In my last post, I decided I was going to focus on finding a meaningful way to incorporate iPads into our math lessons. \u00a0I want to focus on using iPads to share and demonstrate students\u2019 learning in math with the class and the world beyond our four walls.<\/p>\n
Assessment for learning is a buzz term in our district and in education right now.\u00a0 According to the BC draft curriculum for digital literacy<\/a> we are \u201c[moving] toward meaningful descriptions\/collections demonstrations of student learning\u201d (Ministry of Education, 2014).\u00a0 Using iPads for documentation and sharing will allow students an opportunity to reflect on their learning.<\/p>\n In the 21st<\/sup> century students must \u201cdevelop proficiency with the tools of technology,\u201d \u201cdesign and share information for global communities to meet a variety of purposes\u201d and \u201ccreate, critique, analyze and evaluate multimedia texts\u201d (NCTE, 2013).\u00a0 Using iPads to document learning in math will not only develop these skills but it will also allow students to \u201cask questions, work with others to find answers, do real work for real audiences and add to the storehouse of knowledge that the Web is becoming\u201d (Richardson, 2012, p.61).<\/p>\n
