I'll have to check it out. How exciting that you just got a class set of iPads. I've been piloting 1:1 in my classroom this past year and we've learned so much and had a lot of fun (also learned what I won't do! haha). If you ever have any questions or want to collaborate on something, let me know. :-)Katie Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218690841575984870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167917079509199769.post-17849072317279802732013-02-09T10:56:59.832-08:002013-02-09T10:56:59.832-08:00I saw your post and it reminded me of what I am do...I saw your post and it reminded me of what I am doing right now in geometry. We are also doing a mini unit on quadrilaterals. The students also create something similar to what you have done...they create a chart with the name of the shape, a picture of the shape, the properties and characteristics of the shape and a definition. It works really well to reinforce the concepts. What I do differently from you, and what I thought you might like to explore is that the technology I use is called Geometer's Sketchpad. You can download it from their website and try it out. Our school just got a class set of Ipads but I don't know if there is an version for the Ipad yet. If you have never used GSP you might want to check it out!<br />http://www.keycurriculum.com/download-free-preview-of-sketchpadMs.M from Teachingisagifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10482334866440146334noreply@blogger.com
