Fun English Class Activities
Most of us like to compete, whether for points or small prizes, and almost any review activity can be made into a game. One successful format to use is a Jeopardy-style review, with categories and questions that are worth increasing amounts as they get more difficult. You can use this format to review vocabulary: use parts of speech as your categories. Or you can review grammar structures, tricky spelling, questions forms (tag questions, interrogatives, indirect questions), or any language point you have been working with in class.

1:1 iPad Solutions: Evernote
Inspired by the tweets coming out of ISTE about Evernote & Nicholas Provenzano's blog piece on Evernote in a shared or 1:1 iPad environment, I thought I would share my perspective on why Evernote is a viable note taking, digital notebook,storage and distribution platform for students and teachers in a shared or 1:1 iPad environment.Evernote Email Address - I have found this to be an extremely helpful feature for both students and teachers. Within every Evernote account, am email address is generated that allows the account holder or a colleague to send resources via email to said Evernote account. This comes in handy if the classroom teacher wants to use Evernote as a platform where students submit their work ( final papers sent from Pages, notes from Evernote, etc...). In an iPad environment where many apps are not natively connected to Evernote, the email address allows students to send content to their account through the built in "export via email" function in most apps.
