We unpacked the I-Pads today and used six hat thinking to consider
the value of some of the maths apps on our pads. I need to thank Barbara Reid for the idea after her recent visit down South.
The excitement was
high and if I was to measure their success by initial engagement, I
would be off buying a class set.
Once again, my class
did me proud in the way that they reflected seriously about how an app
might help learning. If not themselves, someone else.
The Wow factor of this session was when we wrapped up with a six hat thinking about the pads themselves. I will share their thoughts next week, once we have "played" with them a bit more.
You have made a great start to working out which apps will be good for your learning.

Hi Claire. What a great way to get your kids to evaluate maths apps. I'm looking forward to reading about your findings.
ReplyDeleteWe are just at the stage of thinking about purchasing some for next year so any thoughts from one of my well-respected PLN are very welcome :-)
