I have two sets of examples to post today. The first one I had blogged about several weeks ago on the presentation tools section of this blog. It is called Face on Coin Booth. Mrs. Sibert invited me into her class knowing she was going to cover decimals involving money. This provided a great opportunity to use Face on Coin since it was a really obvious application. Here we had students take their own picture, write the sentence "decimals separate dollars and cents," and write three different ways to write a cents amount. Check it out for yourself:
I also picture this application useful in areas such as writing character traits, telling import parts in a chapter, or even recording quick facts that were learned about a topic. I like to think of this app as a good one for quick projects to share knowledge and understanding. It is without a doubt not for upper level thinking, but it does make for a more engaging experience in the classroom.
Another set of examples is from Mrs. Abbs' first grade classroom. Her students used the stickers in Pic Collage to demonstrate subtraction story problems. I hadn't even thought of using the objects that were already available in Pic Collage for the math manipulatives.
