Innovate and Mobilize
Your K-5 Math Classroom
Too often we teach our past …
… instead of facilitating our
learners’ futures.

How do we make
the transition?

Webinar Focus Pedagogy: Teaching and Learning
NOT the Technology
technology is the
NOT the
Technology, BY ITSELF,
can not create 21st Centurylearning environments…
but it CAN be a powerful leverage for change.
Webinar Focus The use of mobile technologies to:
foster active, participatory learning
increase student engagement in the
learning process
create exciting,
empowering,
exploratory,
student-centered
learning environments
Exploring Potentials
iPads won’t replace computers or other classroom
tools
But, look at the possibilities:
Many apps support multiple learning styles
iPads and apps:
present visual, auditory, and kinesthetic data
provide a tactile interface
provide media-friendly learning experiences
motivate student to learn more on their own
Apps, Apps, and More Apps
Number of apps is growing exponentially
How do you find educational apps?
How do you find GOOD educational apps?
How do you organizeyour apps?

Kathy Schrock’s Critical
Evaluation of a Content-
Based App
Learning environments should prepare
students to: Communicate using a variety of media and formats;
Access and exchange information in a variety of ways;
Compile, organize, analyze, and synthesize
information;
Draw conclusions and make generalizations based on
information gathered;
Become self-directed learners; and
Collaborate and cooperate in team efforts.

Critique
C6 Model
To what extent does an app allow students and teachers to: Create (write, draw, make movies, make music, etc.);
Connect (reach out and connect with others locally or globally, F2F or virtually);
Communicate (talk with others, share ideas, publicize creations, etc.);
Collaborate (work, write, draw, brainstorm with others);
Contextualize (view from a more global context, relate one idea with another, relate one content area with another, see interrelationships); and
Critique (think critically about issues or ideas; evaluate relevance, reliability, credibility, authority, or accuracy).

My presentation used Apple devices
Most apps are available for Android devices
My bias toward free or very inexpensive skewed my list
This list will be ever changing – probably expanding
