Tonight in class we had an App party! I will be writing about some of my favorite stations that I attended.
Kelly Camera Apps
We learned about Camera Plus, and Camera Awesome. You can share the photos you take with these apps. you can also edit. From these apps you can share on social media sites. Camera Awesome is great, because it is free and you can shoot video. We also learned about Instagram, which is a photo sharing site. I love Instagram, and share photos frequently on this app.You may add captions to your photos, and add hashtags and tag people. This makes Instagram very powerful and allows for great searching. We also learned about editing app, iPhoto and Snapseed. Kelly also mentioned TiltShift.
Evernote and Skitch with Lindsi
Evernote is, "a note-taking app on crack!" Says Lindsi. It is web based, Evernote.com. You can use it on your desktop, or an app. It is web based, and it syncs everything. It can make lists, record audio, take pictures. You can attach documents, and use existing photos. It is like edcanvas for notes. You can also set reminders, and it will send you an email. You can also share your note on Twitter, Facebook, email, ect. This would be great for sub plans. You can also add notebooks. You can sync them if you would like to. This would be great for sub plans! We also talked about Evernote Web Clipper. Go to Evernote.com. They have other products. Web Clipper, adds the elephant to your doc. You find an article, save the link to Web Clipper. Once you save it, go to Evernote and sync it. You could make a web clipping note book. We also leaned about Skitch, and it saves to Evernote.
Remind 101 with Maria
This sends out reminders, to parents. It is an app and web based. This does not send your personal email. It is free. You can add classes, input the information and send out reminders. When you set up, you send the text to the phone number to get started. It is a cell phone number that does not have an actual person user. You can send out the text to a phone or email it. You can choose the time that you want the text sent out.
Haiku Deck- Sallie
This would great to use at the beginning of school. Rules and expectations would be great in this app. You could use this for an all about me introduction. Students can make one about them as well. This would also go along with Reading Streets Concept Maps and Amazing Words. This will be fun and easy to use next year. Kids can easily make things in Haiku Deck, upper grades.
