Fixing bookLoading...

1. Children take photographs of their written work and add it to a page in the fixing book2. During 'fixing time' pupils find their fixing partner's work and check it for accuracy, spelling, punctuation and grammar.
3. They leave verbal or written feedback for their fixing partner.
4. Pupils check out their feedback and refine and improve their work.

Leave audio feedback next to the photograph of the work. You could also use arrows to point to specific areas of focus. Loading...
Mark Anderson @ICTEvangelistCREATE A CLASS VOCAB BOOK (EAL/ESL)
Get the students to use their dual-coding skills to create an audio-visual dictionary of useful terms/vocabulary. A great way for getting students to interact with new content, or to create a 'Welcome to our class' guide for new students, explaining how class systems work etc...! Students can take a page each and a part of the school or curriculum and swiftly generate a comprehensive resource!

Speaking Postcards in MFL
Students build the postcard collaboratively. This can be achieved in a number of ways. For example,
1. Taking on different roles - one does words, one does speaking
2. Each student chooses the place they are going to describe to build up a spoken picture of a town, house, uniform etc.

App-tastic Review/Showcase for Students and Staff
LOVE IT!
Example
Have students (and/or staff) write app/program/website reviews to help others choose the right tool.
Each page could include a link to the resource, have a screenshot of it, or include examples how the student has used it. Could include a student tips section as well as a teacher tips section.
Skills used in each app could also be useful.

Multi-Purpose Collaboration Space: Jigsawing example
I'm a big fan of using 'Jigsawing' in inquiry at school. This new feature really lends itself well to the activity should the students choose to use tech to help them with completing the task.
We're really trying to 'slim down' on the number of apps we use at school. Book Creator is already one of these core apps, but this new feature adds a new dimension to the app and will enable us to 'slim down' even more!
