Sharing my experiences

It's always great to get opportunities to share my experiences and what exciting things I have happening in Room 19 with my learners using 1:1 iPads.  One such opportunity happened today with a group of visitors to Manaiakalani.    My Google Presentation touched briefly on some of the ways we use the iPad in Reading, Writing and Maths and I linked to examples that I have blogged about in the past.

      Thanks Dorothy and for today's opportunity! I continue to feel honoured for the opportunity that the MDTA programme has given me and enjoy sharing some of the amazing things that happen in my classroom.

    The EE examples are my favourite part of your sharing along with the honest commentary of how they work and what you learnt from them.

      Thanks Juanita - its great to have a medium where I can reflect on how the projects have gone, and be able to revisit it in the future!

    Fantastic presentation Karen. It gives a great overview of what you are doing with the 1:1 ipads. Can I join you in your class when I am at PBS on Wednesday (tomorrow)?
