Kicking off 2016!

Happy New Year!  The 2015-2016 school year is filling up with wonderful work on mobile devices!  The Tech ICs would like to share some of the great things we have seen in the DLC classrooms.

Teachers have been using both Edmodo and Google Classroom as workflow solutions.  In Edmodo, teachers are using Moby Max for differentiated learning in math and ELA.   In both Google Classroom and Edmodo, students are having online discussions, creating reading response journals and book reviews, and collaborating with their peers.  Students are using mobile devices to work in the Apple apps, such as Pages, Keynote, and iMovie to "show what they know."  The Google apps, such as Docs, Sheets, and Slides, have been used across all school levels to promote the 4 Cs: creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.  We have seen elementary students screen casting using Educreations and Screencastify!  Elementary through highschool students have been demonstrating their learning through podcasts using Voice Recorder Pro on iPads and Vocaroo on Chromebooks.  There are even some teachers that are dabbling in the implementation of blended learning and flipped classrooms.

We are looking forward to seeing the amazing things DLC teachers and students create on their mobile devices in the new year!
