Just prior to the end of the school year, we held a meeting of the group the teachers involved in our JK/SK iPad project. The meeting was a great sharing of learnings to date. Much of the discussion centred around criteria for choosing apps for students of this age/grade level. Here is what they had to say.

Boy…aren’t these the best criteria for picking anything you’d use with kids. Why is it that what makes good teaching sense makes good tech integration sense too????
Thanks for sharing this….a good reminder to keep it real.
-Smart analysis of emerging technologies and apps! I think it is great that your teachers are coordinating their thinking in this way.
