Peer Teaching with Kid Techxperts

When making iMovies from the first grade field trip to Little India, two students in Mrs. Clark's class were excellent examples of peer teaching and became the Kid Techxperts.  I taught them how to record the Bollywood music from my iPad onto their movie.  Then, while I was working with other students, Woojin and Yoonseo were able to teach their classmates how to record their music.  The next step will be teaching a few Kid Techxperts in Mrs. Derksen's class!

Speak Selection in iBooks

First grade students in Ms. Goldhammer's class learned how to use the 'speak selection' function in the app, iBooks.  After listening to the book about different December holidays, they made a Pic Collage poster about two of the holidays.
