DONE AND WIPED CLEAN OF iPAD 2s:)!!!!

IT"S OFFICIAL! WE. ARE. DONE. WITH. iPAD 2s!!! Cloud Blue game in and JUST pulled away from BHS with ALL our iPads - YAHOO:)!! WHAT A RELIEF! They will now bring them back and count all and figure out a grand total of what kind of money we will get for them - TBD!!
However, didn't have a CLUE what to expect - so I had to take some pictures of what actually went on here.

First we loaded ALL the iPads from Casey's office:

Next, we loaded sets of iPads into a crate that held a cardboard box with dividers in it:

Finally, they totaled the boxes up and put them on pallets for loading onto a truck - DONE!!
I MUST say what a relief - and the CRAZY thing - I had a GRAND TOTAL of 963 iPads - they had a grand total of 967 iPads - AND we found 4 that were completely a loss from our iCare repair place - YAHOO - SPOT. ON. Like that will EVER happen again, right:)?

So, here we are onto the NEXT adventure with iPad Mini3s - we will see how this goes and how all function with a little bit smaller, but SO much lighter, faster, and manageable device - YAHOO!

Happy Summer Ya'll - I will continue to work on app lists and get ALL updated before FALL 2015 - for now have an AMAZING summer break - enjoy time with family and friend - TECH FREE!!
Take care and enjoy your time -
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:)
