What I'm Lovin' Wednesday - Free iBook on Using iPads!

I'm joining Covered with Glitter and Glue for What I'm Lovin' Wednesday (on Thursday).

Here's what's cast a love spell on me this week:

 

1.

On Tuesday I took a class on using iPads in the classroom, and learned lots of things which I will share in future posts.

One of the things I learned about really stood out, and when I heard about it I immediately knew I had to share it with other teachers.

This is a free item that is available through the iBooks store.

To download it just go to the store and search

Hot Apps 4 HOTS.

 

Two teachers wrote this iBook, and it contains easy lessons to use with free and popular apps.

The lessons are easy to understand, and look simple to implement in the classroom.

Here's a sample page:

There are lessons that directly address each level of Bloom's Taxonomy.

It really seems to be a useful resource.

 

2.

Last week I went on a trip to Boston, and I LOVED the hotel we stayed in.

It was called the Hotel Marlowe, and was on the banks of the Charles River, near the Museum of Science.

We got free breakfast every morning, a $10 gift card for the mini-bar, and before arriving they sent an e-mail asking to send a "family" picture to be placed in the room.

I sent a pic of my cuddly dog.

Oh, and did I mention Justin Timberlake was in our hotel bar on Saturday night?

YES, he was!

Unfortunately I didn't find out about it until the next day, and never saw him.

So close and yet so far.  Darn it!

I'm loving the way my video for Teacher's Notebook turned out.

Check it out HERE, and while you're there check out the items in my store that are on sale until Sunday!

 

 

Monday Made It (OnTuesday) - TN Video and Sale, and Blogger Exchange

Happy Tuesday!

I'm a day late for Monday Made It but wanted to slide something in because Tara's making this popular linky a monthly one until next summer.

For this week's MMI I am sharing a video I created using iMovie for Teachers Notebooks' Back To School Sale.

 

I created a teaching tip video on "Creating an Interactive Math Focus Wall" (as you can see below in a picture from the website).

Here is a sneak peek at some of things I explain in the video:

 

The polka dot background in these slides is from Covered in Glitter and Glue!

Also, all the items in my Teachers Notebook store are on sale until Sunday. 

 

I finally stopped by school yesterday and found a package from my Blogger Exchange buddy on my desk!

 

I found a package filled with goodies from Erika at Reyes Remarkable Rants!

I had tutor yesterday afternoon and the student I was working with loved the cool mechanical pencils.

Thanks to Erika for all the cool new school things!

Thanks, too, to Covered in Glitter and Glue  and Adventures of Ms. Smith for organizing the Blogger Exchange!

 

  Hope you'll check out my video and sale on the Teachers Notebook site.
