I teach a weekly Media and Technology class to a small group of K4/K5 students. I don't have my own classroom so I travel with my 4th Gen iPad which holds lessons, interesting videos, fun books, educational apps and Pages (among many other wonderful things Apple). It will be wonderful to read digital books to the kids and not have to hold up the iPad, while rotating while each takes turn repeating ... "I can't seeeeee!" The vibrant display and booming sound will undoubtably captivate my easily distracted audience! We also enjoy watching educational videos in Tech Class- it will be fun to sit on the same side of the screen as the kids which will give me the opportunity to be more involved in my lessons. I do most of my planning from home so I love that I can easily travel back and forth between home, school and from building to building. I created a Sign In Sheet in Pages for them to learn to type their names as well all of the different features (fonts, text size and color, copy and paste, etc.). The keyboard will be a great addition! The pencil is super exciting as I prefer to note take this way rather than typing AND I can doodle and sketch at the same time! There are so many exciting features in the iPad Pro that will hopefully bring new life to my Technology class!
Oh, I'm not gonna lie ... I will definitely have the iPad Pro in the kitchen with me while I sing and dance and flip over to my Paprika app for recipes while cooking.
