 * Clear Targets **

I can
 * explore everyday tools such as the camera, ruler, calculator and QR code readers

 * find productivity and organizational tools that will fit in the classroom
 * app smash by using multiple apps to curate and merge content for publishing

How do you use iPads?

= =



**Everyday Tools**
|| * Create student-generated reusable lessons. Teachers have students create a video explaining a skill. Upon submission, the teacher selects examples that can be used as teaching tools for other teachers or classes. || Students ask a lot of questions. Why not let them ask Siri? Siri can be a great hands free resource and all you need to do is have students click and hold the open button and verbally ask a question. Teach students the power of specific questions by asking Siri and working to narrow topics. Examples:
 * **Camera**
 * Use QR codes to share content or student work. The camera of an iPad provides quick access to a student's body of work.
 * Build quizzes with authentic visual cues. Students take pictures of science experiments then when building quizzes these photos can be used as visual cues.
 * Create videos for building school culture. Students create videos highlighting themes or school events. These can be shared on the school website or during announcements.
 * Record, annotate and explain class work. Students take images or videos of experiments, hands-on math tasks, ... any class work then record or annotate the work.
 * For STEM or science experiments Slo-Mo (slow motion) or Time-Lapse videos work wonders.
 * Record instruction and student work live with camera and display on a projection screen.
 * Spelling Test, Oral Reading, and Spotlighting Students Learn More
 * Story Problems, Journals, and Storytelling ||
 * **Siri For Research-**
 * Ask better questions. How long is the Panama Canal? Now try: What is the length of the Panama Canal?
 * Quickly locate facts. Nearest museum. Moon Phases.
 * What is the weather forecast?
 * Siri remind me.....

|| My script calculator is a helpful tool when confirming math calculations. Students can hand write equations to be solved quickly. This calculator is easy to edit in a snap when changing variables. ||
 * More Ideas for Using Siri:** 20 Ways Siri May Forever Change Education ||

 * **Clock** || Analog Clock, Instant Timer, and Stopwatch look for these tools in the Control Center

To access the control center swipe up from the bottom of the iPad. ||
 * **Speak a Selection** || Check to be sure the Speak selection is enabled under GENERAL>SPEECH
 * You may need to adjust the rate of speech as not to be too fast or slow for individual students.

You can now swipe down with two fingers from the top of the screen, readers can now use the controls to pause or adjust settings You can also have only a selection of text read to readers by highlighting any text and choosing Speak || || Students can access information quickly by using a QR code reader.
 * **Calendar** || In a one iPad classroom the teacher could sync a calendar with center rotations and directions. ||
 * **QR Code Reader**
 * Student created word problems
 * Reading sight words
 * Scavenger Hunt
 * Math Problem
 * Presenting content [[image:Screenshot 2016-06-07 21.20.11.png width="306" height="294" caption="Directs students to a Padlet with content on Tropical Rainforest."]]

 * Pull down from the middle of the iPad to bring up the search box
 * Type in a location perhaps from your Social Studies content or a setting from your reading story. For this example we will use New York City, USA
 * Notice you can search the web, apps, or maps
 * For this example we will use maps
 * Start the fly over tour
 * Once the tour has ended slide in from the right and let's take a few notes ||
 * **Face Time or Skype**
 * **Photobooth**
 * Exploring Symmetry Learn More
 * Digital Assessment with PaperSlide Video Learn More

 * Saving Websites as Tiles**

For websites that are visited frequently, simply save them to the home screen or dock for easy access

To do this click the export arrow and choose Save to Home Screen The website will then appear as a tile that can live on the home screen, dock, or a customized group. This is great to save time and also works well as you begin to differentiate tasks on the iPads for student groups.

Content Tools & Apps
Math Journals - Allows students to explore deep math reasoning with apps like Number Frames, Number Line, Number Pieces. Students have the flexibility to model math with equations, five to 100 frames, counters, and annotations.

Click for HMH Reader Directions
 * Reading for Fluency with HMH Readers -** Students can read from a selection of fiction or non-fiction leveled readers. As they read, they can choose to hear text read aloud, bookmark pages, and record their own voice reading the text. Students could also use these stories to explain authors point of view, main idea, or to point out text evidence. To access the full selection of leveled readers, ask your tech coach for your grade level code.




 * Retelling with Collins Big Cat Books- ** Early readers will enjoy the Big Cat Collins Apps. These beautifully illustrated stories allow students to interact with text by reading alone, having the story read to them, or even reading aloud and recording the reader's voice. When having the story read, words are highlighted emphasizing left to right progression. The reader's attention is also drawn to the moving and often interactive illustrations on each page. After reading the story, students use the story creator to retell a scene or multiple scenes by selecting the setting, characters, and objects. Finally, text and voice can be recorded to allow the student to retell the story.This serves as a wonderful performance based task for early readers.

Let's take some of the great tools we have learned today and make them work together. Apps can be even more powerful when used together or "smashed". In the Powerpoint below, see how one teacher began with a standard in mind, created a clear target, and used two or more apps to allow students to accomplished a given task. These task cards also serve as a great management tool to easily direct students to apps and keep focus on a specific task. More about "App Smashing" or the more teacher-friendly term, "Layering Apps", follow the video at this link, @https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvMWa2nVoMw&feature=em-subs_digest, or see the embedded YouTube video below. media type="custom" key="27696307"
