I really enjoy using the i-Pads for authentic assessments.  The students really enjoyed using the technology to show off their understanding of materials and to present their work.  The i-Pad is used in every subject and is a great tool to enhance and create wonderful pieces of work.

I would love to see the i-Pads kept with each grade level with grade level specific apps and resources.  That way each grade can come up with a list of apps that they use and don't have to worry about deleting the extra apps that won't be used.

I also agree with Andrea Duwell that I would like to see more Wednesdays dedicated to technology (more what do you do with the app or site, not here is an app and this is how you sign up)since our district has put a lot into getting these great tools for us to use.

I really loved using Book Creator at the end of the year in first grade. I was amazed at some of the projects my class was able to create. They were getting very detailed with the pictures they used to help make their writing even better.

In the younger grades it is much more time consuming to keep every single iPad updated. It would be nice if we had an IT person that could help us out with that. I also agree with Kelly LaCrosse, that every grade level should have their own image. It would be nice if we could keep the same iPads every year so we don't always have to keep adding apps in that aren't in the image. It takes lots of time to do this. One last thing, can we make sure the ok button is fixed for next year on all iPads? We waste between 5-10 minutes of a lesson just pushing the OK button, which ends up being our whole minilesson  time.

Keeping in mind I'm more than will to help anyone create a green screen next year, is there anyone else other than Jill Bailey that has a green screen already set up. If you are interested in green screen please ask myself or Jill Bailey. I know Jill would be eager to explain how she set it up. Also...any ideas about how we could create school wide news at the elementary ...middle ....or high school using green screen? It would be nice to start a recording studio with a group of students who love either writing, reading, acting, recording, editing, or producing!

I wish we would have more Wednesday collaborations geared towards technology versus sooo heavily in the reading and writing curriculum and 80/20.

Also, I think it would be a great way to end the year to showcase one thing we did in the classroom with technology to share-out on in service day June 3rd with a small group. My students have been wanting to take home their graphic organizers because they want to get more information with their parents on their projects. They are excited about "homework" that I didn't even assign and their books are turning out so much better because of it! Thank you for introducing "Book Creator" to us! My kids are soooo engaged with this nonfiction unit, way more than at the beginning/mid of the year without the technology portion!!! :)

In 5K we are finding that the kids are being taught a lot of apps during media center time. We would like to know what apps are being taught and how they're being used so we know how to expand on it.

Though 5K saw the value of using Seesaw throughout the different grade levels, we felt that it was very time consuming for us to go in and look at what the kids finished. Our students need so much of our guidance and support

We brainstormed during our 80/20 time and these are the suggestions that we came up with:
- Use Skyward (or EduClimer) for tardy and detention records (instead of the shared Google Sheet).
- Can we find a similar format across the grade levels for team info? (at the middle school)
- How to build a website/blog presence.

Something I saw going very well in Mrs. Jadin's Kindergarten class today was watching (helping) the student's research on an animal using 2 or more different sources to gather facts...wow they were using "speak aloud" on the ipad to help them synthesis, analyze, and determine explicitly what the text was saying through close reading. Kindergarten stepped things up since I was 5 years old!

I really think that new staff could use a crash course on Smart Docs, Google Classroom and Skyward at the beginning of the year.

Training for Staff... or work with staff to implement interactive displays. Once staff knows how to use it, then they will be more comfortable implementing its use in the classroom for student manipulation.

One thing that I think could help with 4th and 5th grades getting new iPads, is that all of the "little kid" apps and apps we don't tend to use as much get taken off when they reimage. This will save a lot of time inthe  beginning of the year so we don't have to be deleting things.
Thanks Mr Hunt for working so well with us and getting this new technology into our classrooms! You are such a valuable resource!
