What I've Been Up To Update:)

  Well - to be COMPLETELY HONEST - really haven't done TOO much with ANYTHING:)!  Enjoying my summer and time with the boys!  However - I HAVE done some things:

1.  Started a digital textbook with Mrs. Gross, an English teacher.  She wanted a reference for her seniors, so we have that up and going - WORK IN PROGRESS!!!

2. QR Codes for Mrs. Forsgren's math alphabet letters - not ALL the way done, but that will be finished soon!

3.  Schoology - YIKES!  That is coming FAST - so I just sent out an email to ALL STAFF if anyone wants to come and meet up next week and play, play, play - learn together!!

4. Macmini Updates and all updates for Apps - I plan on doing this early next week as well

5.  START iPADS:)!!  My partner is vacationing - MUST NEEDED AND DESERVED - with his family so he is off this week and back next - so we will become zombies at the school again getting those buggers up and running:)!!

That's it for now - I will keep you posted as next week comes about and we start at it again - Hard to believe that year 1 is UNDER OUR BELTS:)!!  Not pros by ANY means, but know SO much more than we did last year at this point - YAHOO:)!

Happy Night,
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...
