Apple has recently added the larger iPad Pro, to their roster of ipad devices. I’m excited about this
addition because the larger screen is great for using the Animated
Step-by-Steps™ with small groups of students. If you don’t have an interactive whiteboard in
your classroom, the iPad Pro might be a feasible alternative allowing you to
pace small groups of students through an activity set up in a station format. As each ASbyS is supported with text,
animations, sound effects, and symbols (depending upon the version), meaningful
differentiated instruction is now possible within a small group format. In case
you are new to the Animated Step-by-Steps™ blog, the files work beautifully on the
iPad using the free Microsoft PowerPoint app available in the Apple App Store.

product.
You may also wish to view a previous post, Previewing
a Center Activity on the Interactive Whiteboard http://bit.ly/1NAw2uI
for further information re: the use of Animated Step-by-Steps in an Activity
Center/Station format. An Animated Step-by-Step Craft, such as Bottle
Snowmen, for example, might be displayed on the iPad Pro providing a
text- and symbol- rich format for pacing small groups of two to three students
through the steps for constructing their own bottle snowman.
As I mentioned before, I am excited about this new addition
to the iPad family.
You might just need to add the iPad Pro to your Holiday wish list!
