In my 1st grade classroom we currently have 5 iPads. These 5 iPads are used during centers, small/large group instruction and one-on-one. An example of my first graders using the iPads is that we use Evernote and Educreations to create digital portfolios. Currently my students can share their digital portfolios by sharing their notebooks on their Kidblog. However, this adds an extra step into the process of sharing their digital portfolio. I came across a post on the iLearn Technology blog. The site highlighted was called Postach.io. Postach.io instantly creates a blog post base on your notes in Evernote. To get started you create a Postach.io account. Once you have created an account, you are able to set up a "site." This will serve as the blog for your notes that are published to Postach.io via Evernote. After you have created your site, you will be asked to authorize your Evernote account with Postach.io. At this time you can choose a notebook to dedicate as the central location for notes you want to be published to Postach.io. Upon setting up your notebook in Evernote, you will simply add any notes you want to show up on your Postach.io page into the notebook you established as your default blog publishing notebook. All you do is add the tag "published" to have your note show up as a blog post. You add the tag "page" to have it posted as a page instead of a blog post. Super simple and a cool way to get content from Evernote instantly to a blog. Looking forward to trying this out.
