How to create a (Reading Log) form with Google Docs - video Don Glass

• Make a thank you 'letter' with Shadow Puppet on the ipads - take a photograph of self with item, record a verbal thank you and send as email or text.
• Sign up to padlet.com - use via Safari on ipads or other devices to hold class or group brainstorms (everyone can add their ideas as a 'post-it' type entry and see what others have posted in real time); pupils can create their own research wall and post new information, key links or videos and images; create a discussion wall in response to a text or for showing how to solve a maths problem
• Use ipad as a mini whiteboard eg use Educreations to review skills with pupils while conferencing/groups - photo of work, use draw features to highlight or demo what talking about
