Thanks to Chevron’s Fuel Your School Campaign, my students received two iPads and two Osmo Coding Kits this year. This puts my class at having a total of fifteen devices, including previosly donated iPads and school provided desktops and laptops. I’m almost at my goal of being a 1:1 classroom!

Brain Pop is a favorite center in our classroom. Each student has their individual logins that are linked to our class. This allows me to assign games, quizzes, NewsEla articles and writing assignments. Students then submit the assignment to me when they're completed.

Our class loves to review with Monster Quiz! SMART Labs divides students into teams and they complete review quizzes on their individual iPads. The team that has the most correct answers will score the most points and they win! Afterwards, SMART Labs shows me what percentage of the class missed each question. This makes reviewing a breeze for teachers and very fun and engaging for students.
