Have You Heard of Apple Clips? Content Creation Tool

CONTENT CREATION TOOL

This easy tool will become a FAVE for educators!

Just ran across this FREE new app called "Apple Clips" that I think will blow away teachers! It has a simple interface, no complicated madness, and allows you to create simple videos that create captions automatically (can be edited too). I think it is worth checking out. I watched this video podcast from TeacherCast by Jeffery Bradbuty that explains more details. Then I read more information in the Apple Store. By the way, the dictation feature will not work on older ipads or devices.
=======================================================

Special thanks to Teacher Cast for sharing great tools for educators!

Fun Online Snow Activity

Well, it is cold outside and I wanted to share a fun online activity in support of Southeast Texas' coldest day this season. It is suppose to be down in the low 20's tomorrow. So friends, grab those devices, computers, and go to this site to create your OWN unique snowflake. It is called SnowDays-It's Aways Snowing Somewhere . Create your own and then you can share it, print it, and if you really are crazy about it, you can order items for a cost. I like that it has an UNDO feature, so you can get specific on how you want yours to look. If you hover over the snowflakes, you can see all the different places people are from who have created ones. There have been over 12 million made. Here is one I have made. I can't wait to see yours. Enjoy the cold weather.

Give Studyladder Another Look

Teachers, if you have not checked out Studyladder lately, now is a great time to give them another look. They have made some great changes and it is FREE (did I say free) for teachers. If you list your students before the end of September, they will receive EXTRA access, free to any of the tasks you set up. (Normally, there is 3 activities per day from home) What is Studyladder? It is a web based educational program designed by teachers like YOU. For grades PK - 7th or for those students needing some remediation. They cover content in Mathematics, Literacy, and more. What's great is that it can be used at school and at home. What I like about it is the interactive activities for the SMART boards. That is enough said, right? Simply go to www.studyladder.com and check out the resources for yourself. Hope you find it useful for your class!

The KYVL tool: How to Do Research

What a great tool to help students learn how to do Research. Great interactive with that steps them through the process. I can see using this together as they learn the process, then have them do a project independently following the steps from the tool.
