Today was fun and draining in the blog world. I continued my 3rd grade I/E students. They were able to quickly get back in and navigate to the same post as yesterday. I had them commenting on my comments to them, so each student had a sub post attached to the main post. They refined their thinking and gave more explanation today. It was successful.
I also started the 5th grade project, we got off to a rocky start. We couldn't get into a lab so we grabbed the ipads and started the process. It was rocky, more rocky than the 3rd graders from the day before. Partly because I was working with 3 times as many 5th graders then 3rd, and partly because the group of 3rd graders were in an extension period and were more focused. The 5th graders had just come back from recess and were not focused. I had the same screen as they did on the board but they couldn't navigate the app well. 6 told me they didn't have it on their screens, even though it was in the very center of their screens. This was a good learning experience for this project. Next time we will start on the computer when the screens show where to go better.
