Prepping a new iPad Mini for 3rd Grade

ByWesley FryerOn March 7, 2013 

 This short article by Wesley Fryer is about him wanting to give his daughter's third grade teacher an iPad Mini for the rest of their semester. He says that he believes that this iPad mini will be providing the teachers and their students the adequate help and guidance for learning new concepts as a third grader.  As a third grader, I believe that this will be a great help for students, young children adapt to technology to quickly, it's unbelievable. Sometimes even learn it quicker than adults do when it comes to new technology.

Mr. Wesley shows screen shots of his iPad Mini, in his screen shots he has the following apps: Book creator, My Story, Story Wheel, SL for School, ShowMe, Educreations..etc.


I think he is very generous as a father to be providing his daughter's teacher which such a wonderful tool fr the classroom.
Since this article was a little bit on the short side, I have found another article/post by Wesley Fryer:

Using Tweetchat to follow educational twitter charts.

Wesley has a twitter account in which he uses to have meetings with other fellow Oklahoma residents, he uses twitter for businesses and is very strongly suggesting as an individual one can use this very conveniently because of the fact that it is so popular. The app he has downloaded he uses to have meetings about many educational conferences. He says that his group meets at 8 pm on Sunday Evenings. The app is called Tweetchat and it works with you as you communicate with others because you do not have to use the hashtag each time, the hashtag appears in the twitter conversation in case you have forgotten it. This link is an example of his meeting on Tweetchat.http://storify.com/OklaEd/oklaed-chat-03-03-13
