iPAD - Don't you mean iAWESOME

Hi.

My name is Josh.

And I'm an iPAD addict.

Not really... but I am really enjoying using the iPADS in class. Here are some things that I've done

1. Downloaded HUMAN ANATOMY APP for Year 9 Football Class. Students learn about the skeletal system!

2. Downloaded GLO BIBLE for Year 8 Bib. It's a Bible with photos of what the place would've looked like. For example - we saw a photo of Herod's castle this morning which was cool... Currently my Year 8 boys class are working in silence, reading a chapter on their GLO BIBLE and responding in their BIB books.

3. Downloaded PICTURE COLLAGE APP for Year 8 Bib. It's an app where you basically create a collage of photos, text and online pics to create a montage that represents something that we are learning about - in this case Genesis 3 and The Fall.

4. Dowloaded ACTION FX APP - yep this was just for a bit of fun. You film a short video clip and then insert a torpedo, or rogue car crash or even a meteroite. This was fun...

5. In Year 8 English the kids took an IPAD and filmed their mate reading from a book - practicing for their SPOKEN TASK. Then they viewed themselves and made notes of things they need to remember for their speech - don't rock, use hands etc.

6. Downloaded PUBLIC SPEAKING APP for Year 8 English. This is just like a textbook on Public Speaking and meant that as I spoke about things like speaking clearly etc, they could follow along on their APP.

7. Downloaded Excelaide - this is an app that makes things SLO MO. This will be helpful to analyse a kids cricket (bowling or batting) action.

8. Used SAFARI to bring up TWO WAYS TO LIVE - six pictures that explain the BIBLE to my Year 8 Bib class.


There ya go.

The biggest problem that I would like fixed is to be able to take photos/video and email them to me or to the students own email etc.

One day..

... So there you go.
