We are lucky enough to now have access to 5 i-pods and 5 i-pads across the early years team. Together with Mrs. Kolenberg’s i-pad, i-pod and her phone we have one moblie device between two children. After the excitement of getting them we had to decide what apps to put on for the Reception and Year One classes. Mrs. Kolenberg knew that her teacher friend Ms. Lirenman in Canada had spent a lot of time looking at apps and then shared them with her colleagues around the world via her blog called Learning and Sharing with Ms. Lirenman Thankyou Ms. Lirenman for sharing with us!
So we had a look at those apps and have started to put some of them onto our own devices. Some of my children in Year One helped me find the apps at the App store and together we made folders to put the new apps into. They were a great help. Many thanks to those boys!
We are very keen use these devices and learn from each other.
Here are some photos of the class using all the devices for the first time.
Do you have i-pads and i-pods?
What apps to you like to use?
What are your favourite books to read on the devices?
How exciting! I can’t wait to hear about all the wonderful learning you will do with these devices. You are very lucky! I wish they had ipads and ipods when I was at school!
Wow, there are so many apps to try out, I am so glad you will be able to try them, I can imagine there are going to be lots of you going home and saying, Mum and Dad can you put this app on your phone or i pad. Have fun learning
Wow, I am honoured to be mentioned on your classblog. I can’t wait to start up school again (we are still on summer holidays until Sept 4) so that my new class can meet your class. I hope you are finding some great apps to use. You’ll see that some are only for iPads but many are for both iPods and iPads. What are your favourite apps so far?

Hello Ms.Lirenamn. We have enjoyed using Magic Piano, Story Kit, Glow Draw and Skitch so far. We think the ipads and ipods are great and we can’t wait to laern from them.
Do you use AirServer so that you can use your device remotely onto the whiteboard?
