100th day celebration, a set on Flickr.
This would be a wonderful way to share mulitple photos of big events in kindergarten! I could have students take the photos, parents and myself!

Using the Ipad Camera
I am very fortunate this year, because I have several students that are reading and writing at a 1st grade and higher level. Their abilities have allowed me to explore more apps and programs that I wouldn't get to use with most of my students in the limited time that 1/2 day kindergarten allows. One of the apps that I like to use with my higher students is the "Show Me" app. Students can write a sentence or sentences. Then they take the ipad and snap a picture to match the words that they write. For kindergartners, I asked them to find something in the room to write about. I didn't want them wandering the halls just yet :) While the large group of students were practicing sound spelling words that begin with letter of the day, my advanced small group was looking for something in the room that began with that letter, snapping a picture to place as the background, writing a sentence and recording their voice while they wrote. They loved it!
You Tube Playlist
Recently I have created a YouTube playlist. Although I have not had my students access the playlist on their devices, I have found it incredibly useful! In kindergarten, we are always playing songs about letters, counting by 5's, or videos of pictures books to help our students remember. Typically I have the songs imported in the flipcharts that we use and then I am searching for them, or I've pinned them on pinterest. I can have YouTube opened & signed in and I can quickly pull up songs/videos through out the day and with kindergarten, the less "wait time" the better ;)
