I would like to thank all of the teachers and administrators who applied for the iPod/iPad Cart – Mobile Grant. The Instructional Technology Team received over 50 applications for 8 potential grants, an overwhelming response. Right now is a very busy time for school staff and the application took a lot of effort to?complete.?It was heartening to see so many teachers with a deep interest in getting these tools in the hands of students committed to applying for the grants.

Due to the large number of strong applications and more than expected remaining funds from Title IID ARRA, the team will be able to award 2 additional grants to make a total of 3 iPod and 7 iPad Cart grants. Grant applications were scored and chosen based on complete and thoughtful answers to the questions asked in the application packet as outlined in the scoring guide.

The recipients of the grants:

Clover Codd (P)Alki Kindergarten teachers will use iPods to facilitate and organize video portfolios as tools for assessment of and reflection on learning.? Students will record videos of themselves reading books, reading their writing, singing word work and math songs, counting and explaining mathematical thinking.? Giving every child access to a mobile learning device and supporting his or her self-assessment and reflection through video portfolios will inspire students to see themselves more clearly as active participants in their learning.? For the “Kindergarten Film Festival”, each student will also choose a piece of writing to adapt to film and present for family and friends.Julia Schumacher
Zoe Manzo
Dan Warren (P)Students in two multi-age classrooms will use iPods during their literacy block to increase fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. One aspect of this process will be using the multimedia functions of the iPod to record students reading. ?Students will then keep on-line records tracking their reading fluency.? Comprehension can be enhanced through interactive books and e-books that allow students to listen to words they need help with or entire stories.? Once students have achieved a reading goal they will present and celebrate that accomplishment while showing others how they used the iPod to help them meet their goals.Lisa Kelleher
William Nelson
Jeff Treistman
Jeff Clark (P)8th grade science students will use iPods throughout the year to creatively present their results and reflections of their experiments. Students will take photos, make movies, use video clips and create podcasts to document their learning, thought process and reflections. As a result, students will be more proactive and engaged in developing their analysis and conclusions. This process will help improve 8th grade science fair projects by creating a deeper learning experience and by giving students creative ways to show their learning. WhenScott Rose

DavidDockendorf (P)Pathfinder students ?in 4/5 classes will use iPads during week long “expeditions” studying salmon in local streams. Students will use the devices to make plans for their inquiry, gather and evaluate field data, create work to represent their learning, and share it with others. Student work, in the form of presentations, slide shows, videos, and interviews will demonstrate authentic learning about salmon. Modifications to implementation of the salmon connection materials for autistic students will include photo taking to replace note taking.? Interview questions for community members can be developed and presented in picture and word form using symbols.Kent Daniels

Concepcion Pedroza (P)Orca students will exchange stuffed animals with a class in Egypt (within the IEARN network http://www.iearn.org/) and then, as a class, document the activities of the class through the “eyes” of the stuffed animal. The project will include a first grade class, a 4/5 class and a 7/8th grade class. These classes will form buddies between classes and work together on the Writer’s Workshop based projects. Each class will also collaborate with an English Language School classroom in Luxor Egypt. The students will us the iPads to blog and videotape their activities.Dustin Wood

Gregory King (P)Students in three pilot classrooms (1/2 split, 3rd, 5th) will develop multimedia news magazines (i.e. Time Magazine style) during the course of the year, which will integrate audio/visual and textual components and is decidedly student-centered in design. Utilizing the many features of the iPad within one project, students are allowed the opportunity to shape the culminating projects fashioned from their own imagination and creativity. Whether through science, social studies, math, etc., students will take their own ideas and run freely across disciplines with this dynamic device.Kathleen Sherman

RJ Sammons(P)North Beach teachers and students will be working with the Nordic Heritage Museum to conduct an investigation into the history of Ballard and surrounding communities, specifically focusing on how the community has changed over time. The Nordic Heritage Museum will help with research, provide access to historical documents and photographs, and expert advice to connect students with community members that will be interviewed as part of this project,.?Students will utilize iPads to access online resources for background information on the history of the Ballard area, as well as for note taking, photography, and conducting video interviews with area residents. As a culminating piece, students will create a multimedia presentation of their research to be shared through the North Beach web site and the Nordic Heritage Museum .David Ellis

Denise Espania (AP)Eckstein teachers will be using iPads to support the Readers/Writers Workshop model and as a tool to support differentiation in common formative assessments.In the workshop model, the classes will begin with a mini-lesson and then the students will return to their work areas while the teacher conferences with individuals or small groups. The teacher will model using specific iPad capabilities or apps and the students will work with A/B partners using the same capabilities or apps. Staff plan to adapt existing units of study with both Readers and Writers components that have a non-traditional writing end-product such as a Character Unit or Africa Non-Fiction unit to build independent interactive modules in support of CFA outcomes.Britta Culbertson

Kristin StoreyThe Center School’s grant focuses on a collaborative, cross-disciplinary project that will engage up to 300 students. For this project the iPads will be used in an unit involving Science, Spanish and Humanities classrooms to collect, analyze, and report on data relating to real world issues ranging from simple science topics like cell division to larger world issues like poverty, infant mortality and environmental degradation. Student outcomes will include but would not be limited to multimedia presentations, collaborative and interactive research papers, and/or blogging to document learning.Connie Lawrence
Lauire Roseto
Mary Gallagher-CummingsThe Kimball grant will support the “All About” literacy project. During this project students will read non-fiction text, collect data (digital images and voice recorders) and then using this material create and publish their own books. Students will publish their projects to the Kimball website to share with larger Kimball community. At our year-end family event, classrooms/students will present their digital projects.

Grant recipients will come together at one of two sessions:

iPod – August 8-11, Adminstrator 1/2 day August 11th in the afternooniPad – August 15-18, Administrator 1/2 day August 18th in the afternoon

Again congratulations and we will post more details in the days to come…
