Tune into Technology Linky: Integrating Technology into Reading

I'm so excited to link up with iTeach 1:1 and Learning to the Core for their new Tune into Technology!! I LOVE integrating technology throughout the day! The kids love it! Our students now are growing up with this technology so it's not going anywhere so might as well embrace it and go with it!!! :) 

I absolutely love the ideas that iTeach 1:1 left on her post! When I do reading, I have 3 rotations: 1 with me, 1 with my co-teacher for reading, and 1 independent technology rotation. During the independent technology rotation, I have 2-4 kids on the laptops working on Successmaker which is through Pearson. I have 2 other kids on the SmartBoard working on spelling activities, and I have 2 on iPads with which they get to choose the reading app they want to play.  This way that small group of 6-9 are still working in even smaller groups which minimizes interruptions helps the kids stay focused. If you look at the picture below, this is how I organize my groups for the rotations. The cards are for their activity during their independent time. The big arrow designates the kids who are the "teachers" of the group so if anyone has a question or needs help, those are the two that can help. This helps tremendously so that they aren't interrupting our reading group instruction. We also talk about what to do if they still can't get to work. They would separate and join in with one of the other groups or read a book and do a reading response sheet.

Some of the apps that they love are...
With the above app, you can assign kids to this level or the next level that is the next app Level 2. It will keep track of the passages they read along with the questions they answered showing their results with how many attempts.
My kids love this app!! It has several games but one of my favorites is the tetris style game. High frequency words fall from the top, and a voice speaks the word. Then they have to tap them before the speaker says another word. 
This app is great!!! It's for several grade levels and skills like prefixes, synonyms, antonyms, suffixes.and so on! Two students play against each other and have to make matches, but there could be a storm that blows in that stops them for a second. So fun!!

These apps are their top pick apps!! 

One program and app that I found through blogs and online was nearpod. This website and app is AMAZING!!! I will do a more detailed post soon with step by step notes on how to use it. I used this during my reading rotation, and my kids were astonished! The looks on their faces were priceless!!

You start with your own PDF that you make which you can export PowerPoint, Keynote, Word, or Pages documents as PDFs. Once you're done, you go to www.nearpod.com and drag the document into the website. You can add polls, quizzes, videos, etc.!! Then you are in charge of the slideshow. You also get realtime results as they're going through it with you!! 

I am on my way to the airport right now for a family reunion in Arizona so I have to cut this short! :) However, I would highly recommend looking into this program and app!! I will do a  more thorough blog post of this program when I get back!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!!! :)

    1. Thank you so much!! I went through a lot of trial and error before I figured out which worked the best for my class and me. :) This year, by far, was the best that they have ran!! I added my "teachers" the go-to kids this year, and it worked soooo much better!! I will definitely blog about nearpod when I get back to Indiana! I absolutely love it! I did a webinar with them as well which was great! Hopefully, I'll have my post up the week after the 4th! :) Thanks so much for taking the time to read it, AND set-up and organize this link up!! I absolutely love joining in and sharing as well as learning so many great ideas!! :)

  4. Hi Nicole,
    Word Bingo sounds like a great app for my little friends-- especially the Tetris style one. :) I definitely have NearPod on my iPad, but also have definitely not explored it, but have heard great things. That being sad, I'm very much looking forward to your post on it as well!
    Thanks so much for linking up with us!

  19. Is peer to peer lending worthy?
    Peer to peer lending is growing in popularity, and it is beginning to be recognised as an actual form of offering. It has found its way into the vernacular of everyday life and now people are asking questions about peer to peer lending.

    One of the biggest questions that many people want to ask is: Is peer to peer lending a worthy financial product?

    It can be difficult when you first learn about peer to peer lending because it does not have the backing of major institutions such as banks. But this does not mean that peer to peer lending should be written off as something unworthy or risky - it simply means that you need to learn about how peer to peer platforms work , peer to peer lending rates , peer to peer lending risks , peer to peer loans ...

    When you compare peer to peer platforms with a bank, it becomes immediately clear that there are differences. For example, when you approach a bank for a loan, you have to provide them with information about how much money you earn and then they will base their assessment of whether or not they will lend to you on this information. However, when applying for a peer to peer loan your earnings can be completely irrelevant because the decision is based on your creditworthiness . In other words, what matters is how reliable and responsible you have been in the past. You may have never had any financial problems

  68. A payslip is a document that shows how much money an employee earned during a certain pay period. The employee's name, gross compensation, and deductions are usually included. payslip must be sent to employees on or before their payday in the United Kingdom. Employers in the United Kingdom have been compelled to give payslips that reflect the breakdown of an employee's compensation since the GDPR went into effect in 2018. Employers are not compelled to issue replacement payslips if the employee does not have a good basis for doing so. For example, if an employee just misplaced their payslip, the company is not compelled to offer a replacement.
