Program Summary

Teachers who have iPads in their classrooms can maximize and showcase student language production in dual-immersion classrooms while incorporating ISTE standards at the Kindergarten level. During the Farm Animals unit of study, students learn the names of farm animals, their body parts, and describe them with various attributes (for example: hooves, snout, muzzle, tail). After learning these vocabulary words, students reproduce the words by scanning teacher prepared QR codes of farm animals, upload them into ChatterPix, Tellagami, or GreenScreen, to create a video describing the animal at the farm. Student work samples will be provided in addition to resources for teachers. This skill can be transferred into other units of study throughout the year and can be adapted for upper grade students.
