Today we continued our work with finding shapes in our everyday lives. To give the students a chance to find shapes in more than just our school, we used Google's Street View Collection and the Educreations app to complete a real world shape hunt.
Since we share 5 iPads in my class, I wanted a quick way for students to access the street view collection. I opened Safari and located the NASA street view collection and added a bookmark. With the iPads being on the same iCloud account the book mark synced to all the devices. This allowed students to quickly access Safari and the bookmark to find the street view collection.
Once in the NASA Street View, students chose a picture to capture and insert into Educreations. Check out the video below explaining this process.

We had some technical issues part way through this process so many students didn't get the chance to complete their shape hunt. To revise this lesson, my students would have recorded while tracing and explain the shapes that they were tracing. Below are some student samples of their completed product.
