How have we used the Ipads in Geography?

Year 10 - CoastsReading photos effectively• The students used Popplet to annotate photos and create

links between the photos.• Photos where placed in a Year 10 folder which we created

on our dropbox account. Students could then download them to the photo file on the Ipad. Once in the photo file on the Ipad, the students could open them in Popplet.

• *Their work can sent to their e-mail address. • You can also create flow diagrams using Popplet.

Year 10 - Coasts

• The students created a video on the Great Barrier Reef using imovie. They incorporated key facts, covered the issues it faces and how it is managed.

• They saved images from the web on to the Ipad and then they uploaded them into imovie. They added a voice over on imovie or added text to the images/music.

• If you don’t save it as HD, it is possible to upload small videos of up to 3mins on to dropbox.

Year 10 - Coasts

• The students made play-do models and created small animations using imovie.

• They simply took loads of photos of their models and then uploaded them on to imovie, add text or a voice over.

• Then use a free online polling site to grade each others work and see the results instantly.

Year 10 Coasts

• Igeology app to investigate the geology which has created concordant and discordant coastlines. Just zoom down, click on the area and it will provide info on the rock type.

could upload their notes and photos to the geography drop box account so they could access and work on it at home.

Year 8 – Dry /Wet worlds

• Photos taken & 360° panoramas with photosynth app.• Video of high street transect, which could be later

annotated.• Audio summary of the site with audioboo.
