Oakhurst students in Ms. Whelchel’s second grade class use two classroom iPads to write blogs and communicate with their parents about what they are learning. Using an app called SeeSaw, students can write, draw pictures, take photos of their school projects and share them with their parents. The kids love using the technology to practice their writing, and the parents love to receive updates directly from their students.
