Grade 2 Matter Posters

Today, 2C students shared what they have learned about solid matter by creating posters with the Strip Designer app. Each student worked with a partner to select four photos from the internet, save them to the iPad's photo library, and import the photos into a Strip Designer template. Students included their names inside of a text box, a title, and a speech bubble containing one fact about solids. Students personalized their posters by changing the fonts and colours. 

One aspect I forgot to anticipate was the iPad's dictionary getting in the way of what students wanted to say.  In the future, I will need to decide whether or not to turn off the auto-correct feature.  This can be done by navigating to:

1. Settings -> General -> Keyboard

2. Auto-Correction -> OFF
