iTunes U Self Assessment and iPad Digital Skills Chart

Record of Achievement

I have been thinking about assessing children's skills on the iPads and have created a simple record of achievement for children. This is very much a first draft, but I thought I would share it as it can be tweaked to suit your school and pupils. The document is printed as an A5

  • booklet. For older children, I will

consider creating an online document that they can update, but for now this will do. If you find this useful, or if you have suggestions about how to improve, please let me know!

Task: The idea would be to think of all

  • f the components and words that

make up a shape. For example, the following words could be associated with an isosceles right triangle: leg, right angle, height, base, hypotenuse, acute angle, triangle, etc… Students would generate a list of vocabulary words (Notes app). These words would then be used to describe a shape and then illustrate the shape given those words.

QR Codes

QRafter Pro

Try this QR Code Scanning, making them and how can they be used?

Book Reviews - QR codes are created for specific books, linking to reviews, trailers or additional resources. QR Code Orienteering or Scavenger Hunts - Create an orienteering course where each checkpoint is a QR code. As students check-in (scan the code) the virtual treasure map will unfold, with each code being a clue to find the

  • next. This is a really good way to

combine technology with a bit of physical exercise and problem solving skills.. Multimedia Content - A popular use for QR codes in education is to add multimedia content to hard copy pages. It is kind of like a stepping stone on our way to fully digitized textbooks and worksheets. QR Codes On School Equipment - Tutorials and information etc.
