"Connecting Comprehension & Technology"
1. Apps: Padlet, QR Reader, Hello! Crayons
2. Essential question, read, illustrate, post, and review.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Last week, I attended a workshop with Kristin Ziemke on "Connecting Comprehension & Technology." It was great to hear exactly what I attempt to reiterate with my teachers. Some of the key points include:

Get students to be creative with their devices to express their learning.

Use a few apps that students can use to meet a wide variety of skills.

Technology is going to fail you from time to time; it is okay.

This week, I proposed one of her ideas to Mrs. Kuehnert (Kindergarten teacher at Wayne Center Elementary). Since the students have been using Hello! Crayons, it made a perfect opportunity for students to draw illustrations and label new things they learn while Mrs. Kuehnert read a non-fiction text aloud. The students were extremely engaged in the activity and were able to demonstrate clearly to Mrs. Kuehnert something they learned. After the students saved their work, the students submitted their work to a Padlet using QR Reader by Scan. ( Click here if you are unfamiliar with Padlet.com.) Here is the breakdown of the activity:

1. Prepare the students for thinking about what they are going to illustrate and label during the first reading. Have them focus on something new they learned.

2. Have a modeled example ready for the discussion after the first reading so that the expectations are set. (I modeled this while Mrs. Kuehnert was reading since there were two teachers present.)

3. Before you reread the text, have a few students share something they learned that they want to illustrate.

4. Reread the text and be ready to deal with a few drawing sounds coming out of their iPads. :)

5. Have students save their work by pressing the purple save ion, and then choose "save to gallery."

6. Pull up your pre-created Padlet on your screen and have the QR code displayed. Demonstrate how to scan the code using QR Reader by Scan.

7. Have students press their home screen buttons and open their QR Reader. Have students line up as they have the app open and rotate up to the screen to scan the code and return to their places. (The flow is rough at first, but Kindergarten students are good at Follow the Leader.)

8. Students then need to select their camera roll.

9. Discuss the learning that took place by looking at the Padlet as a class. At this point, I would recommend having the students press their homescreen buttons so that they do not accidentally add more items to your Padlet.

Set the Padlet to be organized into a "grid" so that the items are automatically organized for you.
