Apps Gone Free.....

   There seemed to be a TON of free ones today that I liked from Apps Gone Free - the ones that I popped into Configurator are these six:

1. iLuv Drawing People HD - normally $2.99 - free today!  This app guides children through the process of drawing people.  Audio instructions included, too!  20 drawings to choose from and the option to save to camera roll!

2. Solar: Weather - normally $1.99 - free today!  The app presents you with two colors on the main screen - the top color is the current weather while the bottom represents the current temperature.  Swipe from the bottom to the top to see the weather changes throughout the day - pretty cool:)!

3. Puppet Workshop - normally $2.99 - free today!  Allow your child's imagination to go wild!!  Kids can choose from 20 different sock puppets or craft their own.  They can also choose backgrounds and put the puppet on display - I can see a TON of uses for this;)

4. Retromatic HD - normally $2.99 - free today!  Craft your own retro-style poster with this photo effects app.  You can import a photo or snap a new one - then grab what's necessary!

5. Composer's Piano - normally $4.99 - free today!  Compose your own music with this digital piano app!  You can also layer sounds together if you wish!!  When you're ready to play - hit record and tap away at the keys:)!

6. DoReMi 1-2-3: For Kids - normally $1.99 - free today!  This app teaches children major scales, scale placement and pitch recognition.  This includes 6 songs , a free play mode and the ability to record the child's tunes!

WOW - That was A LOT for today!  Again - I TOTALLY encourage you to download them and TRY TRY TRY!  Please know that we will NOT be having ALL THESE apps on our iPads next year!!  You still have to find the BEST ones that will help with the content that you are teaching - KEEP THAT IN MIND:)!!

Happy Friday - we have been starting to talk about end of the year procedures, so I will post that as we have a "plan" in place - thoughts have been rolling, though!

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 schools across the country
