Continuing with their investigation of rocks, the Walls third graders
used the iPad camera and Google drive to create a Guess My Rock game. The
class took iPads with them on a walk around the Kent State campus and captured photos of a
variety of different rocks. Back in the AT&T Classroom, the photos were
uploaded to the Google drive photo gallery. From there students each selected one of
their rock photos and responded to a series of questions about that rock’s
features to guide them in developing clues about their rock:
- What characteristics are special about your rock?
- What color is it?
- Does it look heavy? Does it look light?
- Are there large grains or small grains?
- Does it look like it is layered?
