I know many have taken the iPads on a photowalk through your buildings to document various math concepts. That seems to work very well for a number of reasons. The kids are scouting the surroundings to discover the hidden lines of symmetry here and a right angle there.
What if we changed that idea just a tiny bit. I heard one teacher is sending the kids out to find examples of nouns or verbs. Those images were then turned into an anchor chart. This visual has a very powerful impact on how well some of the students remember what was learned long term.
What do you think? What else could they find? Any apps that would make this easier?
(Interested in photowalks or a photo safari? More on that later.)
