iPads in the Primary classroom


Hello,

I have started my blog in Septembre 2012. For the first time I am using my iPad to teach Spanish in a primary school in London. All classteachers will have an ipad too. Exciting!

I asked for help and Nicky Hockly gave me directions! This is what she
recommended:

    1. A detailed description of a project that used Voice Thread on iPads in a primary classroom, and from the same blog, how to create a visual dictionary on the iPad – in Spanish:  dictionary

Understand assessment criteria for reaching best results. For instance, the information a student generates must be relevant to the topic or task they are performing in Spanish. Students tend to provide information that is not relevant. The reason for this is that students feel they need to keep talking/writing: more words more marks. The criteria for assessment makes it clear: more irrelevant information lower marks. 2. TIME RESTRICTIONS: Understanding that you do have time to perform the task. Because students feel under pressure there is no detailed planning when writing a piece of work. Therefore, the language usually is very poor in the first paragraphs.
