Some of the fractions and multiplication question QR code questions. The year 5 and 6 students in Mrs Landsbury's class had the opportunity to apply their fractions and multiplication skills a Maths quiz with a difference using the iPads from the 1:1 iPad kit. Using QR codes created by their teacher using QRstuff on the web, the students tested themselves using their iPad to self assess and independently revise their skills. The students were honest, engaged and self directed during the quiz. Mrs Landsbury had not seen a Maths quiz like it before!

Scripting a summary and breaking down poems line by line Shooting the summary and each line of the poem as an individual video in camera app on the iPad Using props and effects to enhance the horror genre of the poem. In Mrs Allen's class the Year 3 and 4 students used the drafts of their scary halloween poems to create videos of read-aloud of their poems. First, they deconstructed the poem in their writing books checking that rhyming conventions and appropriate adjectives were used. Then they practiced reading with voice. The students then learned how to shoot and edit video in the camera app on the iPad. Finally, they used props and effects to record their poem read-aloud. The atmosphere was like Halloween!
