We began by reading the Monarch Award book The Truth About Bears. This cute book features bears giving facts about themselves with humorous comments along the way!
After reading the book, I quickly showed the students on our Clevertouch Board how to get to PebbleGo on their iPads as well as how to find the section on bears. We learned how to click on the speaker to listen to the text and I pointed out several other PebbleGo features. Then, students went to their iPads and tried it on their own!
Their task was to find one fact about bears and write it on their paper. The students blew me away with how well they did using PebbleGo and writing down their facts!
Afterwards, they were free to explore any topic on PebbleGo that they wanted. They were so engaged in this entire activity! PebbleGo is an absolutely perfect resource for primary students to use to find information about so many different topics. No reading is necessary with PebbleGo and the information is simple and easy to find.
I love how we were able to pair a Monarch Award book with a research skill! We will definitely be using PebbleGo more in the coming months!
