Technology Tuesday: Olympic Sports with Visual Poet

My third graders came in this week to do an Olympic lesson using the ipads.  First they did some quick researching on World Book Student and the Olympic Website on an Olympic Sport.  Then in Visual Poet (a free app I am loving more and more) they put together their research notes and pictures to create a neat "poem" about the sport.  

How are you incorporating the Olympics into your lessons? 

Technology Tuesday: Visual Poet

I was looking for something different to do with my first graders last week and came across the Visual Poet app.

In science, they were studying water, so we looked on our PebbleGo database and researched the different kinds of bodies of water and what animals live in those areas.  PebbleGo has information on lakes, rivers and oceans so we looked at those pages and the students wrote down the definition of the word and at least 3 animals that live there.  Then we used visual poet to put it all together. 

I love that in this app you can search for pictures right in the app.  Made it really easy for first graders to find a picture.  I can't wait to find other uses for this app.  What could you see using Visual Poet for?
