The  iPad  Integration  Workshop  @  Youngstown  City  Schools  August  30,  2013  Melissa  Ustik,  M.S.,  CCC-­‐SLP  [email protected]    iMovie  –  “A  Year  of  iPad  Integration”    iPad  App  Rubric:            http://kathyschrock.net/pdf/evalipad_creation_final.pdf    What  do  you  think  makes  a  great  app?    http://learninginhand.com/blog/ways-­‐to-­‐evaluate-­‐educational-­‐apps.html    Common  Core  App  by  Mastery  Connect    Let’s  evaluate  the  following  apps  using  the  rubric  and  tell  what  standard  would  they  link  to.      What  kind  of  goal  could  you  work  on  with  the  app.  Jumbled  Sentences  4  Photowall  HD  Toca  Boca  Monster  Kitchen  Sentence  Maker  Free  Things  That  Go  Together  Action  Words  Alligator  Apps  TinkerBox  Story  Spine  ScrapPad  Doodle  Buddy    OT  Find  it-­‐Match  it  My  Mosaic      Choosing  an  App:  Work  Backwards  1.    Outcome:    What  are  do  you  want  the  learning  outcome  to  be?  Common  Core  Standard?  2.    Product:    What  do  you  want  the  student  to  create  to  show  what  they  know?  3.    App:    What  app  can  be  used  to  meet  the  needs  of  1  and  2?  

   Focus  on  the  learning  outcome/standard  (what  can  students  actually  do)  then  work  backwards.  ……  Example:      Goal:    I  want  the  students  to  show  that  they  know  the  difference  between  3  kinds  of  angles  (right  ,  obtuse  and  acute)  and  can  identify  them  in  the  real  world.  Outcome:  Produce  a  short  video  drawing  the  angles  while  describing  them  and  then  show  pictures  from  the  real  world  and  drawing  the  angles  in  to  the  pictures  while  describing  them  App  to  use:    Educreations  (free).        Goal:    I  want  my  students  to  identify  (by  pointing  or  verbally  naming)  kitchen  appliances    based  upon  a  description  of  its  function.  Outcome:    Student  will  point  to  the  appliance  given  the  choice  of  3  pictures  after  hearing  a  brief  description  of  its  function.  App  to  Use:    Bitsboard  (free).    Choose  from  a  catalogue  of  predetermined  boards  or  easily  create  your  own  custom  board.      A  great  analogy:  Greg  Kulowiec  wrote  in  his  article  “Ipads  are  Like  Hammers”:  Start  with  the  end  goal  in  mind,  the  inspiration,  the  challenge  and  then  determine  if  an  iPad  can  be  used  to  effectively,  not  to  teach  new  content  to  students,  but  to  allow  them  to  achieve  the  end  goal.    To  demonstrate  their  learning  and  share  that  understanding  with  their  peers,  a  broader  audience  and  even  potentially  the  world.”  He  says  that  a  contractor  does  not  look  at  a  hammer  and  immediately  has  a  vision  of  what  the  house  he  wants  to  build  but  rather  he  looks  at  a  house  and  draws  inspiration  from  that  to  complete  his  end  goal.    The  same  is  true  for  iPads…..the  product  that  can  be  created  is  the  end  goal,  the  iPad  is  the  tool  that  will  help  you  get  there  just  like  the  hammer  is  tool  that  will  help  you  get  to  the  end  goal  of  building  a  new  house.      Where  in  the  World  are  the  Apps?  Where  to  find  apps:  1.    Google  Search  2.    App  Store  3.    List.ly  4.    Scoop.it  5.    App  of  the  Day  6.    Networking  with  others  (Tri-­‐county  iPad  User  Group  called  Appy  Hour)  7.    Pintrest  8.    www.techchef4u.com    How  do  you  find  your  apps?    

 Show  What  You  Know  Apps  Videolicious  Puppet  Pals  Educreations  ScreenChomp  ShowMe  Scrap  Pad  Corkulous  Pic  Collage      Cheap  is  Good  But  Free  Is  Better:    Free  Apps  

       This  app  allows  you  to  create  a  page  with  photos  and  text.    The  best  part  is  that  you  can  trace  with  your  finger  around  the  picture  to  “cut  it  out”  and  then  the  pictures  can  be  layered  on  top  of  each  other.    The  page  is  dynamic,  can  be  edited  and  automatically  saves.    5  Ways  to  integrate  it  into  the  curriculum:1.    Science:  Extended  Standards:    

       

Pic  Collage  

Have  the  student  choose  a  biome  (let’s  say  desert).    Have  them  go  to  Safari  and  Google  “desert”.  Have  the  student  save  the  picture  to  the  camera  roll  then  open  Pic  Collage  and  set  the  picture  of  the  desert  as  the  background.    Next,  go  back  to  Safari  and  find  6  animals  that  live  in  the  biome:  2  that  fly;  2  that  crawl  and  2  that  run  or  hop  and  save  the  images  to  the  camera  roll.    Open  pic  collage  and  bring  the  animals  into  the  picture;  cut  around  out  and  place  them  within  the  picture.  Bring  up  the  text  tool  and  label  each  animal.    Here  you  are  hitting  the  language  concepts  of  verbs,  identification/vocabulary.    

 2.      Career  Study:    Researching  a  Vocation/Career                

         3.    Language  Arts:    Identifying  the  Problem/Solution:    2nd  grade  

   

Take  a  picture  from  a  book  you’ve  read  to  the  students  in  this  case  Steven  Kellogg’s  “The  Missing  Mitten  Mystery”.    Have  them  create  posters  about  the  problem  and  solution.    They  could  also  create  an  alternative  ending.    

After  taking  an  interest  inventory,  the  students  realistically  determine  their  top  3  choices  of  jobs  then  go  on  the  bureau  of  labor  statistics  website  and  find  the  following  data:      mean  yearly  income;  type  and  years  of  schooling  needed;  job  outlook.    The  students  then  take  the  information  and  create  a  poster  with  the  information  collected.    

4.    Sorting  and  Categorizing:                

     

 How  would  use  the  Pic  Collage  App?      

Since  this  app  is  dynamic  meaning  you  can  move  and  manipulate  objects  it’s  great  to  use  as  both  a  teaching  and  then  as  an  quick  pre  and  post  assessment  tool.    I  used  it  with  my  MH  students  to  teach  what  food  items  would  go  in  the  refrigerator  or  cupboard.    Download  a  bunch  of  food  items  to  your  camera  roll  and  add  them  to  your  collage  then  have  the  student  sort  and  move  the  food  items  under  the  pictures  of  the  fridge  and  cupboards.    When  you  are  ready  to  reassess  or  use  it  with  another  student,    just  mix  up  the  pictures  of  the  items  and  slide  them  down  to  the  bottom  of  the  page.    

5.    Vocabulary:    Illustrate  a  concept  or  vocabulary  word  through  a  collage  of  pictures  with  text  such  as  recycling,  chemical/physical  reactions,  sustainability,  preposition  concepts,  quantity  concepts  in  the  kitchen  (teaspoon,  Tablespoon,  Cup,  etc.)  

   

     With  this  app  you  can  turn  yourself  or  others  into  puppets  or  with  the  Director’s  Pass  you  are  supplied  with  many  character  sets  such  as  “farm,  space,  pirates,  presidents,  political  figures,  talk  show  hosts,  aliens,  Christmas,  zombies”  and  several  others  with  up  to  5  changeable  backgrounds.    You  can  then  create  and  record  a  puppet  show  with  the  puppets  moving  them  and  you  talking  for  them.      5  Ways  to  integrate  it  into  the  curriculum:  1.    Social  Stories  -­‐  Let’s  say  you  have  a  student  that  has  a  difficult  time  transitioning  from  the  computer  back  to  her  desk  and  has  a  melt  down  every  time  the  timer  goes  off  to  do  so.    Well,  with  Puppet  Pals  you  can  take  a  picture  of  the  student  and  turn  her  into  a  puppet,  take  a  picture  of  the  computer  and  one  of  her  desk  then  create  a  puppet  show  social  story  showing  how  to  correctly  transition.  2.    Interview  a  Leader:    After  studying  the  3  forms  of  government:  monarchy,  dictatorship  and  democracy,  students  pick  a  leading  figure  from  one  of  them  and  create  5  questions  they  would  want  to  ask  the  leader.    They  get  a  picture  of  the  leader,  take  a  picture  of  themselves  and  turn  themselves  and  the  leader  into  a  puppet.    The  students  then  pair  up  with  one  being  the  interviewer  and  the  others  being  the  leader.  3.    This  Day  in  History:    Pick  a  character  or  two  from  back  in  the  day  and  have  them  talk  about  what  life  was  like.    Pick  time  period  backgrounds.      Some  ideas:  October  24,  1929  (the  Great  Stock  Market  Crash),  the  first  Thanksgiving,  July  16,  1969-­‐  First  man  on  the  moon.  4.    Create  a  Public  Service  Commercial:    Have  the  students  draw  robots  created  from  recycled  parts,  take  a  picture  of  them  and  turn  them  into  puppets.    Create  a  commercial  about  the  importance  of  recycling  using  the  robot  puppets  as  spokesmen.  5.    Weather  Reporter:    Kids  can  turn  themselves  into  puppets  or  use  a  character  and  create  a  weather  report  puppet  show.    Save  the  show  and  broadcast  it  through  the  school’s  TV  monitors.
