Teacher Devices
At this point all certified teachers should have a working ipad. If it is having issues, ask the tech team first. If they can't fix it, Shedden is the next person to ask. Click here for the tech team request form.
Cases are coming. I don't know when. I will tell you as soon as I hear something. We are required to use the provided cases when they come.
This Month's Featured App-Thinglink!
Thinglink is a cool app that creates an interactive image. You can link to videos, quizlet, websites, definitions, whatever you want within your image. It could be used on an individual basis, or as a new presentation tool. It can be used as an app or web-based.
Here are some content specific ideas on how it could be used:
SS: Use it with maps
Science: Diagrams like cells, or Engineering Design Process
Math: Going through steps of an equation
ELA: Essay structure
WL: Vocabulary
Health: Infographic on food pyramid
PE: Form of a particular skill
Music: Show sheet music, link to audio of different parts
Art: Highlight different techniques within one piece
Design: The skill of just making one!
