There are an amazing number of Third Party apps that provide engaging and relevant teaching support for classroom lessons. This session opens the door to a selection of engaging tools and encourages teachers to search and purchase specific apps for use with their classes. We will be covering a wide range of learning areas and unique tools.
This task at its core is designed as an Observational Skills Project for students using Animation in Keynote with an optional integration of soundscapes in GarageBand. Students are required to marry their Metacognitive Skills with their Digital Technologies Skills to create, observe, interpret, recall, and display prior learning knowledge. There is some creative prep work for teachers in Pages, though if students use MacBooks or you would like to extend students’ creativity within this task, the students may engage this portion of the task in Pages.
During this session we will explore how our students can use Pages to celebrate their writing by creating stunning, interactive books that can be easily shared with others. We will explore different approaches to illustrating their work, and adding audio to make their stories accessible to all learners. Along the way we will discover how Pages can be used to support our young writers - particularly the reluctant!
