In my experience, kids love using iPads! During my prac I downloaded some free apps for the preps to use as part of morning rotations, in order to practice their literacy and numeracy skills. They were super keen to use the apps and, as they had to share 2 iPads between 4-5 kids, it was great to see them working collaboratively, helping each other out and learning from each other at the same time. I used the following apps: ABC Magic 3, 123 NUMBER MAGIC Line Matching, Lola's Math Train Lite and Lola's Alphabet Train Lite Learning activities such as these that include the use of digital technologies align with the new ACARA technology curriculum... 2.4 Identify, explore, and use digital systems (hardware and software components) for personal and classroom needs.
