iPad Resources from the Ripon Tech Academy

By Anonymous -
Last year we had the opportunity to begin using iPads with our students through our Media Center.  We had 12 iPads available. This made creating online content and utilizing educational apps very doable.

 This year we are supposed to be getting 12 more ipads in the Media Center which should make the possibilities even greater for student creation!  :)

 I plan to make the best use of these iPads and to help me out I can refer to the generous amount of iPad apps shared by various presenters at the Ripon Summer Tech Academy.

 Dan King shared multimedia apps in this presentation.  Consider using the iTalk app and the VidEditor app.


Dan also shared a nice collection of apps for creating ebooks.  Click here to see this presentation.  Last year we used the Book Creator app as well as Story Kit and I was very impressed with both of these apps.


 Tim Nielsen also shared wonderful lists of apps.

 It's going to take a while to work my way through these lists, but I love all of the choices and the possibilities.  Last year we focused quite a bit on creation apps such as Educreations and Explain Everything for creating tutorials.
This year I would like to focus more on math and literacy.  The Write About This and Geoboard apps look really good.


If you are lucky enough to have iPads available to your students, I hope you make the best of this technology and get those iPads in the hands of your students.

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

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...
