Ms. Brehm, an EC3 iPad teacher, has been working with her students for a number of weeks in preparation for this event. Students conducted research on their selected college/university using the Safari app on the iPad. The resulting photos, facts and other media (e.g. school fight songs) were then imported into various apps, such as PicCollage to create multimedia materials.
Students utilized the iPads to access their district GAFE Gmail accounts to email college/university officials requesting additional informational and marketing materials such as brochures, posters, pens/pencils, pennants, and tee-shirts. These materials were then prominently displayed by students at the college fair.
The highlight of each student display were the iMovies created on the iPad to advertise what they had learned about their selected college/university. These iMovies served to attract the attention of college fair visitors and showcase attributes unique to each college/university. Check them out here.
Needless to say, the college fair was a HUGE success!
Congratulations to Ms. Brehm and her students!
