I know every teacher has felt the desire to duplicate herself or himself. It probably happens on daily basis for many; I know I feel that way! It's especially a struggle when you have to start a new topic, but you know there are still some students that still don't get the old stuff. What do you do? You have to move on and hope you can find some time for reteach later.
In third grade math, we have worked to solve that problem by creating anchor charts and how-to videos. Specifically, we have been using the app "Educreations" which records sound while you draw on an iPad "whiteboard." We are then going to post the videos on the student iPads as icons for quick reference. When students are trying to working on a previously taught skill, they can pull up the video for a quick refresher. This allows for a quick review without necessarily requiring students to work with the teacher.
