Type on PDF - CONSIDER A PAID ONE:)!!!

   The last month or so we have REALLY had trouble with the free app Type on PDF which is now a $4.99 paid app - for OBVIOUS reasons!!!  SO many kids have been coming to me saying that it doesn't work - it's glitchy - works sometimes - deletes my stuff - UGH UGH UGH!!!  I FEEL SO BAD when I have to tell the kids that I can remove it and put it back on - but it MIGHT work or MIGHT NOT - and they lose everything!!  UGH UGH UGH!!  Obviously case in point - most apps are free because they "LACK" something - TRUE TRUE TRUE in this case!!!  
     I keep reminding myself that we only have to get through ONE MORE MONTH with it:)!  Then we can ALL have Notability - AMAZING, FANTASTIC, LOVE LOVE IT:)!!  You're TOO smart - Mr. Nathan Strand - he put in for it for HIS classes - and they have had NO problems all year - I should have paid more attention to that - WAY TO GO Mr. Strand!!!:)   The only bummer part - it used to be $.99 and with volume purchasing only $.49 - now they bumped the price to $1.99 - still only $.99 but obviously cheaper before!

TYPE ON PDF NO NO NO - NOTABILITY YES YES YES!!!  Spend the money on this one - you'll be sorry if you don't - sigh!!

Happy mid-week to you,
Mrs. I:)

Here's some more information regarding Cyberbullying to check out.  It's QUITE scary to think about all that children have to deal with nowadays!  The instant EVERYTHING - UGH!!  BUT, we as teachers, role models and parents can help and try to stay proactive.  Here is another link by Wiz Case to check out: A Comprehensive Cyberbullying Guide for Parents The more informed we are - the BETTER off we are as a whole.  This is such a tough and unfortunately never ending topic - good luck with this and PLEASE PLEASE share anything you have, anything you know, and keep your eyes out for all kiddos:)!! Happy Monday 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:)
