An App Called Three Ring

By Anonymous -

Yesterday I tried out a new app called Three Ring on my iPad.  Three Ring is used to quickly and easily digitize student work and keep a portfolio of student work or classroom resources.


Here is how it works.  First I signed up for an account at www.threering.com.  Once I had an account, then I set up my classes (math, reading, etc.) and entered my students' names.  


Then I downloaded the app onto our ipad.  It is FREE!


Once I had opened the app, I chose a subject

and student.  Then I clicked on Capture Student Work.

The iPad's camera opened and I took a picture of the student's work.

I also took some pictures of students working together to help keep a record of assigned partners.

I could then view the work I had captured by going to the website on my browser.  From the website I could add more students to the work that was captured and I could add a note like the one you see in the above capture.  I could also upload a file if I wanted to.


This app is so easy and useful.  I'm planning to use Three Ring to capture things even beyond student work.  Perhaps bulletin boards, project samples or desk arrangements.  Anything I want to keep a visual image of.


There is currently no way to share the information in a Three Ring account.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click and drag f

Buncee is a Great Site I learned About This Past Summer If you are an educator I recommend going to edu.buncee.com  This is a free site that allows you to create a slideshow type presentation, but also can be used to blend learning for a lesson or even as a student portfolio or showcase. Your students will enjoy creating content with Buncee as well. When you first open a Buncee you are able to choose a background  from their gallery, from the web or upload an image of your own. Next you can choose from many different types of media to add objects to your page. Once your page is created you can add additional pages and view your Buncee in preview mode whenever you want. I love all of the options for adding media to your pages. The animations, drawings, videos, and stickers make your slides visually appealing. One of the richest types of media you can add is a 360 degree image from Buncee's gallery. These images allow the audience to click and scroll to view
