Our students used the iPads to synchronously compile and contribute to a survey created in Google docs. The data was then populated into the above bar graph. Thank you to [|Wesley Fryer]for his assistance in teaching us this.

 * **Voices2** Record your voice and changes it into different character voices. Share on Twitter, FB..
 * **If…Then** Through the use of cards, students complete open ended statements to enhance their critical thinking, inference, and reasoning. For example, “If you want to be someone’s friend, then…..”
 * **60 Story Starters** Students touch the screen and listen to a story starter from 180 different prompts. Helps to improve describing, questioning, inferencing, writing, and retelling/storytelling.
 * **Textropolis** Students travel to cities worldwide and find hidden words in the city.

There are a number of music apps. For example, we used the Virtuoso app for the iPad used to teach the GT students the keyboard. We also used the iTouches to scavenger hunt different notes. The students took pictures as they found a whole note, half note, quarter note, etc... They **LOVED** this!! To remember what Touch the student had, the kindergarten teacher has her students take a picture of themselves and store this pic in their pictures. Good idea, huh? This activity was included in a comprehension lesson to reinforce the use of text structure and text factors. The objective of the lesson: Students will increase comprehension by using text factors such as text structure specifically comparison and contrast. Students will use text features such as maps, notes from the author, descriptive text, headings, and colorful illustrations. I based this lesson on the book, "On the Same Day in March", by Marilyn Singer. Not only did we compare the weather across the globe, but we compared the music. =**IV. Questions**= Thank you for attending!!

One question I had during the session pertained to connectivity to enable projecting from the iPad with the projector mounted in the wall. I suggested a splitter. I am still researching this. In the meantime, I just learned of a device called [|AppleTV] that allows you to project through your VGA projector wirelessly and cordlessly. The apparatus in $100. If you have a VGA projector, however, you will need a VGA adapter as the AppleTV device is HDMI. This can be purchased through[| Amazon]. I'm going to give it a try. Update on the VGA Adapter....it did not work because of an encryption embedded within the Apple device. I'll post more as soon as I know how to correct this. You should, too!! Here is a very good article from [|Tony Vincent's blog Learning in Hand]about AirPlay mirroring to a Mac. Is there no end to wonderful information?
