The past few years, I have done a collaborative social studies research project with our 4th grade teachers and their classes called Florida A-Z. This year I did a few things differently. First rather than assign or have students pick all sorts of topics, we narrowed it down to each class doing something specific, Two classes are researching Florida Animals A-Z, another Florida People A-Z, another Florida Places A-Z and the last, Florida Attractions A-Z. This made it easier to guide them as to the types of things they would need to look for in their research. The BIGGEST DIFFERENCE though has been in the student's enthusiasm and the results they have produced just by USING THE iPAD FOR THEIR RESEARCH. In years prior, we used books and the computers, and it never failed, it was like pulling teeth getting students to read and take notes on their topic. Using the iPads, I am amazed at how easy the students have been able to research, select relevant facts and compile notes on their topics. When I asked the students for their thoughts and comments on using the iPads for research vs. using books and online sources their comments were:

  • " It's quicker and easier."
  • "It's fun and I find more facts."
  • " I like to use the iPad more and it's easier to look up my research.
  • "The iPad is portable and lighter than the computer."
While I'm not sure that any of their comments are factual... I do know that this has been amazing to see the difference in the results I have gotten with the student research. They are engaged, excited and engaged in some real meaningful learning. Learning for them has become fun. Our next step is to take their research and create a Florida A-Z ebook!
