Post Survey
Students: Please take a few minutes to complete this survey about using the iPads this year.
Tech 2012
In May Mr. Hetrick and Mrs. Zumpano accompanied 6th graders Brianna and Travon to Springfield's Capitol building. May Community Academy participated in its 3rd "Tech20xx" event. Schools from around the state were selected through an application process to demonstrate their use of technology to Legislators. We focused our presentation on our Shoe Project using the iPads. Awesome job, students!

QR Codes in Reading Workshop
Ms. Beckom's reading classes recently used QR codes.
Ms. Beckom's thoughts on QR Codes:
The QR Codes saved time and helped my students and I to be more accurate. Instead of writing the URLs on the board, which sometimes I or more my students often write or copy wrong, I just created a QR code which took my students directly to the site. YEA! Additionally, I did not have to worry about making many, many copies of pages for handouts. Via the internet, I can expose my students to more information than I ever could have enough copies of. It was quick, easy to produce and implement. I went to a QR code generator and I had a QR code in a matter of seconds. What's more, it is free of charge to make and use. Additionally, it makes my lesson more interesting, because my students like to SCAN STUFF! Scanning helped them to buy into the lesson and become more engaged learners.
Students: your turn! What do you think of using QR codes in reading? Can you think of some other ways to use them?

A Trip to the Apple Store
In November the 5th and 6th grade students took a trip to the Apple store.
Ms. Tell writes about the visit:
The Apple Store was a nice experience for the 5th and 6th grade ipad users at May.
The students were asked questions about how they are using the IPADS in the
classroom. They were eager to share their daily experiences with the ipads. Students
then took pictures and videos of each other. Students then turned their pictures
and videos into exciting i-movies. Students had an exciting time at the apple store!
Students: What did you enjoy about the trip?
