I have been creating, though. This was Princess Prep week at summer camp so some fun ideas are coming your way soon. Until then, look what arrived while I was gone:
my iPad!!!
I'm actually semi-blogging from it right now! Semi-blogging because...I need help. I don't know how to import photos in this version, create, teach or share with this thing. And while I am getting awesome at Angry Birds, I'd like to actually utilize this in my classroom.
What apps should I download? How do I create printables? And what else do I need to know?
Hope you're all enjoying your summer!
Hey! My school district gave us iPads and I LOVE THEM! I mainly use mine for classroom use, and of course, for blog stalking at home! I find that it is A LOT of info and graphics to look at on an iPad, so I am still using my laptop to create printables and post blog entries! :)
ReplyDeleteI let my kiddos use the iPad with a partner during The Daily Five (reading groups) and Math Menu (math groups). I got the headphoes with the buds so they can each put a bud in their ear. They work so well on it! :)

I've posted about some apps on my blog...look under technology, but the greatest little tip I just learned about is keynote remote. You download the app, sync your computer and ipad and control a keynote presentation on you Mac. It shows you the current slide and the next one on your ipad. I am going to share children's writing that I have scanned in and many keynotes that I have made while walking around my classroom!!
