DocAppender - Chrome Extension

DocAppender - Chrome Extension - Look Into It!!

I was at our technology integrationists meeting a few months back, which I have to say I absolutely LOVE these peeps if I haven't mentioned this already, and Lucas showed us a really amazing Chrome Extension called DocAppender!! This is a GAME CHANGER PEOPLE!! Basically, you are able to create Google Forms, and organize them in a way with this extension, and the end product is a time stamped "card" with information compiled on it. NOW, I know it sounds not so amazing like I am making it - but it is CRAZY! You can send out a Google Form to a variety of individuals and then you can see the compiled information for each entry - LOVE LOVE IT!

To give you an idea, I have asked Lucas if I can post the link to his most fantastic screencast showing this and he allowed me to - SO HERE IT IS - the DocAppender Screencast.

I can think of ENDLESS ways to use this extension. As a classroom teacher I would have used this for conferences to gather information about all of my students. As a special education instructor, I would use it for observations of students and gathering of information from various settings, and as an administrator, I would use it when I was doing teacher observations - QUITE POWERFUL!!

AGAIN YOU WILL THANK ME LATER!!
Happy Thursday all,
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:)
