Then, he gives each group an iPad2. Mr. Wilson, gives a mini-lesson concerning how to take
pictures with With the iPad 2, students have to take pictures of each books Title Page, Table of
Context, Glossary, Index, and a page with different types of headings. When the students are
done taking pictures, Mr. Wilson instructs them to go to a different app on the iPad2 called Pic
Collage. This app lets the students import the pictures and add text. He asks the students to
label the pictures that they just took. When all student groups are complete, Mr. Wilson prints
each groups Pic Collage and makes a class book that his students can read and continue to
look at during free reading times.
