Summer School for the teacher.

This summer I had the opportunity to take an iPad class.  What a humbling feeling to place myself back into a desk and let someone else guide me in the learning process.  This experience has given me a chance to have the same feels you do as you learn a new topic.
I'm exited about sharing some of the new skills I've learned with my students this fall.  We will be moving away from only being on the iPads to play skill developing games.  I see you, my future students spending time in the apps Fotobabble and Creative Book Builder.  
I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks in July were I'll also be creating a books for second grade Social Studies, Religion and Writer's Workshop.
Look for your teacher to create books about our local community, past communities, Laura Ingalls 
Wilder, and many other topics.

Denise, I'm sue your students will enjoy using iPad in the fall. I've learned so much as you during the four days of class.

What a fun blog site. It's very attractive and informative. It's good to see what can be done on blog in the future. It's good thing we have some time over the summer to plan for i-pad activities.

Great reflection on the class! Also your classmates comments are priceless! This class gave you permission to explore and it looks like you did.

Thanks for having an already established website. It is a good example of the benefits.
