Gearing Up for a New School Year!

It's really hard to believe that summer is over. I am not sure where the time went, but we are now into the 2013-2014 school year. I started the school year off presenting an "Ignite" session at the back to school teacher institute day. I presented on the app Show Me, which I use a lot with my kindergarten students. I hope I sparked interest in at least one person that day.

This week, I have been meeting with my new kindergarten students and families. Our first day is Friday, and many of them seem eager to start school. I can't wait to see what we do with our iPads this year. As I spoke with the parents about the 1:1 program in BSD100, I started to think about what new things I could try with my new class. The families asked about the iPads and how we use them, and they seemed pretty amazed at what a kindergarten student can do. I am excited for my new students to share all of the wonderful things they are doing with their devices once we get into using them throughout the year. 

I am even incorporating a bulletin board just for the iPads...

 Here's to (hopefully) many more blog posts this year!
