Class+Presentation

Class Presentation:

a) Issues that have arisen:
 * narrowing/focussing the question after help from Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach
 * challenges with the laptops (e.g. re-imaging issues with Pixie)
 * teaching the grade 1's to use a new program independently (e.g. opening/saving files, making text boxes, etc.)
 * no empirical data; difficult to measure results

b) Feedback:
 * think about rough copies/good copies; in future, some students might go straight to Pixie if they're struggling with pen and paper
 * have students complete a self-assessment - ask students which book cover they liked better (paper vs Pixie) for their own book and why, overall which they preferred from their classmates (paper vs Pixie) and why, what they would prefer to do next time
 * compare rough copy to good in terms of the graphics -- did pictures change? did rough copies have any irrelevant pictures like the Pixie copies did? how many used stickers vs drawing tools?
 * consider a stylus for the ipads
