Free Interactive Whiteboard App for Ipads

Mobile App Monday


IPEVO Whiteboard turns your ipad into an interactive whiteboard.  This resource is a great way for the student to become the teacher. Students can record what they know and then save it to their google drive. It's simple and easy to use. The app gives your students the capability to draw and annotate directly onto a real-time camera image or an image all ready stored on the ipad. The newly added ruler and protractor is an added bonus for any math class.

Google Shortner

Tech Tip Tuesday



The Goo.gl URL Shortner not only makes long URLs shorter, it also gives you an option for a QR Code. I love this! It's so easy to use - just install the extension from the Web Store through your Chrome browser. The extension will appear at the top of your browser next to the Omnibox.

Just navigate to the website you want to shorten, then click the extension. It will provide you with the shortened URL and the QR code. Right click on the QR code to copy it - then you can paste it anywhere you want it.

Fabulous, Fun, and Free!

Mobile App Monday




Pic Collage was one of the first apps I downloaded on my iPad and I've been using it ever since.

Using the simple layout options, select the best one for your photos, and then add photos from your device or from the web. You can also add text and stickers, change the background, and create special effects for your photos. 



Your creations can be saved to your device, instagram, twitter, facebook, or tumblr.

This app is an absolute must for students. It can be used in any subject area and can be as detailed as you want it to be.
