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

Final conclusions below.

Hola!

I LOVE Wolf County’s Stem Camp activities! The 21st century learning skills of creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and communication were clearly evident! Can you post more about your resources?

Wow! I am so pleased with all of the folks who have sent in their photos and videos of students working on Hour of Code! It is obvious that students had a great time and I believe teachers did too. Can’t wait till next year, but in the meantime, keep coding!!!!

Hi STEM Peeps!
This will be where we we will be posting our STEM Unit Plans for our STEM Professional Action Network.

We interviewed some kids last year who said Wolfram Alpha is their “go to” app for Math….

Photomath is a great app for students to receive immediate feedback on a math problem. The student captures the problem and the app shows the solution and steps.

What are some good math apps to use for RTI?

What are some good math apps to use for RTI?

Carly teaches first grade, and asks, “Could anybody tell me whether it is just as easy to use a Macbook as a teacher (syncing with Smart board programs etc.), or whether it is best to use a different laptop?”

Do we have a new teacher?

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.
