One of the best apps I have found this year is Teach Your Monster to Read. My FMD students LOVE it! It is a game-based reading program. The website is always free and the app is $4.99, BUT is offered free every few months. If you sign up on the website, you’ll get an email when the app is on a discount or free offer. Even if you pay the $4.99,…Read More

A few weeks ago, I was asked about NearPod, an app that will allow teachers to create, engage, assess students in real time. I will be creating a tech tip that will go out in the future on this app. If there are any teachers using this device in your classroom, would you please post commons on how you are using it and are there any issues or…Read More

In the upcoming tech Tuesday, you will see the tip about Post-it Note App for iPad. I’m sorry it is not available yet for Google Play, but heard it is coming. We are always using post its in the classroom, would it be cool to not only collect the evidence but to use them as tools to enhance classroom and staff meetings.

One of my teaching colleagues stopped me in the hallway the other day to share her excitement over using the ClassDojo app. From what I could tell in the two minute exchange that we had, it’s a positive behavior management system. Anyone else had any experience with it?

Another great app that I use is Lync 2013 for the iPad. It is a great tool for communication. So the question is who can you communicate with? Anyone who has access to the web.

I shared this in the Tech Tuesday Email, but Dr. Hawkins shared the app “Candor”. This app is great for having students, teachers, staff, or a group of individuals do brainstorming activities.

The article below is from EDUDEMIC.com –

The apps I use most are EcocClassroom and Prezi. Love the graphics from Prezi and the variety from PPT it has.

Today we began use of the candor app for group brainstorming.
