Have been very busy getting back into the new school year and the new 7 period day. There a number of new apps out for the iPad so gather your mobile devices and have some fun!
The link above goes to a short lesson that I created about dihybrid squares when pairing two Pocket Frogs for a biology lesson. Neat little app and quick and easy to use.
SMART launched their app for the iPad this past week. I have just finished editing a notebook file that I had stored in Dropbox. Was easy to dump down to the iPad and edit. But it looks like I have to email it back to me instead of being able to return it to the Dropbox. Hope there is a update for that soon!
SketchExplorer, Geometry Pad, and MathGraph all look promising but have not had the chance to play. Geogbra was to some out with an app shortly, too.
Am teaching two Research 1 classes using the glass art as the base for teaching science skills. We have completed our first project, fused photo frames. They came out very nice. Our second project involves research on the 8 bear species of the world. We are part of a pilot program testing a curriculum of bears put out by the University of Colorado. Very nice and lots of info are packaged into 8 lessons that stress STEM strategies. We are creating mosaic stepping stones showing each bear's face and distinguishing characteristics. Will post photos shortly of the frames and stones.
