So now that we have technology, what should we do? How do things change? What change is in store for my teaching?
This is the third round of several newsletters that will provide you with tips and ideas on how to appropriate use an iPad..
Lesson Idea
Topic: Writing
Tool: iPad and the Chromville app
Activity: Creative writing with a prompt
Chromeville is an AUGMENTED REALITY app, meaning, images on the paper come to life. Students can color the image to their own liking, use the app to hover over the image and boom, out pops the student’s artwork, colors and all.
While that is fun, having the students add their own story to the animated artwork makes it that much better. With the Chromville app, they now have the complete Greenland story. You have four sections to write on, a beginning, two middle and an end. You could even have students sequence the story and then have the students play each page to see if it makes sense.
