=Welcome to our new wiki!=

Sharing is caring! Let's talk iPads and Smartboards! It looks like the discussion tab is just for that - banter back and forth. If we want to share files, I think this is the place to do it.

OK, just for fun, I threw on a ppt. and pdf to see what would happen. The first one is a list of number rhymes I use to teach the formation of numbers. Hopefully you can open them as I created them on my new laptop at home and haven't tried to see if I can get them to open at school... ==

This is just an example of a pdf about the senteo response system for the smartboard.

To upload these files, I went to "edit" in the top right corner of this window, then, I went to file, and uploaded. I bet you'll see how it works from there.

I also thought I'd try sending just a website to see how that works. I tried to "link" it, not sure if that was right or not...

Let me know how it goes!!

12/16/10 One of our Tech Directors asked me to forward her a list of iPod/iPad web resources. Here's what I sent her, thought you might be interested:

This first one has everything you can imagine... http://learninginhand.com/

Here's that app rubric that I emailed and asked permission for us to use. The description: Harry Walker is the principal of Sandy Plains Elementary School in Baltimore County, Maryland. Fourth and fifth graders at the school are piloting one-to-one computing with iPod touches. In addition, Harry is a doctoral student at John Hopkins University. He's investigating the impact of iPod touch on student achievement.

One of his challenges is wading through the huge number apps available. He's crafted a rubric to evaluate the quality and effectiveness of an app in terms of how it may impact student achievement. His criteria include curriculum connection, authenticity, feedback, differentiation, user friendliness, and student motivation. Click to view the PDF.

I'll keep you posted on his response!

Happy Holidays! Sara=)
