    looks very useful. similar to ability to annotate a web page so only you/your students can see, but this browser plug-in looks much more versatile.

    I have begun to replace some of my trackstars with these. I'll be testing it out soon. I'll let folks know how it goes. It certainly solves common problem.

  • Finally, we can upload photos and videos from the camera roll on the iPad onto websites.
  • Sadly, you can only upload photos and videos. You still can’t upload documents, but it is a big improvement in the workflow.
  • Now that updating apps no longer need passwords, I can rely on the other teachers to do the updates themselves.

  • read this article that explains tbe benefits of Guided Access for special needs students like those with autism and also to prevent cheating. 
  • iOS6 also allows you to enable Guided Access which can lock an app on the screen and turn off the home button as well as other features. This could offer lots of potential for making the iPad more usable in the classroom
  • I also love the fact that in Spotlight you can see the folder in which an app resides! YEA!

  • When I first started blogging, I thought the posts would be the primary focus of the blog. I quickly realized that the comment section was where the blog came to life.
  • Many parents work but would love to volunteer in some way. Last year, I asked parents to become “virtual volunteers” for our blogs. A virtual volunteer is a person who supports the blog by commenting back to students. This type of interaction helps strengthen the home-school connection and makes the comment sections more engaging.
  • With classroom time at a premium, I look for meaningful ways to integrate curriculum; the blog has been the perfect venue. When my class read “The Great Kapok Tree” by Lynne Cherry for language arts, the students followed up their reading by researching a rain forest animal that was mentioned in the story. Each student composed a comment for the blog from the point of view of that animal.

  • During our biography unit, I had each student select a famous person to study. Students submitted a creative comment pretending they were that person. George Washington got a comment from Queen Elizabeth I, Mozart and Tchaikovsky were chatting; the blog comments truly brought these historic people to life!
  • Of all the riches that blogging has brought to my class, the relationships we’ve built with other classrooms around the world have been the most rewarding.
