Dictionary 20.14

During Flex Reading today, there were four people absent from school and four others in the computer lab taking or finishing up their MAP Reading and MAP Math testing from earlier in the week. Half the class is not the best day to "teach" a lesson. So we picked up the iPad cart (beginning to REALLY love this cart of tools) and brought it into class.

Ms. Leom quickly modeled how to use the Notes App and look up words, and we were off and learning!

Another amazing benefit of iPads, using iPads to look up definitions takes half the time as using a dictionary. Many times, we may have to check one or even two dictionaries for our word. The iPad also automatically searches for correct spellings, which speeds up the process too!
