"How was your day?" "Fine." "What'd you do?" "Nothing." Parents are asking children about their school day, and not very many are getting the answers they desire. Many families share this concern with me, and as a teacher, I know "nothing" is never the correct answer to that question, but families rarely get a complete sentence or a full story. With iPads in our classroom, first-grade students will save their work in an online journal, creating a digital portfolio in Seesaw, and build confidence in their technology use. Hands-on projects and even messy experiments will be documented and shared with families, allowing them more insight into their child's day. Since families are receiving better communication from the classroom, they will have more meaningful conversations with their children. Children will feel more empowered to talk about their learning. Working together, the families and I are able to understand the strengths and areas for growth so we can meet the needs of all our children. Ongoing communication is vital to a positive relationship between the school and home. Families are more supportive and willing to explore a variety of tools to show what our students know in the way that works best for them. With iPads, my first graders may take a picture of a book, create a video or voice recording of their reading, and share it with me for coaching on fluency and accuracy. We can work on comprehension skills through conversations and written messages. Providing lessons through technology, students would visit virtual locations, view science videos, play math games, and read abundantly. Creating digital portfolios with iPads will allow even the smallest moment of learning to be shared with families and that will last a lifetime.
