Ways we have used the wireless devices this fall

Since the beginning of school, the students who have brought in a wireless device have found multiple ways to use them to their advantage. Here is a list of ways the childrne have used their devices:

• word processing
• definition quick look up 
• author look up prior to reading a picture book about Jackie Robinson
• inflation convertor (a babysitter was paid $.30 in 1947. What would that be in 2011?)
• Chinese New Year Webhunt
• A student left a packet at home and typed the answers on the ipad. She had the answers and went home to write them in the packet that night ot get caught up.
• Qwiki.com
• images of Jackie Robinson
• Timer 
• note taking
• easy bib in Google Docs on device, while creating a research project on laptop form school
• Google Docs to save an assignment that was worked on in class- the child was able to then work on it at home that night
