Our 21st Century digital classroom!!

Although we have 3 i-pads in our class everyday and we use them everyday, we still rely on our books for reading, writing and doing our maths a lot of the time.

For the last week of term I thought it would be a good challenge for me (and great fun and learning for the kids!!) to see how close we can get to a full 'digital classroom', where our learning is done on digital devices as much as possible!!

To do this I have used the STUDYLADDER site to allocate e-books and literacy activities (as well as the usual maths games) for each child. Please log in at home to do your child's reading online each night!! You may learn a thing or two with your child!

I have also juggled our daily schedule to get the laptops for our reading time and borrowed 4 more i-pads from Room 4. Thanks Miss McPhee!!! Thanks to the co-operation of other staff we are all able to read on the laptops and i-pads and also use them for writing and maths!!

The kids have also found that they have to problem solve as the devices sometimes don't work as we want them to... they have learnt to ask each other for help and share the little 'tricks' and 'fixes' that they have learnt with each other

Great work Room 3, you are all truly 21st century learners!!!
