Some of the children in a reading group today learned how to use an app called word cloud.
This is a fantastic app for children to record key words.
Today the children read a story about husky dogs. I shared some photos of my Aunty who visited some husky puppies and a husky sled team in Alaska last year. We had a chat about huskies.
The children also watched a youtube clip of huskies in action (you can watch this clip below).
With all of this amazing knowledge in their minds, the children worked with a buddy to make a list of key words about huskies.
The children learned how to use the app and also to use the ipad to help with spelling words they were unsure of.
They created some awesome word clouds and learned how to save them to their ipad camera roll so we can share them with our class. I will add photos tomorrow as I have forgotten to bring a cord home tonight!
Tomorrow these children will teach some other children how to use this app.
