Ms. McGinley wrote some grants and got I-pods for the room and then the district gave our classroom a few more so everyone could have one.  We worked really hard to learn how to use them as learning tools and we did such a good job that they got everyone in our classroom an I-pad to use.  We use them for everything.  We do our reading on them, take reading tests, we do our math and take math tests on them, we do our writing on them for reports and journaling, and we can even take our spelling tests on them.  We use them to practice our skills also.  What we really like to do is make videos for our vocabulary words or book reports and email them to our parents.  Sometimes we take a picture of our math worksheet and then use our finger to write the answers and then we e-mail it to Ms. McGinley.
