How To Keep Students Focused On A Single iPad App - 0 views

  •  
    The new iOS 6 has a very simple and powerful tool called Guided Access that lets you keep students focused on a single app of your choosing. It lets you disable the home button, restrict parts of the screen so they can't be touched, and even stop responding to being turned over and upside down. It's easy to implement and a great tool in the teacher's toolkit. Here's how to do it: How To Use Guided Access Go to SETTINGS then tap GENERAL Toward the bottom, tap ACCESSIBILITY and then go to the LEARNING section Now tap on GUIDED ACCESS and switch it to the ON position Want to set up a passcode?

Story Map - ReadWriteThink - 0 views

  •  
    "The Story Map interactive includes a set of graphic organizers designed to assist teachers and students in prewriting and postreading activities. The organizers are intended to focus on the key elements of character, setting, conflict, and resolution development. Students can develop multiple characters, for example, in preparation for writing their own fiction, or they may reflect on and further develop characters from stories they have read. After completing individual sections or the entire organizer, students have the ability to print out their final versions for feedback and assessment. The versatility of this tool allows it to be used in multiple contexts."
