iPads in Kindergarten

What are some of the best ways to use digital devices with young students? Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano in the Technology & Learning Advisor Blog gives ideas about how students can learn to “do what they could not conceive or accomplish without them [iPads] before.” For kindergarten classrooms, Tolisano offers a sample learning activity in which the apps Doodle Buddy, Skitch, iMovie, and ExplainEverything are used to help students develop cross curricular skills, use critical and creative thinking skills, and gain workflow fluency. Note: If you’d like to learn more about the importance of workflow fluency in the early grades, take a look at Kristi Meeuwse’s post, Workflow and iPads.
