1. iOS 11 Screen Recording-The new iOS11 has a new screen recording feature for your iPad or iPhone. This means that you can record short directions with or without audio for your students. Here are the instructions for the recording process. When you are done recording, it will save your video to your camera roll. I then recommend uploading the video directly to Schoology on your iPad. I have found that when sending the video to your computer and trying to upload it that way, you lose the audio. If you are interested in sending your screen recordings to your laptop, let me know and I can walk you through those steps!
2. Study Island-All grade levels met with Daryl today to go over best practices for Study Island in our classes. I was able to sit in on the 8th Grade meeting and we decided on a few action items that will probably apply to you too! First, set up your classes and add your students for this year. Please include the period number, class, and your last name in the class name. Delete any unused classes from last year. Next, choose a skill that matches what you are working on in class and create and assign an assignment. After your students have completed the assignment, review the data to inform your instruction. Then rinse and repeat! Let me know if you have any questions or if your team (or just you!) would like to schedule a webinar with Daryl. 3. Passwords-It's always a good idea to revisit our password practices! Check out this Adobe Spark from last year that I'm still quite proud of! It's important that we keep both our personal information and our students' information safe!

1. Study Island & Schoology-Now that we have gone through our Study Island training, we can start creating ways to integrate it into our classroom routines! One way to integrate the two would be to link Study Island to a Schoology assignment and have the students submit a screenshot of their assignment/practice results. Any other ideas to merge these two platforms?
2. Charging iPads-Occasionally iPads will not recognize a charger when it has been plugged in. Usually, this is because the iPad has not been restarted recently. To fix this, hard reset the iPad by holding the Home and Power buttons until the screen turns black and the white apple appears. 3. EdPuzzle-This is a wonderful app that you can use to integrate questions into any video! Jeni Teramoto has used this site to mashup the STEMScopes video guide with the actual video. Christine O'Brien has added questions to her own flipped videos for stronger student participation and understanding. Take a tour of EdPuzzle here and decide if this is something that you can use in your classroom! |
