First Lesson....This Day in History!

We were so excited when the first club day arrived.  The first lesson we choose was about history.  We wanted to get the students involved with the iPad and show them the many educational things that could be done with it.  They had played many games on it, but had never used it for school work.

As one of the requirements for the club, the students had to purchase a $20 iTunes card.  They were to download their apps before the day of the class.

These were the apps they had to download for the first class:

• This Day in History (free)
• Sound Note (4.99)
• Google Earth (free)
• Story Kit (free)
• Tangram Pro (1.99)
• Google Mobile (free)

The students had a great time, and actually moaned as the bell rang to end the class.   I knew as this first class ended that iPads would be a success at our school.
