1. Are you on the bridge?
If not, get on it to ensure 21st Century
readiness for ALL your students.

2. A few options to get on the bridge!

3. The cost of language learning has
been revolutionized by the i-Pad

4. WHAT’S OUT?
Authoritative teachers
Teaching the way we were taught
Complaining about cutbacks and
lack of funding
Teacher centered lessons where
the teacher “imparts” all
knowledge upon students
Students as consumers of
knowledge

5. WHAT’S IN?
 Caring teachers who incorporate differentiated
learning strategies in the classroom to reach all
learners.
 Teaching the way students learn. Demonstrating this
with accommodations sometimes done on the spot.
 Using frameworks, benchmarks and other asset-
based approaches to assessment
 Individualized, customizable, learner-centered
approaches
 Tech-savvy teachers who use technology in the
classroom
 Students using technology tools for learning
 Teachers are facilitators and coaches
 Students are producers of knowledge

6. The i-Pad used as a language
teacher toolbox

7. Educational i-Pad apps for the
Elementary School Spanish Teacher
 Babblemania- This app teaches young learners the fruits and
vegetables in Spanish. Once they have learned them they
will make a smoothie and a pot of soup. Repetition reinforces
the vocabulary and it’s very entertaining for the children.

8. Video of students learning on
the i-Pad during Spanish class
 Insert video- students working on the babble mania website.

9. Animals, colors, numbers
Niños bilingue- This app teaches young learners the
animals, colors and numbers. It presents the vocabulary in
English and in Spanish providing repetition. The children enjoy
choosing and dragging the correct animals.

10. ABC Practice- Recognizing the
letters in spanish
 Igualar letras- A letter matching game. The student hears the
letter and needs to uncover the cards until all letters are
matched. Each section of the game a cute squirrel “takes off,”
at the end many balloons go up with the letters written on
them. Students can review the alphabet before playing the
game.

11. Spelling words in Spanish
 Leo Spanish spelling- A spelling game. The student hears a
letter and needs to choose and drag the correct letter (one at
a time) until he has un-jumbled the letters to form a word.
Once the student has spelled a word, he gets to “color” a
section of the picture of a clown until he has spelled out all
the words and colored the entire face of the clown.

12. Practice correct pronunciation in
Spanish and record your voice
 Learn Spanish for Kids – Ottercall español - A pronunciation
game. The student hears a word in Spanish and needs to
record his voice saying the word correctly. They are graded
correct/incorrect. While this is precious and the students love
that they can record their voice, it is very sensitive and
sometimes the student is graded incorrect, while he might be
correct. Also, some words are in “Spanglish” so make sure
you review the vocab. first. If offers many themes:
animals, school, beach, bedroom, breakfast, clothing, fast
food, fruits, holiday, music, kitchen, appliances, seasons, spo
rts, tools, vehicles, veggies, weather.

13. Fun educational games in multiple
languages- Higher elementary
level and above
 Learn Spanish – Mind Snacks- Provides a good foundation
and the repetition helps make the vocab “stick.” I would
recommend it to upper elementary students and above.
Some of the games speed up as you get to the more
advanced stages, therefore they are too challenging for lower
elementary students. Reviews a wide range of vocabulary.
Provides incentives with points and tokens. Allows you to
share results on facebook. Available in multiple languages.
