We are growing

From 4 now to 6. What a huge difference with learning when there is so much time to spend on so few!! Smaller classes please...whoever may be listening!

It keeps getting better

When this adventure began 2 years ago, in 2014, I took each step of iPad introduction slowly and designed activities with caution... I didn't want to overload the students. I look back and chuckle. How times have changed! This year I began on the second day taking photos in Explain Everything, embedding these, re-sizing them, using the pencil and colour tools. Each day the expectations have been so much higher than when I started out. I'm now going through every Explain Everything design (especially in reading) recreating and increasing the work expectation. I'm adding on more slides,  voice instructions and cleaning up the visual effects. A continual work in progress to increase and promote higher expectations in our students.

New Year and New Entrants!

This week we started back... 4 days in and 4 students! Let the games begin!!
