With the thousands of educational apps now available, students need to be given a purpose for using the various iPad Apps available. Some apps are informational while other apps are interactive. The children need to have a reason to use the app to get the most out of the instructional activity. For that reason, I spent a lot of time this weekend creating subject based activity and project pages to use with a variety of educational apps. In the classroom, we will be creating folders for our iPad activity sheets. Each sheet has a place for the students to record data about their interaction with the app, or perform research on a subject using the app. I am confident the app activity booklet will help guide the students' independent learning while using the iPads. Below, I've included a link to my school web page that has the PDF activity sheets for ELA Game Apps, Native American Research and Project, and Life Science Research.

I hope you find the app activity sheets helpful! Have a great week!
