Science and Social Studies iPad MIXED REVIEW

Above is a snapshot of a much longer iPad review. The students had an awesome time with this simple assignment because they were allowed to choose ANY iPad app, use their notes, the internet, and the textbook to answer the questions, and be as creative as they wanted! It was a very successful idea! I am proud!

Social Studies Card Game ***FUN Test Prep***

I created very basic cards with PASS-like questions for my 5th graders to use this week as they prepare for next week's Social Studies test. I will be printing these on card stock and placing the answers on the back.

Even though they are bland, you are more than welcome to leave a comment for the Word Doc with these and more questions.

World War II told through COMICS

I created these comics,
based on my SC standards.

I used the iPad app
"COMIC STRIP."

My children were very
engaged and enjoyed the
lesson.

The next day, they were able
to use a similiar app for the
next standard.

The Roaring Twenties...Social Studies in 2013...

This is the powerpoint that I use to help my 5th graders understand the 1920's. I am starting this next week and they will have the chance to create some foldables and popplets with their iPads.

 
If anyone is interested in this ppt, respond with your email address and I would be glad to forward it to you!
