Evernote- Penultimate

 This is an app that syncs directly with Evernote. You can be creative with your photos, math problems, and reading passages. It is a quick and easy way to create online notebook to share with anyone. There is a tutorial that comes with the app also.

Knowmia

My students recently used an app called Knowmia to present their infectious and non-infectious disease research to their classmates. This is an easy to use presentation software that is very similar to Power Point. The student will need to create an account and my students all used their school Gaggle emails and passwords to make it easy to remember. There is a tutorial video to help get you or your students started.

Mrs. Carpenter's Gateway to Technology students recently used SmartPhones to control their robots. 

In addition, all the classes are adding Google Chrome to their devices so that their bookmarks from their school desktops will sync to their devices. They are moving to GTT journals in a digital format. They are downloading Adobe Reader so that students may mark up notes from the class website. Students will organize notes in a digital notebook. Students are also using their Droid phones as remote controls for their NXT Battle Bots.  In this video, students are researching playgrounds before designing their own in Inventor.

Ms. Bibb's 8th grade technology students are using Alice to program a virtual world. 

Mrs. Lister's and Mrs. Gregory's 8th grade ELA Writing students video each other as they attempt to follow their partners' instructions in their own technical writing.  Back in the classroom, students will analyze the performances in the videos to see where they may need to revise their writing for greater clarity.
