Clips - See it, Capture it, Describe it, Share it
It seems so easy, watching commercials where people create awesome videos in a flash. Perhaps you have friends who see to find great ways to share videos of special events or adventures. How do they do that? Clips is an Apple video creation tool designed to make video creation simple. When you see something, capture it in picture or video form, add some text or stickers to liven it up a bit, then share that video with a touch. That's it.
Tool Time Workshops are 15 minutes of testing out a new tool that meets a pedagogical need. They start 5 minutes after lunch starts and end before lunch is over allowing you time to get your lunch, stop by the Collaboration Room, have some hands-on time with a new tool, eat your lunch, and get back in time for your next class. You're welcome to bring a device, but there will also be some available. If you want more time with the tool, we'll figure that out together.
Show Me What You Know!
Explain Everything A interactive whiteboard app that can be used to literally explain everything. Check out their website for some examples. | Stop Motion Stop Motion is great for storytelling and demonstrating a process. Work through a math problem, walk step-by-step down a timeline, play a scene, illustrate an encounter - there are so many possibilities! | iOS 11 Screencast Audio and Video recording directly on the device. No extra tools needed. While the video below demonstrates how to do this on an iPhone, the procedure on an iPad is nearly identical. |

Which Digital Tools are You Using?
Partner with us and help us ensure your tools for classes, teams, clubs and activities are approved and ready for to use when you need them. PLAN AHEAD. Visit Pine Creek's Resource List; it includes the resources submitted by you. Don't see the one you'd like to use? Visit the District database. Still don't see your resource? Fill out the Digital Tool Application and we'll get it submitted to District IT for approval. Once the tool is approved, we'll update our list and inform you. This process takes time, especially if a purchase needs to be made.
Please be patient with us and the District as we embark on this new process. The District database is continually being updated as is our own resource list. Our goal is to ensure you have the resources you need while protecting our students' privacy.
Have questions? Contact anyone of your Digital Resource Team members, Susan, Sasha or Steve.
