1. Directed Drawings with Skype
During the month of February, we would love to Skype with your students and help them draw something unique in honor of Presidents' Day or Groundhog Day! We will show them where we are located (this could vary), and explain to them how Skype can allow us to communicate all over the world! If you're new to Skype, this is a stress-free and easy opportunity to practice. All your students will need is a blank piece of paper and a pencil! Even if you've never Skyped, don't worry!
Drawings can include a groundhog, George Washington (shown right), or Abraham Lincoln.
These can easily be turned into a Chatterpix and/or posted in Seesaw then, too!
2. PBS Kids
If you've been searching for quality videos to introduce, explain, or enrich a topic, you definitely want to check this out! WHYY and PBS have curated FREE, standards-aligned videos, interactives, lesson plans, and more just for teachers! Search by content or grade level!
Here is a great iPad tip! Show your students how to close all open tabs in Safari. First, click the squares shown in picture 1. Nextr, hold down the "done" button in tab view to close all tabs!
