30 new ipads have been purchased, synced, protected and charged ready for your implementation. Please ensure you have inducted your students before using these devices, as per the user agreement on common.
Thank you, Mitchell Gibbs for your support &
Jim Bell for your assistance
THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT...STRIP DESIGNER
This is my favourite app! Kids love Comics. Create comics easily. Think, PROCEDURE, RECOUNT, INFORMATION REPORT, CHARACTER ANALYSIS, TIME LINES, PERSUASIVE TEXT OR MATHS...which covers just about every thing. It can be used for all KLA's. it is an excellent way of summarising a topic.
Check out the youtube tutorial below.
WIFI installed in all classrooms - including K AND YR 1.
New WAPs have been installed in the K & 1 classrooms.
I expect regional to come in to switch on the new wifi in a few days.
Apple Learning Tour
