Student Selection Tools
I thought I'd share some ipad apps I use in my classroom to grouping and random student selection.
NameSelector (free) is the first app. Once you add your students' names you just click the hat.
It selects a random student!
Decide Now! ($0.99) is another app where you can add your names and it creates a wheel (like Wheel of Fortune). Just click the center of the wheel and it spins around and stops on a name.
Pikme (free) is a great app for creating groups with your students.
After entering your names it lets you choose how many groups you would like to have or how many students you want in each group (the other number adjusts accordingly).
Then click create and the app shows you a list of groups!

Smore- Online Newsletter
Have you ever used the site Smore? It is a way to make an online flyer. This is a flyer I made for my students that show what we'll be studying next week. I was able to add links to several songs and videos we will be watching.
I love this because you can share it electronically and I've also posted it on Edmodo so my students can access it. It looks great and it is easy to make. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

Nearpod
Are you familiar with the add Nearpod? This is a great app that I used again with my class today and thought I'd share with you. Check it out in the itunes store by using this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/nearpod/id523540409
You are able to set up a teacher account and upload powerpoints to use with your class.
Here is what the screen looks like once you upload the slide show. Once it is in your library just click the icon for the show you want to use and click launch.
When you launch it you will get a PIN to share with your students. They open the app on their device and enter the code. Then you are able to control the pace of the slide show with your teacher ipad.
I love this app and I've used it a lot with small group instruction. This is the first time I've used it this school year and thought it would be a good thing to share with you. Please let me know if you have any questions about using this app with your class.

How to Make a Telligami
I love using the Telligami app on the iPad with my students. We have made a few of them and I thought I would share this tutorial I made so you can make one for yourself. You could even show this to your students so they can make them as well. Hope this video helps!

Padlet
Have you used padlet.com with your students?
This week in the computer lab I asked my students to respond to a question via Edmodo. I posted a link to this padlet wall. They were able to post their answers for everyone to see.

Created with Padlet
I also like padlet because it looks the same even when you access it with the iPad (no flash required). Here is another example of a page my students used during our science lesson on weathering.
