Objective: First grade students will use Pages to create simple procedural texts
The class will be divided into small groups and each will be assigned an iPad. Students will take turns using the iPad to take pictures of group members participating in a class activity, for example planting seeds in Holmquist's garden. Following the planting activity, groups will use the visual report template in Pages to create their text. They will choose pictures to represent steps in the process to place in the template. Then students will collaborate to create text that tells the steps in the process to accompany their pictures. Using the camera and word processing app on the iPad makes it simple to bring the words and pictures together.
I'm a little bit less clear on getting the content off the iPad at the elementary level. Even when logged in to my eChalk account on the iPad, the only options given when I try to upload a file is taking a picture and uploading an existing picture. I'm not sure how to attach files from the iWork apps. I seem to have the same problem with Blogger and Kidblog. I was not able to log in to my school Google Drive account on the iPad. Maybe Edmodo will work for this, but my account hasn't been set up yet, so I'm not sure.
