Launchpad – the company that created Telestory and Toontastic joined Google (how awesome!) and both apps are now free! Great news for us little ol’ edtechers.
3rd Graders are working on summarizing the main idea of a text. What better way to summarize a text than from SPACE? Or as a ROCKER IN A BAND? Or as a NEWS REPORTER?
Check these out and download the app here! Tips and ideas in the comment section???
This is from Ryan Read – an instructional technology teacher with a great idea to give choices to students when using technology – especially for our 1-1 environment. Check out #appdice on Twitter or Pinterest.
Here is the link to his write up on how to create, use and implement App Dice with the SAMR model.
Check them out, they look like a great classroom idea.
Try this one below for Word Work.
Try this one after Read to Self time with Daily 5.
These are hilarious! Try the app Chatterpix Kids. Take a picture of something, draw a line with your finger on the iPad where your photo will talk, and record yourself speaking for up to 30 seconds. Export to camera roll to share. That’s it!
Here’s an example of a first grader using the app during Daily 5. She is finding inferences.
Any ideas on how you would use with your class??
If you don’t have a document camera and want to work through a few of those istep prep questions with your class, fear no more!
Grab a stack of books or in this case a Character Counts box – open your camera and connect to your whiteboard for a simple projection tool.
Just don’t take a picture of the test.
Cleaned up the desktop and found this from the ghost of eLearning past – it might help you!
Google Drive is a cloud storage space where you can safely share materials with others – in this case between you and your classroom but you can also use with other teachers – or anyone. We will move slow to get a sound foundation using Google Drive. Don’t worry – you can do this!
Teachers – download Drive to your iPad and visit http://googledrive.eastnoble.net/ on your laptop – sign in with your school email and password. (if not ENSC, sign in with any Google account)
Classroom- follow the slides below to get each student signed into the Drive app. (I can find you older student helpers when needed to help with this step) -You need to enter username@eastnoble.net and the password twice.
Awesome, now that we’re signed in, let’s share a document with the kids in your class. For this step, you will need to set up a shared folder in Google Drive. Don’t forget to drop in an item (doc, photo, or video) for your class to view.
The following steps show your class how to find a shared document in the Drive app and save it for offline use. Walk through these steps with your class to save the documents you sent earlier.
There you have it, the foundation to build all of your Google Drive tools with your classroom. Next, we will work on a few apps and how to get things quickly to Drive and out to your class saving you time, time, and time!
