Creating a Class Book using TuxPaint at Riverside

IPads in the Library and the Classrooms...
Mrs. Marquardt’s 1st graders Use iPads
First graders in Mrs. Marquardt’s class learned the “rules” for taking good care of iPads and practiced using literacy apps such as Storia during their reading time last week with Mrs. D. Many were excited to use an iPad for the first time as they worked in pairs or groups of three in their classroom. Mrs. Marquardt is now checking the library set of iPads out on a regular basis and working directly with Mrs. D. to figure out which apps we can add to them to enhance the curriculum.
