The 4th grade at LMES used the Keynote App during our Astronomy unit as a summative assessment. Students each chose a planet to research. After completing their planet research using a variety of resources including web sites via Safari, Keynotes presentations were created to then share with the class on our school Apple TV. This was a great way to integrate ELA and Science Standards.
