Nearpod--Nearpod is a presentation tool that allows teachers to create a presentation and bring it to life by pushing it out to students and guiding their activity.. It involves the student in the presentation by having them interact with and submit responses on any device. The teacher can monitor and measure student results, which is something that can be difficult to keep track of when students are only participating verbally or sporadically in class. Showbie-Showbie is the fastest, easiest, and most effective app for assignments and feedback in your iPad classroom. THE SHARED FOLDER: Documents, images, instructions and comments you add to the shared folder are instantly distributed to your entire class. PHOTOS + VIDEO: Grab an image or video from your camera roll, or capture a document on the fly with your device’s camera, then crop and adjust it in Showbie. DOCUMENTS FROM ANYWHERE: Add documents from your computer, favourite iPad app, Dropbox or Google Drive in a couple of taps. COMMENTS, LINKS + VOICE NOTES: You can even record a voice note with verbal instructions for your students. See.Touch.Learn-free app that can be used by the special needs students.

Thank you to the WA Foundation for supporting WA teachers!! Jeff Myers iPadpalooza Highlights……… Two of the highlights that I attended; Accelerated Math 2.0 -presented the effectiveness and need for digital math practice. Will be incorporating Think Through Math in class. Google Classroom -I am building this resource that will house daily lessons, links, and assignments for students to reference ** I also had the opportunity to hear Derrick Brown speak on Leadership. His is the Principal at the Young Mens’ Leadership Academy in San Antonio. He spoke about the Power of One. How one voice, one teacher, can have a lasting impact on a student. He spoke of teaching young men to be Gentlemen and to act with pride, dignity and compassion. I believe that I have always tried to do this as a teacher and coach, but hearing Mr. Brown inspired me to make sure it is a priority for me.

Ch e c k pr iv a c y se t t in g s Ro n Cl a r k Academ y June 2016 I was impressed with their House System and how it is incorporated into the school. Westlake is trying to emulate this same positive attitude at our campus with our four House System: Thoreau, Wheatley, Whitman, and Keller. The training addressed topics such as positive culture, respectful atmosphere, high expectations and engagement. This experience was an incredible team building activity for the participants,too. --Lisa Re d d in g HOUSES Incorporate d into most aspects of the school All In Giv in g 100%, 100% of the tim e.
