Highlight of the Week
App of the Week
Apple Classroom~ I love this app! I can see what any student is doing on their iPad at anytime AND lock them out. They hate it:)
Apple Classroom can do a number of things with a class of iPads:
- Lock and unlock the iPad screens
- Navigate the iPads to a web page or a chapter in a book in iBooks
- Open an app on all devices
- View a device's screen remotely
- Initiate an AirPlay session between a single student device and the classroom Apple TV
Parent Conferences
Innovation Begins with Growth Mindset
We found this article, discussing a podcast by Microsoft a great reminder about the importance of growth mindset fostering innovation. We have found that fixed mindsets can hinder students from out-of-the box thinking. We hope you found the podcast valuable!
