TEXAS!!
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to San Antonio, Texas for a weekend to attend the International Reading Convention. Myself, 3 other teachers, and Mrs. Sovereign were in attendance. What did we learn? Well I was able to bring back to the classroom several need strategies, iPad apps, and computer program information. Our class has already completed many new activities to help aid their comprehension as well as Web 2.0 skills! Here is an example of one new project:
We used the iPad app "Croak.it" to make book reviews!
Download a QR Code Reader onto your Smart Phone, iPad, Kindle, or other device! Scan the QR Code to hear our reviews!
