Faux Technology

Sight word work activities for Kindergarten
This week my students will be texting their sight words on iPhones.

They will be typing their sight words on iPads.

And they will organize playlists on their iPods in alphabetical order.

 Expensive?
Absolutely not. 

It's low-tech.
And faux-tech.

{Did I mention they're freebies?}

Impressive?
You bet! 

iPhones
Using washable overhead markers, students print sight words into the fields at the top of the 'phone', and then 'text' them.
iPods

I've written my students' names on small discs. Students select a disc and put it on their iPod.
Using washable overhead markers, students print the names on the playlist in alphabetical order.
This can also be done with sight words.
Sight word discs are included in the download.

iPads

Students print sight words on the screen {there's room for ten}.
Then they practise typing the words using the keyboard.
