We routinely use a variety of digital tools in my classroom. Students can look up unknown words within our novels on the ipads and the ipads allow students greater understanding of the text as well as gaining an understanding of new vocabulary in context. Students can also use the apps I have downloaded to promote word study at the single syllable level. Googledocs assists students in their spelling by providing a corrected version of the word they intended. Other apps allow students to type or write to make notes as we read. Student selection is key once they have experienced the many apps I have downloaded. They can then choose the one that meets their own personal learning style.I have downloaded Dragon Speak, the ipad app for students who struggle to keyboard their blog posts.

For students who need to be assessed frequently, QR codes is a fun and painless check in of skills.
