However, Show Me is so easy to use and the kiddos have no problems with it. The same company made another app that I haven't tried yet, but it looks like its primarily for annotation. I'll let you know.<br /><br />Regards,<br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-16546397500300632892013-03-05T14:03:25.668-08:002013-03-05T14:03:25.668-08:00Tracy

What a great way for students to share their thinking through the record option, especially for younger students or students who struggle with writing.jwalkerhttp://blogs.goaj.org/commoncore/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-58914682275774437702013-02-07T21:21:12.342-08:002013-02-07T21:21:12.342-08:00Hi Jane,

I formerly had this written:<br /><br /><b><a href="http://www.visualead.com/qurify2" rel="nofollow">Qurify</a></b>: You can type in a short message or the URL for students to scan. It will take them directly to the website.

It's great to hear how you and Kind...Hi Linda,<br /><br />It's great to hear how you and Kindergarten are sharing the iPads. It maximizes use by students.<br /><br />Yes, figuring out how to transfer what's on the iPads to publish on blogs are difficult. We encounter the same, and since the teacher computers are PC, it can be tricky. Below are some of the "fixes" I've figured out so far, and would love to hear if anyone has other tips to share:<br /><br />1) <b>Puppet Pals</b>: This can be exported to the Photo Album. Once in the Photo Album, it can be sent to YouTube (or emailed if you've set up the mail box). <br /><br />2) <b>Toontastic</b>: With this app, once you click "Done", it has the "Share this cartoon online on ToonTube" checked. So, you create an account from the iPad, then you get an email for everything created to have final approval to publish. On that page, there is also an embed code for your blog (and options to email it, Tweet it, or share on FaceBook). <br /><br />3) <b><a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/storykit/id329374595?mt=8" rel="nofollow">StoryKit</a></b>: Here you have the option to "Share." Once you click <i>share</i>, you will <i>Send story link by email</i>. If the email is not set up, I believe you can still copy the link and paste it into Gmail if you log on through the Internet (Safari). I don't see an embed code, so perhaps take a screenshot of the cover of the story, then place a link in the comment to take your readers to the story on their site.<br /><br />I look forward to seeing some of your students creations published on your blog! So glad you're inspired to give it a try. Please come back and share a link or two with us for more examples. <br /><br />Kind regards,<br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-90750282051400909802013-02-03T09:28:40.643-08:002013-02-03T09:28:40.643-08:00Dear Tracy,
Thanks so much for your iPads part 1 ...Dear Tracy,<br /><br />Thanks so much for your iPads part 1 and part 2. I'll be sharing part 1 with my students as we are just learning about ipads. I have four iPads that I share with a kindergarten class. We alternate weeks, which isn't great. However, during their week...the kindergarteners are finished using them at 10:00. So, I walk down and get them so we can use them for the balance of the day. <br /><br />We are just starting to create content. We're exploring Story Kit, Puppet Pals, and Toontastic. I'm still trying to figure out how to publish the stories on our blog. I have Camtasia on my laptops, but am not sure exactly how to get the stories to the laptops and embed them on the blog. The learning never ends! :-)<br /><br />We have Fotobabble on the iPads, but I've not done anything with it yet! You've inspired me to try something on Monday!<br /><br />I appreciate the work that goes into creating your iPad posts, and I am grateful! <br /><br />Your pal,<br /><br />Linda Mrs. Yollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08553708205781596148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-7819673641997446592013-02-02T11:36:01.202-08:002013-02-02T11:36:01.202-08:00Fabulous suggestions!

It looks like things are really off to a great start for you with iPads in classrooms. Do you have any tips to share about getting started with iMovie in the classroom? How was the learning curve?<br /><br />Kind regards, <br />TracyTracy Watanabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720820771623655582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1649011417136906486.post-80775974430087117912013-02-01T20:56:21.261-08:002013-02-01T20:56:21.261-08:00Kathy, once again, thank you for adding Wall Wishe...Kathy, once again, thank you for adding <a href="http://wallwisher.com/" rel="nofollow">Wall Wisher</a> to the list of Sticky Notes that works with iPads.
