This is how one of my 3rd grade small groups integrated technology with the iPad.

We did a lesson which included a small passage about beavers. The students enjoyed the text & were asking questions about different beaver facts. I decided to use the next lesson as both my Instructional Shift Lesson & an extended lesson on Beavers. We read a few different texts about beavers. We found information to deepen our learning about beavers & answer our “wonderings” using evidence from the text. After researching different topics the students wrote & sketched their new learning. We then used the Explain Everything App on the iPad to organize our work, create oral presentations & then uploaded our project into a video presentation.
