IMOVIE
We used iMovie with a Grade 3 buddy class as part of
their Fractured Fairy Tales activity. Students wrote
original stories and then we invited them to create book
trailers to entice their peers to read them. Our process:
*review existing Book Trailers on Youtube
*co-create criteria for a successful book trailer
*use a Story Map to plan 6 frames with images, sounds
and narration
*record an introduction in Green Screen in front of a
background that illustrates the story theme.
*assemble all frames into one movie project and compare
against success criteria.
When using any digital recording app, issues of
protection and privacy should be discussed with
students.
PROJECT OUTCOMES
Martin created a survey to collect students' appraisals of the Synergy Project.
All 29 students participated. A summary of their responses:
1. Most students preferred the Book Creator app.
2. The iPads were accessible, easy to use and made learning fun.
3. Overall, students found the iPads to be a useful learning tool. 4. Students told us this is what they liked about having iPads in the classroom: ~voice to text ~vocabulary studies ~dictionary apps ~ease of access (don't have to leave the class to use a computer) ~makes learning fun ~connecting with portfolios 5. We asked students if they had any other suggestions for our iPad implementation: ~add math games ~make sure Word works properly ~less instruction; just let us try things out ~make sure people are using the iPads for serious learning not just being entertained--other people are waiting to use them ~more small group instruction ~divide the class and let one person use an iPad while someone else is doing their math or something and then switch

TECH TOOL SPOTLIGHT
PicCollage
We started our iPad app explorations with PicCollage,
directing students' creative energies toward the creation
of posters illustrating our rules for iPad handling. You
can see sample posters on p. 3 of our report.
Pic Collage is an app that can be easily integrated into any
curriculum. Students can combine photos, Youtube
videos, fonts, stickers, and cutouts to create collages. They
can also save and print completed collages or share on
social media.
Remind students of fair use when using Internet
images for their PicCollage creations. The "Visual
Communication Guy" has fair use guidelines on
his site. (Click the lightbulb to view.)
Project Challenges
Martin's class is very action-oriented, with
students designing, creating, working on
hands-on projects, exploring the forest, cutting
down ivy and scotch broom, raising fish
and planting native shrubs. We thought the

these processes and write about our learning,

TECH TOOL SPOTLIGHT EXPLAIN EVERYTHING This was by far the most difficult app to teach and use. It is loaded with features, which made it a really promising choice for older students' increasingly sophisticated projects. Unfortunately, we lost many of the features when our trial subscription ended. We didn't realize that we had to be in another mode to keep additional functionalities and, without all the cool tools, students lost interest in using this app. As teachers gain more experience with Explain Everything, and share their own multi-media presentations with students, it could eventually overtake Powerpoint as the presentation medium of choice. Everyone on the team needs more time and experience with this app. Remind students to respect and protect intellectual property, and to be mindful of creating a positive digital footprint.
PROJECT SUCCESSES New technologies and evolving methods of communication and sharing drive expanding understandings of literacy in today's classroom. This reality has made the acquisition and demonstration of strong literacy skills more important than ever. Exploring and connecting various ways of knowing is part of the process of personalizing learning and involves embracing new literacies and skills. Martin's students communicated their hands-on learning through iPad documentation and sharing. They have been using technology in a completely unique fashion and mastering a highly specialized vocabulary along the way. Browsing the iPad projects students have created reveals the extent of French language learning that occurs alongside their creative endeavours. While the iPads may have been an encumbrance during hands-on activities, they were a powerful tool for creating texts to share these experiences with others.

TECH TOOL SPOTLIGHT BOOK CREATOR For several years, Martin's early immersion class has teamed up with the late immersion class to build paddles that are an important symbol of students' journeys into deeper waters as they take part in the Strathcona Park Lodge trip--their last elementary school excursion. This year, Martin's class experimented with Book Creator's pen, text (typing), sound, shape, image and sticker tools. The text tool offers speech-to-text to for easier typing and spelling. Students used the app to create woodworking tutorials for their late immersion peers, introducing them to French terms for all manner of woodshop tools and techniques. Book Creator projects can be exported with full interactive content for viewing on any device. Remind students to be mindful of school district acceptable use policy: "I will not make audio or video recordings of another student or teacher without his/her permission."

NOTES FOR NEXT TIME
We began this project with a sweeping focus: a science inquiry fair with
links to language arts and the core competencies. We ended with an
authentic language learning experience, with students acquiring
and practicing technology-specific vocabulary.
Since infusing iPads into everyday classroom learning was new to us, it
would have been a better idea to attach our project to something familiar.
In future projects, we would ask: what are we already doing that could be
transformed by the addition of digital technology? In Martin's class, the
natural answer was bricolage. When digital technology is applied to
familiar tasks, children find unique ways to make sense of what they've
learned.La scie
