Last week I tested the use of iPad at English lessons. Thanks to Apcom who lent me 5 iPads (3 Mini and 2 iPad 4), Nearpod which gave me opportunity to synchronise mobile devices and run the lessons smoothly and efficiently, Solkan Primary School pupils and teachers and Secondary School students and their teacher.
The first lesson was at Solkan Primary School grade 3. Young learners for the first time learned English and used iPads in the classroom. It was fun. The topic was "Let's count to 10". We learned by listening, writing, reading and playing. The songs helped us a lot. We used also some useful free Apps connected to numbers.
The second try-out happened at Secondary school (grade 10 and 11 ). The lesson was about travelling by air. Students listened to airport announcements, watched the video, read about the procedure at the airport and created a mind-map on the topic and posted it in Lino. I also created webpage on the topic with listening, reading and interactive exercises that can be used by mobile devices too. (Travelling by air)
Both, pupils and students evaluated the lessons as interesting,active and worth doing. They expressed the wish to experience more such lessons in future.
More about this at the end of April.
