are ready to take the next step and begin using See Saw.  I have seen several exciting things with See Saw and feel like we can use this to extend our learning.  I am ready to give it a try~  I know it will be a positive for our classroom.  We are fortunate to have the access to the number of iPads that we do.  I am excited about using them and learning more about them.
