My iPad is a Digital Photo Frame

By Anonymous -
I own a digital photo frame, but it has been gathering dust on a shelf.  I find the process a bit time consuming.  First I have to plug in the frame.  Then get pictures onto a jump drive and then adjust settings to make the pictures all vertical or all horizontal.  It can take a while.

 Well, I found a better way!  Did you know your iPad can be used as a digital photo display?  It will play a slideshow of all the pictures in your photo gallery or an album.
To do this just turn your iPad on and touch the slideshow icon in the bottom right corner.
See the icon? 

When you push the icon your slideshow will start.  

You can customize the settings of your slideshow.


You can choose the transition of dissolve or origami.  You can decide how long you would like each photo to show: 2, 3, 5, 10, or 20 seconds.  There is also the option for zooming in on faces and shuffle.  Finally you can play the photos in an album rather than all of the photos in your gallery.

I plan to use my iPad as a digital photo frame of pictures from our classroom.  Since I don't currently have pictures of our students yet, I have saved some motivational photos to start the school year.  I plan to take pictures of our students and run a slide show each day.

Have fun making your own slideshow or, better yet, let your students make a slideshow!

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 ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

By Anonymous -

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
