Math: Working with Coordinates

 One of my very favourite things about having all the great tech in our class is seeing how well all the Digital Degus learn in different ways on different days and differentiate their learning about any topic. When Kit was reviewing how to read a map with coordinates, students tried a whole bunch of different activities. Some read a giant map of Gatineau Park in a sort of "Treasure Hunt".

 Some students played an Ancient Civilizations low-tech version of Battleship.

 Thomas and Haydon played an app called "Coordinates" that lets you go on a Treasure Hunt, design your own maps and find hidden shapes.

IPad App Review: Uzu - by Fiona

Uzu.
Uzu is a very cool app were you get to put different fingers on the screen and move little specs of light around. It might help you relieve stress or it might help you calm down.
I definitely recommend this app to you.

Here's Haydon enjoying Uzu on the bus, on the way to skating!

Madi's Fractured Fairy Tale!

Puppet Pals is an app and you can record a story by using your voice and have characters and backgrounds. I did my Fractured Fairy Tale on this. I used paper as a script. It's easier because you don't have to type it up. It was very fun and awesome, you could have any character that's on there and you could change the setting as you were recording. It was very fun.
