TIES Day 2:) - Session 1

Here are the sessions that I attended Day 2 - my mind was SO SO fried so my notes are CLEARLY not what they should be, and I tended to not write as much as I downloaded the information directly from their presentations:).
  The first one I attended was presented by Pete Markham who is an Apple representative - My DReAM job, right:)!!  His session was titled, "Tips and Tricks for Getting the Most our of Your Mac and iPad."  Perfect session, yes!  Finally all the things that I wanted to know and learn about - and here are some highlights:

1. WHO doesn't want shortcuts!!  Many Windows users really struggle using the Mac - so here is a link to OS X Shortcuts for the Mac - LOVE IT:)!!

2. We have all struggled with iOS 7 and the updates that it has had.  Ok maybe not all of us - but I sure have!  Here are some of Tricks all new iOS 7 Users  should know:)

3. Here is ANYTHING else you might be interested in  - it is his Delicious Site: there are many things here - as you could look for days:)!!

I will write about Session 2 this weekend - as it was SO SO GOOD:)!  AND we don't have school Monday - heck the WHOLE state doesn't because of Governor Dayton - THANK YOU:)!

Happy Weekend,
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...
