Well.....Apple Configurator Continues to Win:(!!

   I have been hooking up iPads now that the school year is over to remove apps from THIS year grades so the redemption codes are available for NEXT year's classes.  I thought it would be easiest to do this now, so in the fall, we can purchase next year apps and continue to get them ready for next year - WELL, Apple Configurator had other plans apparently!  I keep getting the "Request Token" failure notice, along with multiple others.....can't read device, and then it will connect, can't connect device, can't restore backup - bottom line I GAVE UP!!  It's been the 9th grade ones that it has done this with - UGH!!  The other grades actually went quite smoothly - SO - I just "removed" ALL the 9th grade iPads from Configurator, so I would get the codes back, and I will totally have to prepare them, alone with the 12th graders, in the fall.  I didn't want to do this - but I am tired of wasting time trying to figure this out - UGH!!  Oh  Well!!  I just want to be done here and enjoy summer;)! 
   I really only have the Kindergarten ones to do, which should be fine since the other elementary ones went well - probably just cursed myself, right???:)!!

Happy Summer Day all - I'm off to teach some classes this week on Tuesday-Friday - and then again in a few weeks - but only two days then:)!

Take care and I will try to sporatically write here as I find cool and amazing things that I MUST SHARE!!  I will post my Padlets that I am presenting, too:)

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...
