Some of the Tech I’m Using In My Classroom
How to Setup Apple TV for iPad Mirroring
Learn how to setup your Apple TV so you can successfully mirror your iPad screen wirelessly to your classroom projector or television.
Reflector: Mirroring Your iPad to a PC or Mac Screen
Already have a computer in your classroom and you aren’t interested in paying an additional $100 for an Apple TV? Consider using Reflector or AirServer to mirror your iPad screen to your computer screen. Then, you can project your computer as you normally would!
Reflector App Allows You to Mirror Your iPad Screen to Your Projector or TV Without the Need for an Apple TV.
Use Google Calendar As A Course Website
Looking to build a web presence, but unsure where to start? Consider starting small by creating a course calendar using Google Calendar to post homework, links to YouTube videos or solutions to your math problems? Access the full details here!
Explain Everything
Learn how to use Explain Everything on the iPad to create screencasts. Useful for flipping your classroom, creating tutorial videos to post to YouTube or for your students to communicate their thinking as you triangulate assessment data through conversations, observations and student product.
Doceri – Download App
Similar to Explain Everything, Doceri is FREE and available on the App Store here.
Desmos – Download App
Download the Desmos app for FREE. The ultimate graphing calculator is available on the App Store here. Note that I typically run Desmos directly from the Safari (or any) browser on the iPad so we can login with our Google Apps accounts.
Fluid Math – Download App
Download the Fluid Math 2014 app. Another great graphing calculator that recognizes hand gestures. Available on the App Store here.
GeoGebra – Download App
Download the GeoGebra app FREE. This app is great for abstract concepts and analytic geometry. Available on the App Store here.
How to Effectively Use DragonBox in Your Solving Equations Lesson
DragonBox 12+ is a great app that truly defines Gamification. Students play a game that teaches the rules for solving equations without them even knowing it!
Access some great resources that you can bring into your classroom to spice things up.
