Getting the most out of your tablet
A New Mini-PD Series!
The plan: Use the device for everything you can while you have it!
The tools: There are several apps/programs that will allow you to create some cool stuff like tutorial videos that can be used LONG after the tablets across/with any devices (netbooks, iPads, desktops, etc.)
Your job: SIgn up! I've made it easier by providing a link for you to sign up at YOUR convenience. This will be a session offered multiple times throughout the month of January. You only need to attend one to get the gist, but are more than welcome to schedule multiple sessions. No convenient times listed? Just let me know and I'll work around your schedule. We can make it a 1:1 session or have a group party!
January's focus is LENSOO! This whiteboard recorder would allow you or your students to record short tutorials for a needed concept. See the blurb and video below:
--Session Blurb--
Lensoo: Do your students need basic, short, tutorial videos to refer back to certain concepts? Do some students need more practice than others? Are you just plain tired of repeating yourself? :) Lensoo is a free app that you can use to create those white-board/graph paper, voice over tutorials in a quick and easy format for students. These can be downloaded and shared with students this year and saved for next year--no matter the device being used! This is great for ANY content area and is extremely easy to use!
