App Spotlight: PicCollage

I absolutely LOVE  Pic-Collage because it can be used in any subject or grade level. Think virtual poster.  It’s safe (you can turn off the ability to pull pictures from the web in settings), and it’s FREE.  It’s pretty intuitive if you play around with it, but just in case, here’s a tutorial on how to use it:

Check out the following posts for examples of how it has been used so far in classrooms:

I would LOVE to help you and your students learn how to use this app!!  It’s so fun and easy, and the kids love it!

 

Spelling City on the iPods and iPads

I know many of the teachers in my schools use Spelling City in their classrooms. I see the students come to the computer lab on Fridays to take their tests.  I was so excited, though, to see that the site now has an iPad/iPod Touch app!  Now students can practice in their classrooms or on their own handheld devices.  It does allow you to take the Spelling Test, but it does not allow  you to print results.   You could have students bring you their device when they are done, though, and record their score right off their screen.   If you have the premium membership, student grades area already recorded for you in a grade book  like format.
