Featured Student Work - October

This is a weird and wacky facts poster put together by two hard-working students! The students researched the facts using National Geographic's interactive "Weird But True" book. Check out the quality facts and design work, nice job!

Rubrics for Lessons

Today I worked on creating rubrics for all the new lessons I've created! Teachers are finding the rubrics very useful and they are a great way to measure what students are taking away from our sessions. 

Subject Areas Include:

-Solar System

-The Writing Process

-Narrative/Expository Writing

-Insects

-Reading Comprehension 

-Place Values

FaceTime Interviews

Today the students conducted interviews and learned about a few different careers. The interviews were done via FaceTime which the kids loved!!! Check out the video we made afterwards which can be seen on the BrainiApps YouTube channel - www.youtube.com/brainiapps

New Webpage Design Launching Soon....

BrainiApps is working hard on re-designing our web site! The new site will include video footage of BrainiApps iPad learning sessions and several new student examples. The children have created some really great pieces of work and we're excited to share it very soon! The new site will be completed by the end of May so stay tuned...
