Tool 8

Here are some things I learned from Tool 8:

1. Netbooks have cameras! I'm excited to use this feature to record class projects and for Skype.

2. ITouches need to be connected to SBISD Wireless. To do this, Select the Settings app on each ITouch. Choose Wifi, choose SBISD (in all caps), enter credentials (I believe that's our login/password), and Accept Mustang (not sure what that is, but I'm sure I can figure it out when I get there!)

3. SBISD has approved Apps for us. To find them, go to Edtech.springbranchisd.com, select "Tools" app, click "Link for Searchable Database", a search engine will pop up to help you sort through apps by suject, grade level, etc.

I am very excited to implement the netbooks/ITouches into workstations. I think I'll have 5th grade helper set up my stations in the morning until some of my more responsible students are ready to help.
