The iLife and iWork apps are now available in the district "app store" LANrev Apps (previously known as Absolute Apps). You can download these apps for free for your student devices. For help downloading these apps please see the directions below. Think there are no apps for you? I recently added some music apps to our district app store (Absolute Apps or LANrev Apps). Download them to student iPads or get it on the App Store.
Ms. Morris' fourth grade students at Bess Race Elementary read the nonfiction article, "The Deadliest Animal on Earth". Using their classroom iPads students have recorded news reports describing this deadly creature and the damage it does. Students can really demonstrate their knowledge about a historic or literary character with these two tools. Trading cards is both an iPad app and website that allow students to create and share short informational cards on their character or term. Students follow the prompts to describe their character. Fakebook allows students to build a Facebook like webpage for their characters. Students can include friends, likes, and status updates.
Popplet Lite is a free app that allows you to create graphic organizers. When you're finished, save it to your camera roll and create a new one.
Whatever your New Year's Resolution there's an app for that! Here are three free apps to use everyday in the new year. Get Healthy

Computers are everywhere, but fewer schools teach computer science than 10 years ago. Good news is, we’re on our way to change this. If you've heard about the Hour of Code before, you might know it made history. More than 100 million students have tried an Hour of Code.
With the Hour of Code, computer science has been on homepages of Google, MSN, Yahoo! and Disney. Over 100 partners joined together to support this movement. Last year, every Apple Store in the world hosted an Hour of Code and even President Obama wrote his first line of code as part of the campaign. This year, let's make it even bigger. We’re asking every elementary, intermediate, and middle school campus in Crowley to join in for the Hour of Code 2015. We would love to see your campus get involved with an Hour of Code event during Computer Science Education Week, December 7-13. Here’s what you can do.

This program encourages middle and high school students to take some time over Thanksgiving to interview older relatives and publish them as part of the StoryCorps collection. Visit the site and download the free teacher toolkit and IOS or Android app.

Finding the "right" app to teach high school chemistry or elementary school art can be daunting to say the least. Of course you can always do a search in the app store using the words "chemistry" or "art" but you may not like the results. Wouldn't it be great if someone else could check out this apps for you. Well, someone has. Actually several people. Here are some of my favorite sites for app descriptions and reviews. http://www.educatorstechnology.com/ http://hookedoninnovation.com/ http://www.appitic.com/ http://bridgingapps.org/ |
