iPads in the Classroom

SLEEC Venue for Meetings

 

Timm Runner

I was pleased to be able to attend the second in a series of four sessions about using iPads in the classroom. Timm teaches English at the college level but has some high school students in his classes. His session was very interesting. He had some good apps to recommend. I am purchasing a stylus based on his recommendation.  Unfortunately I had to leave before it was over.

Mary O'Brien's area of Virtual Maine

The Tidy Corner of Virtual Maine

I was surprised to hear Mary O'Brien on Bit by Bit Seedlings podcast with Bob Sprankle and John "Pathfinder" Lester this past week. She and several others were talking about Reaction Grid and Virtual Maine an island for all students and teachers in Maine to use. Today I took the time to find it and travel around. I notice Techplex is creating things there. It was easy to find Mary's contribution in this corner because it's organized and purposeful looking. She's able to take a couple of her third graders in-world after school. Lucky!!
