After reading that, let me make a few addendum's.
#1, I drive a VW, not a Maserati. My hoopty has a Porsche engine, assembled in Mexico. Nothing compared to the awesomeness that is sitting in my garage now.........drool.
#2 If you haven't tried songpop yet, it's the most addictive (and absolutely not educational) app since Draw fee! I am a horrible player though...the object is to identify the song and/or artist as fast as you can. I, unfortunately, would rather rock out to the song, then press the button to hear the next. "Wait Songpop, this is my jam!"
BTS Must Haves
1. Teacher toolbox. I found mine at Loews and printed out the labels from the coolest chick around, Megan at I teach, what's your superpower?
2. QR Code scavenger hunt. I can't tell you how awesome these are. They take a little planning (but what scavenger hunt doesn't?) The results are an engaging lesson with a focus on technology....winning!
That's it for now! I'm busy finishing my Brown Bear unit....keep an eye out for it!

All hail the paper cutter! I have a little personal one at home, but have so been missing my industrial one that lives in my classroom. That thing is a beast!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of summer and heal up from that torn rotator cuff. Ouch!
Funny, I am loving ice packs right now too - & soft foods. I had a "gum lengthening" surgery yesterday.

A QR scavenger hunt is such a great idea! I just made some posters similar to yours with my school website and classroom website, the parents thought it was so cool, little do they know, it was so easy! haha.
