DESIGNING CATAPULTS WITH IPADS and SHOW ME APP

Mrs. Chedsey's class researched catapult information while designing their own catapult.
Students accessed the curriculum activity page that Mrs. Chedsey set up on their class website. This page had pre-picked links to information about catapults that students could open to do their research as they designed, tested, and redesigned. (Making these prearranged curriculm research pages for your students to access will ensure your students are using authentic sites for their research.)
Once they had their final product, they used the SHOW ME APP to make a mini slide show with pictures, videos, and sound to explain their process and creation.

Here they are in action:

SHOW ME is also a good app to make tutorials / how tos or create and share your lessons for kids to use on their own

GO NOODLE

2nd grade exercised their right vote through a GoNoodle video. GoNoodle is a great way to get kids moving and active while they learn at the same time. It's a win win for all
