Grades 4-6: Using iTouch in the Classroom


Description:Our fifth grade class is interested in exchanging ways that the iTouch is being used in the upper elementary classroom, in any or all curriculum areas. Students can share an app that they specifically like and how it has helped them become more interested in the content of a curriculum area.


Topic Ideas: App demonstrations, ways that the iTouch provides peer tutoring, or how the iTouch motivates learning.
