Sling Note App - SO COOL!!

  Alright - here's the new app that I LOVE LOVE LOVE:)!!!  It's called Sling Note and it allows you to have side by side screens - I know - SO GREAT!

   On one side of the screen it gives you either a web browser or a calculator, and the other side of the screen you can have another web browser or a notepad.  I am thinking Math teachers - WATCH OUT - you're going to WANT WANT WANT this one;)!!  The BEST part - is that you can cut out sections of the web browser and just move them into the notebook section.  If students need to go online for information, and they need to copy and paste things from the Internet, or better yet, notes or things from a teacher's blog or website - they can simply click and drag them from one side to the other.
    If a student needs to do math work - they can have a calculator up on one side and then show and do their math work on the other side - AWESOME:)!!  I REALLY think, Mr. Hermes, Ms. Brown, and Mrs. Peterson are going to LOVE it:)!!
   You are also able to upload and share the work that is completed.  It DOES cost money - this one is $2.99 - and I have checked in volume purchasing - and it DOES qualify - so if you buy 20 or more it's only $1.49 - a bargain:)!!

Happy Tuesday
Mrs. I:)

CodeHS - Great Site for High School Students

We have been looking for something in regards to coding for our senior high school students.  They have been having fun playing with the Sphero and the Dash and Dot , but they are a little old for this so to say.  Through my research, I came across a site called CodeHS .  THIS IS AMAZING:)!!!  Once you sign up, you are taken through a series of courses where you actually code.  You type in the commands and functions, trying to walk Karel, the dog, through various tasks.  Each section features a video explaining what you'll learn, a quiz to review, and then you step in and use what you learned to code Karel.  This seems like a really good fit for some of our kids.  We have two that are going into Computer Science, and this seems like a perfect stepping stone as it introduces HTML , Javascript and Python as they are also areas they will learn:). AND the best part - it's DONE FOR YOU and IT'S FREE!! Of COURSE you can pay for more, but i...

Starfall Website......

  I am not sure if I have shared this website with you, but our Kindergarteners are ROCKING IT OUT!  The site is Starfall and it has SO much great content on here.  Below is a list of content for the little ones:    The kiddos today were working on the Learn to Read section.  They had to listen to words, add beginning and ending sounds, and read stories and click and find things as they went.  They were TOTALLY engaged!  They even had a checklist to do once sections were completed to track their progress.    A SUPER fun one for the kiddos is preK-1st grade I would say FOR SURE:)! Bad news - NO iPad as it's flash based:(  - but still PLEASE CHECK IT OUT Happy Monday and night, Mrs. I:)
