 * Lesson idea ||  Description  ||  Resources and Apps  ||
 * ===**//__Introduction lesson__//**=== || Introduction into the maintenance and what iPads are using PowerPoint created in **Keynote.**
 * ===//__**Math Rotations**__//=== || Small group rotations in math. One group will be using the iPads to build on Number skills. This will allow small group focus using the **Math trainer** app. We also had another group using the **Angry birds** app as part of problem solving in the math group rotations. This app allowed the students to explore measurement, timing and also multi functions and understanding of how different coloured birds allowed different abilities. || Math Trainer
 * ===//__**Whole class Number work.**__//=== || Whole class integration with pairs working on **Megamind Math** . Problem solving activities and strategies to build multi- level questions.
 * ===//__**Readers Theatre**__//=== || Pairs to work on using **Sock Puppet** app to do a Readers Theatre reading. Focus on short stories, communication, setting scenes and expression. Initial challenge will be of the value Responsibility. Students to create a small story describing what it is and how to show it.
 * ===//__**Fairytale Narrative writing**__//=== || Students to scaffold and create Fairytales to share with class. The app **Storykit** allows students to use images or take their own, write text and add audio to build their stories. This can be adapted to fit any text type.
 * ===//__**S**caffolding__ __Narratives__//=== || ====Using the app **A Novel idea** - We scaffolded the writing of Fairy Tale Narratives. This allowed us to look at the setting, characters, tension of the plot, external motivation of characters etc. It promoted a lot of dialogue of creating a Narrative using the components and structure of Novel writing.====

Stage 3 students were given the task of drafting and building their Narrative using this app. Other students used the Notetable app to brainstorm ideas to add to their scaffold.

 * ===__//**B**////**uilding Math facts and recall**//__=== || ====Students in stage 1 and 2 to use **Math Master** to work on Numeracy skills. The app Math Master included several options. We began with Speed which had the students match alogrithms with the answers. This progressed to the option Flip which had the students shown the tiles before facing them down and having the students memorise where they saw cards. The final activity was Memory where students then had to flip and eliminate cards according to the answers.==== || [[image:ipad2icteducationrevolution/Maths_Master_app.PNG width="86" height="82" link="@http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/maths-master/id340693507?mt=8"]] ||
 * ===//__**Grammar within Fairytale context**__//=== || ====We discussed first different Fairytales we knew about. From here there was a table constructed on the IWB which had Noun, Adjective, Verb and Adverb. Students were asked to brainstorm different nouns in Fairytales. Then use Adjectives to describe the nouns. Verbs and then adverbs to describe the verb. Using the **Sparkle fish** app. Students then used the word grammar bank created on the board to guide them in creating an audio story that had the students select their own words to form a silly Fairytale. It prompted them to give an adjective, noun. verb or adverb.====
 * **//__Friends of Ten__//**
 * //__Math activity__//** || ====Students were given a lesson on Friends of ten and had to list all the numbers that make up 10. Eg 5+5, 7 +3 etc. Students then discussed a variety of ways of adding up to 10. Instructions were given that if they added more than two digits more points were given. The app **Mathris** is similar to the game Tetris. Different numbered balls fall. Once highlighted and the total adds up to 10, the balls disappear. A highly engaging game.==== || [[image:ipad2icteducationrevolution/Mathris.PNG width="84" height="78" link="@http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/mathris/id451931523?mt=8"]] ||
 * **//__Rocket Math__//**
 * //__Revision and Math skills__//** || ====Students had for each lesson set a different learning focus and learning intention. There were learning intentions of even numbers when focused on Number. 3D Objects, posters were used to reinforce concepts of 3D Objects such as cube, cones, sphere. **Rocket Math** allowed students to put these skills into practice as they had to identify the focus. It also incoporated money, addition and subtraction skills as students could also earn money using these skills to build new rockets.==== || [[image:ipad2icteducationrevolution/rocket_math.PNG width="91" height="84" link="@http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rocket-math-free/id408770902?mt=8"]] ||
 * **//__Equate it__//**
 * //__Problem Solving__//** || ==== **Equate it** has a variety of algorithms where students then have to select an operation to make the problem correct. It is not timed or scored but a great way for students to revise or practice a mix of operations. Eg 11 ? 5 = 55 The operation is x==== || [[image:ipad2icteducationrevolution/Equate_it.PNG width="87" height="85" link="@http://itunes.apple.com/au/app/equate-it/id430230839?mt=8"]] ||
 * **//__Cinderella iReading interactive__//** || ====Students in pairs read the **Cinderella iReading app** . It allowed a series of choices. Students first had the story read to them by a narrator. Then they could read it on their own. During this pair reading stage students were encouraged to write any words that needed clarification on our word wall. At the end of the first session we had a discussion to the meanings of words on our word wall. They were then able to record themselves reading the story. Teacher made a focus of expressive voice, fluency and volume. A great teaching point. Early finishers could then do the jigsaw puzzle game while waiting for a teacher to listen to their work.====
 * **//__I Have, Who has? Whole Number Team game__//** || ==== **I Have, Who Has?** Is a group Whole number activity. Based on the card math game whereby one student calls out I have 12, Who has 3 x 2. The student who has 6 calls out I have 6 and it continues. There are mutli levels to cater for all different abilities. Some of which allow the students to be timed also. It was really enjoyable to watch the students in teams huddled over the iPad working on Whole Number problem solving skills. This activity helped them to collaborate together to achieve a team score rather than competing against each other. A teaching point that had to be covered in the three classes that used this app was Negative numbers. A numberline was drawn on the board and students were given examples like 4 - 6 = -2. Once they got this concept, they were able to use this in the game situation. Teams were asked to record times and scores as well as the mode they completed the activity in.====
 * ‍‍‍‍‍‍__**//Splice//**__ ‍‍‍‍‍‍ || ====Splice is an advanced audio editing app that allows you to make and edit videos. Students have used this app to fast forward, custom video trim and add photos to create projects. Splice allows you to create and edit videos without the help of a laptop or desktop computer. This is a great app to create projects and slideshows to document and depict detail. Students have used this app to create graduation projects. ====
 * __//**Futaba**//__ || Futaba is a two player game that helps students build language skills. The app has high quality visuals to assist students from non English speaking backgrounds to match the image to the word. Students in the lower primary years will enjoy this app in their classroom. Students in 2S enjoyed using this app as part of literacy rotations.
 * __//**Phonics Tic Tac Toe**//__ || Phonics Tic Tac Toe is a great app for children to practise their knowledge of vowel sounds and syllables. Students can work in pairs to complete the structured activities. Students are able to apply their backround knowledge to work through a series of questions designed to enhance their language skills.
