First Use in Classrooms (iTouch implementation)

The first time students in second and fourth grade used the iTouches, they started with math applications.  Second grade students used Pop Math to work on addition facts.  Fourth grade students are learning decimals and used the Freddy Fraction application.  Students quickly grasped the handling and use of the iTouches.

My role as a teacher was to act as a guide, helping students change settings so the application was at the right level of difficulty. Math was a great way to begin since most of the applications are intuitive and can be adjusted to the student's skill level.
