IPad Pilot in First Grade

Mrs. Stefonsky's first grade students have been using the iPads daily, during the math intervention time. They enjoy playing Code Squad, Operation Math, and other games and quizzes from Brain Pop. They have invited other students to play with them. These have been wonderful tools for enrichment in math for many of her students.

Enjoy!​  Ms. Mooney has discovered many ways to display her students' work digitally and display it for all to see.

Student Initiative

Fourth Graders in Ms. Waddill's class have taken the initiative to start a Google Spreadsheet of all the Google Presentations they have created since they have been introduced to Googe Applications for Education!  I am so proud of them and the excitement they have toward Google and all its features.  I know it is spreading throughout their classroom, grade level, and Purple Sage!  Thank you, fourth graders for sharing!
