In the Creation Station

During Technology in the Creation Station, the girls began the year by working on learning the rules and routines and iPad basics.  Next, they started partner work to earn badges.  The "teachers" for the week met with me to learn a new skill then had to teach it to the "students".  If both partners successfully completed the task, they earned a badge to add to their baggie.  Badges included items like popsicle sticks, nails, screws, wire, and more.  The badges will be used during Art to create a kinetic sculpture.  After earning several badges, the girls learned how to use a hammer, in order to help with the sculpture.  We talked about safety and how a hammer can be used.  The apps we have learned are Faces iMake and My Story.
