While providing training and instructional support, we utilize technology to both improve instruction as well as increase efficiency in school operations.
The Learning.com App! (1st-5th Grade)
In case you haven't logged into Learning.com lately, you may have missed the fact that Learning.com now has an app for the iPad. This is great news! That means you don't have to rely on the computer lab being available to regularly use this fantastic resource. Students login the same as they would on the computer once you setup your classes and assignments. All the modules are not iPad compatible but they are adding more in the future.

Share and Collect Data in a Snap Using LiveSlide
There are several tools on the market that will allow you to share and collect data with your students. Often times it takes more time and money than you have. That is when you can look to LiveSlide from Atlas Learning. Teachers receive free Elite accounts after verifying their identity as an educator. Be sure to visit their website to learn more.
Contact my friend Jon Samuelson on Twitter @ipadsammy to learn more. He will be happy to show you a demo.
