iPads with Lorrie
Lorrie Salome is a Master Teacher at our elementary school who loves technology.
She is an expert at identifying digital tools that will promote engagement and learning for her students.
Her most recent and exciting tool is the iPad. She has had one for over a year and has developed many creative ways to use One iPad with her students.
With the arrival of the 1-1 iPads in our 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms she has continued to joke about not being able to sleep because her "wheels are turning" with all the exciting things she can do.

With the arrival of the 1-1 iPads in our 2nd and 3rd grade classrooms she has continued to joke about not being able to sleep because her "wheels are turning" with all the exciting things she can do.
Here are some examples.
Her first class is a group of students who are doing some differentiated math work.
She starts each class with a morning message, with a trivia question.
Students follow a QR code to a Google Form in which they answer the trivia question (with a sticker going to the student(s) with the correct or closest answer); they also answer questions on the form that give Lorrie an idea of how well they understood the previous day's skills and/or homework. By watching the results of the Google form populate the resulting spreadsheet on her computer, she can adjust her lesson there on the spot.
On this day she has loaded some PDFs of some practice activities onto her website.
The students use a QR code to get to this page, (It is hidden from the navigation bar on her site), they open the PDF using the NeuAnnotate app and work the problems.
This video shows students using PDFs open in NeuAnnotate, which allows them to zoom in for larger work spaces, and to move around the page easily.
Lorrie has created some useful interactive tools for math that her students can access using the QR code to her hidden Math Page: in addition to the hundreds board, she has an interactive crayon logic keynote page, a interactive page in keynote that is a 10s Frame, and a Bingo Board. She is working with our 1-1 Second and Third Grade classes to show the students and teachers how to use these tools.
Here are two videos showing Third graders working with Crayon Logic Problems and Hundreds Boards on their iPads.
This video shows students using hundreds charts and calculators to collaboratively solve a math problem. Some of the audio is from a different activity in another part of the classroom.
