Using iPads to label nouns in our world

I don't remember exactly were I first saw this idea but I just loved it and have using it in my classroom every year.  This week we learned about nouns. I am always so impressed with my kids on their ability to find nouns (once of course we review and practice for awhile).

To get them practicing sounding out words and relating nouns to their own life we used the iPad to take pictures of our classroom and then labeled them with the nouns we saw in the pictures.

To do this the students used the app called Skitch.  It's easy to use and the kids can take the pictures right in the app and then just tap to type.  After about five minutes explaining and modeling using the Apple TV linked to my iPad my kids were ready to go and boy did they have fun!  They each had to label 3 nouns before they could take another picture and do it again.
