Nursery Road Kindergarteners Learn Their Letters
Mrs. Law's Kindergarten students learned about letters, letter sounds, and the places in their school by creating a digital video called Faces and Places. Mrs. Ogen took students around the school and took their picture in a place or with a person or thing beginning with the same letter sound as their first name. Then the students got to record a sentence on the iPad with the PixnTell app. Watch the video and see if you can recognize the same beginning sounds in the students' names and the places they visited.
Ballentine Media Center's Smart Solutions
“It captures their attention and you can march right into the lesson!” Marilyn excitedly reports and Jayne adds that "for our special needs students, it helps them transition into the lesson and shows them the expectations for what they will be doing for the day."
Tellegami , sock puppets, Pixntell and Facetalk are some of the apps they have utilized so far. Facetalk and Tellegami can both be embedded into a SMARTboard lesson- making them even easier to access.
Using local backgrounds from the school personalize the presentations and keep the students engaged and excited to see what they will be doing.
