**If you are unfamiliar with this project, check out my first post introducing my pilot project with LearnPads and comparing them to iPads. In first grade we have been learning how to tell time throughout the school year. We started with time to the hour, moved to half hours and then went to quarter hours. Our most recent adventure took us to writing the digital time represented on analog clocks. The activity that we did can be done on both the LearnPad and the iPad. While the apps used to complete this activity were different, the end result turned out the same. In an attempt to have my students apply their learning while creating and collaborating, we annotated a time on an analog clock and posted it to a blog. Having students annotate a time on an analog clock required them to apply their understanding of Common Core Standard 1.MD.B.3 which requires 1st graders to tell and write time in hours and half-hours using analog/digital clocks. To add an additional layer to this activity, students then went to their peers' blog posts and left a comment with the digital time that the analog clock was representing. Below is a video that highlights how this activity was done in my class as well as how it can be done on both LearnPads and iPads. Below is a few screen shots from a students final product posted on the blog. You can see the rest of the post by clicking here. Share This:
