WOW July 21:(!!! - QR Codes are EVERYWHERE:)!!

  Where DOES the time go - yikes!!  In less than two weeks I will be back at school manhandling iPads again - UNREAL:)!!
   HAD TO SHARE - I took my son to his orthodontist appointment a week ago and really thought about what I was seeing - check it out:

YES IT"S TRUE!!  This Ortho has a QR Code above the door as you walk into his business and it says Scan This below it - HOLY COW:)!!  Love it -
    Also. we JUST got back from a trip to California.  We went to the LAB Aquarium and look at how they has their animals displayed.  You will see the tank that holds a creature and next to it - YOU GOT IT - a QR Code to find out information about it - take a peek:)!!

HOW COOL!  My kids grabbed my phone IMMEDIATELY, zapped the code, and started reading about the animal that I was observing - SO GREAT:)!!
     SO - again - if they use them in the outside world in SO many areas - imagine what these little buggers can do for your students in your classroom!

Happy Night - I will be back to work this week and brainstorming a block schedule for iPads with Mrs. Tonsfeldt, a 3rd grade teacher, so I will tell you what our crazy minds come up with!

Take care,
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 schools across the country
