Check it out.....

   Here are a few new apps that I have been looking at  - some I have found via other websites, some I have found through dumb luck.  I haven't looked through and through them or even played with them a TON - but they get great reviews and seem to look REALLY great:)!!

    The first one is Ask3: This app is a collaborative Educreations.  You can send stuff to your students - they can collaborate and you can share things as a class together.  I have done VERY little with this one - but it looks SUPER cool:)!!! FREE - check it out:)!!
    The second one is Letter Press: this is a word building app that gives you a block of letters that you have to create words with.  You play against a competitor at random and then you try to use letters they have used and you start to block out letters that they can no longer use.  A fun one also!
     The third one I found is GeoMaster Lite:  This FREE version lets you recognize and identify the states. There is also a paid version that allows practice with countries.  It's another one that is great practice for states.
Again - I have NOT done a TON with either of these three - but they look great and MacWorld and other sites gave them "Gem" app awards:)!

Apple Configurator is working great today:-) - WHAT WAS I THINKING in doing the updates of the apps in iTunes????  THAT is the time factor - of well - live and learn:)!

Happy Wednesday

Resources Compiled for COVID-19

Here is a PLETHORA of resources that I have been compiling as we are dealing with teaching during COVID-19.  Use what you can - search and seek - I am going to just COPY AND PASTE - so the links might not be active:) Video/Podcast Options: Zoom!: This program allows you to video conference with up to 100 people.  HOWEVER, I feel this one is NOT the best for large groups, BUT, would be awesome to do with one on one or small group work, or recording videos to upload to Schoology.  Create an account and download this to your Macbook here, https://zoom.us/ and the students will have the app. Zoom How To: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-fnwZGctrFlE-Ho8Y5C_v8Hit7KdSnvW Explain Everything App : You can teach just about anything you would want, especially math, with this app.  This app allows you to import pictures, files, etc.. and then voice over it, even drawing if needed, to create a video.  Simply upload to YouTube, share the link and done!!

I LIED!!! I TAKE THE THANK YOU TO APPLE BACK:(!!! UGH!!!

  All went well yesterday after we had done the Apple Configurator update - here were a few that we had to put into recovery mode, etc... which wasn't GREAT- but worked alright.  Students had to put in email address again as well as Schoology, no big deal.  Some lost their camera roll pictures - not the TOTAL end of the world.  But TODAY - 5 kids have LOST EVERYTHING!!! UGH!!  I don't do ANYTHING different with these iPads that I don't do with the others that have worked fine - so WHY?????????????  A senior girl and a freshman boy lost EVERYTHING!  It COMPLETELY WIPED their iPads and reinstalled ALL again - WHY???????????  I want to call Apple but I am TOO MAD to call as I wouldn't be anything tactful at all - so I sit and ponder what it might be - maybe I should use another word than Ponder, I guess they're throwing him back in next week, huh??:):)  I just don't know what to do.  AND the part that gets me the MOST is Apple KNOWS that sc...
