It's important for learners to have sandbox time to explore the features of new apps. I also think learning little tips can help spark new ideas for creativity. 30 Days of Keynote is a self-paced learning series for both teachers & students. #AppleEDUchat https://t.co/E8bxHoiC1K

One of our 1st grade classes had an awesome Mystery Number math skype w/ a 1st grade class in a different state this morning. Each class picked their own number & asked ?s to figure out the answer. Ss asked wonderful questions and we used our 100s chart. #dg58learns

Primary students went on a math photo scavenger hunt during our EXPLORE class last week. We used iPads to capture photos of examples. We had a lot of teachable moments during our scavenger hunt! :) #dg58learns https://t.co/NFygx0jl2F https://t.co/de1MlrFN4F

1st graders practiced for our “Mystery Number Skype” next week. We are excited to connect with 1st graders in another state. We practiced asking ?s that would help determine the mystery number. The interactive 100s chart helped to narrow down our guess. #dg58learns #LearnLAP

In both primary and intermediate EXPLORE classes, we read math picture books (Pizza Counting and One is a Snail, Ten is a Crab) & had an activity connected to the stories. I designed a Michigan shaped pizza and used feet to count to 72 for my examples. #dg58learns

In our “Marvelous Math” class during EXPLORE week, we played different versions of “I have...Who has...” in both primary and intermediate classes. #dg58learns

Our first graders did an excellent job using answers from our mystery Skype class to determine which state they live in. We just connected with them to reveal our guess. Both classes were correct! Success! #dg58learns #dg58lrcs @kcoleman876
