Gilbert Elementary has always been a school know for its use of technology in the classroom. This year, Mr. Hayes and Mr. Harris continue that tradition. The school purchased several new iPads. Students have been using them for research in both the media center and the library. Mr. Lemons chose apps (applications) that would allow students to practice basic skills and supplement our classroom instruction.
I was pleasantly surprised on Monday morning when Mr. Lemons stopped by my classroom with three iPads! He explained that we were beginning to "roll" them out to the classroom so that students would have more access to them and teachers could utilize them as well. I was so excited!
Yesterday, we used the iPads in the classroom for the first time! We practiced our addition facts with an app called Pop Math. It was a blast! Check out our photos!
