Final Class! Case Studies...after the buzzer

We spent our entire last day presenting our case studies and if there was a Wordle made for the day Co:Writer would be in the biggest and boldest print!  The students selected for the projects are so fortunate to have so much greater access to Literacy- as well as the classroom and resource teachers working with them!  The learning involved in these case studies went far beyond us as students.  

The greatest challenge of the day was beating that 15 minute buzzer, something we were all sure we would do, but then only two were successful at.  But we were a forgiving audience and everyone had the time to share what they needed.  We were fortunate to see many of the programs and apps we learned about in class in action with students, such as:  Starfall, Co:Writer, Word Q, Raz Kids, Tumble Books/Readables (now converted for iPad use), the Preschool University app series, iRewards, and eBooks, as well as some newbies like Math/Word Bingo (just tried them and love them), Literactive, the Fusion Writer, Ginger, Story Wheel and the simultaneously addictive and annoying Monkey Preschool Lunchbox.  


Our reflections were all very honest and whether or not we were all successful in matching the technology with the student and task- this time- we learned key lessons about the attempts.  Thank you Jennifer for sharing the hilarious "Goodnight iPad", a fitting visual for the end of our course!
