If you picked up on the error on the video, I apologize. Here is an error-free updated video. That's what I get for rushing and making careless mistakes!

Homework Help Lesson 2.5

I am going to start posting a link to our ShowMe account, which I will be using throughout the school year as a homework help site. The link will lead you to a video demonstration on how I taught the lesson in class that day. I am starting with Lesson 2.5 because that seemed to be one of the most difficult lessons we've done so far, but I am working on the rest from Chapter 2 and I will post them soon. Enjoy!

iPad Feature: PaperPort Notes (Document Editor)

This week, Sydney and Sydney show one way to use PaperPort Notes in the classroom. This is a great paper-saving app and very student-friendly. It comes in handy  if you're like me and can't stand assignments on notebook paper. One is always lost, the paper rips, etc. In our room, we use it for our daily Math assignment called Mountain Math. This is a review activity where they answer just two or three questions per day during the first five minutes of class. All I have to do is create a blank document on my Mac, save it to Dropbox, then the students have access to it. Here is how:

iPad Feature: Dropbox

I've decided that each week I want to showcase a student or two from my room that has mastered an app or operation on our classroom iPads. Since I am still learning a good bit about these and all of the AMAZING things to do with them, I thought this may be helpful. This week, our fourth graders learned how to properly use Dropbox to open a document, edit it, then return it to Dropbox.

This comes in really handy in the classroom and saves a good bit of paper. One way we use it is for our daily review assignment called Mountain Math. Using my Macbook, I create a master document of the questions and save it in the "Mountain Math Folder" of Dropbox at the beginning of the week. As my students begin the assignment, they open the master, edit their answers into it, then re-save using their name. Once that is done, they can come in the next day, find their name, and continue working. By Friday, they have a complete assignment and I can check that they've completed it correctly from my own computer. Here is my student, Ally, showing a quick version of how they do it!

Coming next week: Paperport Notes (Document Editor) Have a great weekend!
