Kindergarten 3 Meets the iPad!

Posted by: Abbie, Kindergarten Teacher

"The iPads are here! The iPads are here!" screamed the children in K3. It was our first day using the new iPads in our classroom. Miss Melissa came in to show us how to use them and especially how to be responsible and safe around them. Miss Melissa showed us how to set the iPad up and where the home button was. We got to slide our fingers back and forth along the screen and were able to find the icons that we were about to use all on our own!

We were able to explore and practise on the touch screen while using Drawing Pad. We also used an application called Alphabet Tracing. We got to practise our printing skills by tracing the letters on the screen. It was much more exciting than using a pencil!

We will be using the iPads during our centre time. We will take turns each day and be able to explore the iPads and the different applications that are on them. Who knew Kindergarten could get any more fun?
