Ideas and Student Samples.......

   I just wanted to share a few more AMAZING ways that iPads are being used here in Barnesville.  Today I walked through the buildings with some staff from Grafton and snapped some photos - this is what I saw....
   Mrs. Gylland, our music teacher at the elementary school, was teaching a lesson on intervals.  She used AirServer - to project her iPad onto her screen to show the students what she was looking for and to "teach."  She then gave the students time to work within an app called Music Theory for Beginners......here are some 4th graders in action:)!



     We then meandered into the cafeteria to find Mrs. Blilie, Mrs. Gylland (daughter-in-law to the other one:), and Mrs. Justesen with 1st grade students working on spelling words with an app called Kids Doodle.  It was SO fun to see them so engaged in their writing and practicing of words. 



     I am SO sorry, Ms. Cresap, I will grab photos next time I come in - but her 5th grade students were busy making Keynote presentations for Science - LOVED THEM:!)!!  It was neat to see them download photos to their camera roll, insert text and add transitions - KIDS AMAZE ME EVERYDAY!

I have a few more things to share and will add another post about those later today!
Happy Friday
Mrs. I:)

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...
