Innovative+iPad+Implementations

Welcome to my Innovative iPad Implementation wiki.

Here you will find a few examples of the unique uses and applications I would utilize the iPads for at Holm Elementary School.

4th & 5th grade- Shakespeare in Bits - Makes learning and understanding Shakespeare into an interactive and exciting educational experience. These remarkable apps offers Shakespeares: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, A Midsummer Nights Dream, Hamlet & Julius Caesar in a format that is easily understood because it provides visual, text, audio, and supportive language material for vocabulary that is no longer used in our 21st century dialect.

Kinder- 2nd grade - Tree Hut- Milly, Molly and the Tree Hut $2.99app. These wonderful children's stories come to life by running their fingers over the text to hear the story or touch any word to hear it said or spelt. Students can color their own pages or record their own voices reading the book. The best part about this app, is the students will be able to hear themselves, make self correction, and really understand how their language and reading fluency effect the listener. This app is especially important with early learning and literacy development. Students can explore other languages too. The books have been written to promote the acceptance of diversity, sound values and the learning of life skills. “We may look different but we feel the same.” • Swipe-to-Read™ the words to hear and playback the story at your own pace. • Touch-to-Hear™ individual words spoken. • Touch-to-Spell™ to hear the letters that spell each and every word. • Auto Play to enjoy the narration. • Use the My Narration function to read and record the story yourself and customize your book. • Paint mode is now on each story page! • Paint has a paint palette, brush width, move and zoom, and undo abilities! • Tap the paint palette icon and tap a color to change the paint color! • Tap the brush palette icon and change the slider to change the brush size! • Tap the move icon and pinch with two fingers to zoom in and move the picture around with one finger.
