iPad Project: Resume Builder

4 Jan

My students aren’t quite ready to write their own resumes but there is still a place for this app in my classroom.

A great way to replace or extend a biography project is to create a resume of the person you are studying.  Have students use the Pocket Mobile Resume app to demonstrate their knowledge of a historical figure’s personal information, experience and education, while choosing contemporaries to act as references and identify the skills and strengths of this person.  Try it out in your classroom!

Check out my Common Core aligned lesson plan using this app in the classroom!

Here’s another Common Core aligned lesson plan using this app in the classroom!

    I had to comment somewhere, and this looks a good a place as any. Your sharing is fantastic, the video I watched of you teaching math in a google hangout was spectacular and I can only say thank you, as you may teach in NYC, but you are having an impact in NZ classes too.
