This year, we are following a Discovery Time cycle, where individuals pursue personal interests, passions, and curiosities. IAs began by brainstorming a variety of topics that interest them, topics that pique their curiosity, and even more topics that they hold dear to their heart as a passion. After brainstorming, IAs have decided on one topic and what kind of product they want to create in order to share their interest, wonder, or passion with a larger audience.

G1 IAs are Moving from Learning Apps to Using Apps for Learning
Grade 1 IAs are now on their third year of attending tech training sessions on Wednesday afternoons. In the beginning, there was a lot of time spent on classroom ipad maintenance and care as well as a some app explorations. Training then moved more toward building confidence and competence with the core G1 apps. At the end of last year, G1 IAs were regularly using apps to share learning and create independent projects.
