Testing is Over! What should I do with my students?!
Are you looking for something cool to do with your students in the last few weeks of school? I have access to iPods I can bring into any Pre-K through 8th grade classroom! The iPods can support Project Based Learning Projects (FaceTalker, Augmented Reality, etc), QR Code Activities, Math Game Apps (2nd grade and up), and Kahoot! Assessments. If you are interested in having me come into your classroom, email me and we can set up a date and time for iPods in you classroom.
