Busy in Tech

Kindergarten has been busy in tech this month!  The girls have learned a variety of new iPad skills and apps.  During the first week of school, the girls learned iPad basics (home button, lock key, volume, how to close an app, changing the home and lock screen image) and acceptable use (how to hold and travel with the iPad, rules of use, etc.).  Next, the girls learned how to use the Little Writer app while Google Drive was set up on each iPad.  This year, students will be able to save work to Google Drive.  Information on accessing your daughter's Drive will be coming home in the future so that you can view the work from home!  Finally, the girls learned two more apps:  Scribble My Story and PicPlayPost.  In Scribble My Story, the girls used pre-made templates to complete a book about themselves.  In PicPlayPost, the girls used photos of circles taken during art class to create a 4 picture presentation.
