Tool: Camera

When teaching in my second placement with second graders, I also introduced them slowly to using the iPads in the classroom. Below will be a picture a student took during our Butterfly unit. Each day a different studnet would take a picture of our caterpillars to see how they were changing (we now have 5 out of 6 that have come out as butterflies!), then all the students would draw a daily butterfly watch drawing in a packet for the week from the picture taken using the iPad. I would project this image on the SmartBoard. It was a great way to slowly incorporate my second graders first time using the iPads in the classroom and getting down foundational rules, such as the ones listed in the post previous to this one.
