iPact Creation Station – Every Child Can Learn

The iPACT 2-Day Creation Station – NEW!

Your “Use-the-Next-Day” Make & Take Solution

Come to this practical Make & Take hands-on lab for The iPACT App System and leave with a Common Core aligned set of activities for the Learn About, Read About, Write About, & Talk About modules of T.H.E. P.A.C.T.

You will bring the content of your choice to create these iPACT activities so you can use it the very next day to serve your students!

Prior to the lab, you will select a topic of instruction and gather your own images and corresponding curriculum content so that you will be ready to populate a set of iPACT app activities during the Make & Take session.

All participants will be invited into an iPACT Creation Station Dropbox folder so that they can share their units with all lab attendees and also import completed units from other participants!
