Students use educational technologies to apply knowledge to new situations, analyze information, collaborate, solve problems, and make decisions. I have been fortunate to work at schools that have had both iPads and laptops available for student use. In Mathematics, we made great use of the Mathletics website subscription. In various French Second Language classes, students used French learning apps as anchor activities, researched given topics online, and used Google Translate in lieu of a French-English dictionary.
Students had fun learning using QR codes for scavenger hunt clues, creating Popplets, writing emails to pen pals in France, created movies and fashion shows with their iPads, and much, much more in their options of telling me how they wanted to both learn and demonstrate their learning.
