Question
What is the definitive guide to using Molly Lynch's classroom iPad management system?
Answer
Hi there! Molly Lynch's classroom iPad management system is quite simple and effective. Here's a quick rundown:
-
Assign Numbers: Assign a unique number to each iPad. This number should be set as the home and lock screen image. Each student is also assigned a corresponding number, so they always use the same iPad. This way, their usernames are saved in each game.
-
Organize Apps into Folders: To make it easy for the kids to find a game, organize the apps into folders that correspond with parts of your day, like "Read to Self," "Math Games," "Word Work," etc. When a student clicks on the folder, the games pop up!
-
Use the Smart Cookie Math App: Molly has her own app, Smart Cookie Math, which mirrors her paper and pencil program for math fact fluency. It's a great tool for extra practice.
Remember, the key is to keep it simple and consistent. This system can transform your classroom iPad management from chaotic to calm. How does that sound?
