6th
Grade News Update
by
Treven Cerveny, Exeter-Milligan 6th Grade Teacher
The 6th graders at Exeter-Milligan are doing so many great things in the
classroom this year! More specifically, the students have excelled in using
technology. In our school, each child in the elementary is equipped with an
iPad to use in the classroom. As a result, we spend time every day using these
iPads to increase the level of student engagement. One specific app that the
students are using more frequently in my classroom, is the Canvas app. Once
students open the app on their iPads, they then choose the subject and assignment
that they are to complete for the day. This includes activities such as reading
a passage, watching a video, practicing a specific skill, answering questions,
playing a game, or completing a project. Once students have completed the
assignment and turned it in, they are able to receive feedback almost
immediately. Not only does this help students to better understand the
curriculum being taught in the classroom, but it also prepares them for the
future. Canvas is a tool that students use in our high school and many colleges
have implemented it as well. Technology has been a fun and engaging tool for
our classroom!
