PD with Te Kowhai School

It was great to meet up today at Te Kowhai school and discuss iPads and e-Learning with their teachers.

Thank you to the teachers who "took a risk" and started a discussion around a topic that was of interest to them. A big thanks to ALL teachers who participated in a range of conversations around the use of devices and how they help/support our children with their learning.

We had discussions around: QR codes, 'escaping the iPad', global communities, show me app, symbaloo, brainpop, hippo remote, class dojo and much more!

Let's share something we learnt or found interesting in either a comment on this post or on your own teacher blog.

Teaching Typing Skills

Here is a link to a sqworl that has a huge selection of typing interactives to use with your classes.  I use these during my handwriting rotations as well as getting the children to write or reply to comments on their blogs.
