Who will win the Words With Friends tournament -- administrators or students? Students are coming to the IT Cafe (Information Technology Cafe) for a cup of hot chocolate and a little practice time on the iPads. Sixth grade students (Zane, Emily, Nathan and Kaylee) and learned strategic plays during a Cafe session with me last week. Seventh grade students (Carmen and Elexus) came twice! (I think the competition is on!) Once everyone has had a chance to practice, the HCMS WWF Tournament will be announced. WWF is an educational application, similar to Scrabble. Students will play on iPads or Nook Color, while administrators will play on iPads, Kindle Fire or other devices for the tournament. This application shows instant scoring and tile status. Letters are moved by touch across the screen and a slight shake of the device can resort letters. Using this app, students will figure out how versatile the iPads and technology devices can be!
