More Websites to Check Into:)!

  I have been digging back into my Google Drive and have rediscovered some GEMS - check them out;)

1. Unite for Literacy - This website has books that are easy to access and can be read to your kiddos.  Easy to use and super friendly!


2.  Mentimeter - If you have ever wanted to give a poll to an audience, classroom, etc.. and see immediate and interactive responses then this is for you. Create a presentation, choose your questions type, then choose present and you will see a code for them to go to the website and punch in.  Responses will start showing real time. Check it out -






3. The Kid Should See This - There are always those students you have every year in your classroom that are curious in nature.  They want to learn and learn and absorb more.  This site would allow for some of that.  Search by content area or just search by category.  The videos found on here are pretty neat!


4. What's Going on in This Picture - Each week the New York Times posts an intriguing picture for students and readers to think about and use inferencing skills to figure out what the photo might be about.  What a great way to get students engaged in discussion, use it for journal entries or writing topics - the ideas are endless!



I have MORE to share - BUT will get back another day -
Make it a great Tuesday 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 schools across the country
