How will you use this
resource to meet the needs of your instructional purposes?
I would use this resource to teach upper and lower case
matching of letters. Our
Kindergarteners work on letter recognition and this tool will aid them in learning
how to identify matches visually and audibly. This resource is easy to use and after being taught, can be
used independently for review and reinforcement.
Why is this medium appropriate for the lesson?
I believe this is most appropriate because it can be both
guided learning and independent learning.
The interest level in using iPads in Kindergarten is high. So using this app would create interest
simply because it is on the iPad.
In addition to that, the ease of use and ability to succeed is high for
every learner.
What directions or
tech support will you provide students before the lesson to focus learning and
adapt this resource for your instructional resources?
As stated in my review, I would provide a guided whole group
instruction lesson to support the tech lesson. This would teach the scholars to know what to expect in the
lesson and also set the level of expectation for the activity.
What are the potential
problems, either language based or technical, that you may need to troubleshoot
to prepare for?
I would need to make sure that the app is running on each
iPad (potential technical issue) before the lesson is taught. Also, there is the opportunity for
lower level learners to get frustrated with the content of the lesson (language
based issue). In this case, I
would use my TA to run a small group outside of the large group, which would be
a little more controlled.
