I can't believe this is my first post of the year! Crazy busy this year. Hope to post weekly from now on.
We have a set of five mini iPads in our classroom. I use them daily in RTI and daily five.
This week our second graders used an app called Pic Collage for vocabulary during RTI time.
Pic Collage is my all time favorite app so if you haven't used it you just have to give it a try.
The students were instructed to use the vocabulary words and the app to find pictures on the web that show what it means. I saw a student use the word share and it had a cute teddy bear sharing an ice cream cone.
The next day I looked at the other photos and found the word suddenly. They had a picture of Suddenly Susan with a cigar in her mouth and a group of girls in bikinis with a saying on the bottom "suddenly she realized why men didn't date her".
Although it is a good activity I realized I need to see what pictures will show up when you type in the vocabulary word.
Lesson learned!
Lesson learned!
We just finished our final standardized fall test. RTI groups are in full swing and the students are settling into their weekly routines.
Glad to be back in the school year and I hope to make it a good one.
Be sure to check back next week because I will share another app I use for vocabulary.
Wish I had 1:1 Ipads! It would make things so much easier. Until next time!
The first picture was done by a student to show the word City and the second one is from our welcome back night, both were created in Pic Collage app.
