Applying Apple Teacher Knowledge:
Reading Centers With Onboard iPad Apps
Reading Centers With Onboard iPad Apps
1. Place iPads next to books in planned locations around the room or at the center. Have students use the Camera to take a picture of the page in the book that they are reading, and then record themselves reading it over the image with iMovie. Students can email this to you or upload to Google Classroom after exporting to camera roll. You now have a way to assess students for fluency and decoding.
2. Have students work in groups to create a set of flashcards for vocabulary words using Keynote. Students can then take screen shots of the keynote slides and place them into iMovie. Digital flashcards allow students to add their own audio recording as well as images in order to illustrate the words.
3. Place a series of objects on a table that illustrates spelling words that the students should know. Have the students use Keynote to create slides where they type the word as a caption for each photo. This activity could be expanded for older students who may have to also include definitions and parts-of-speech for vocabulary terms. iMovie would be another option for this project. Students could then create a weekly summative video of items they created in Keynote. This would show you progress.
4. Think of this idea as Pictionary in reverse. Instead of giving students words and having them illustrate them, ask students to write as many words as they can associate with the image. Give each student a slide in a Google Drive folder with an image to describe. Each student would then be provided with a set amount of time to write as many words as possible to describe the image. Rotate each child through the file. Students could correct the person ahead of them, and each image could be differentiated to allow students to succeed at their own level.
5. Ask students to use PAGES, Keynote or Google Slides to create their own reading skills and strategies books. For each skill or strategy that you list, they need to include an image as well as a writing prompt. Then have students exchange books so as to complete the writing prompts. This would take some training for sure but could be great for HA students to make the prompts for other students.
