Using Flipboard in High School Geography Class
Today we presented the tremendous Flipboard resource utilizing an iPad or student's personal mobile devices.
The presentation described in detail how Flipboard works for personal and educational learning experiences. In addition, we set up the parameters for the semester long project that can be found on slide 23.
After demonstrating to students the features and power of Flipboard, students were given time to investigate personal interests from football to hunting to politics.
Students commented on a regular basis, "This is so cool!"
Combine the coolness with one of our core objectives, productivity, for any tool that we use and, it was a tremendous learning experience for our students!

World Geography Cultural Study Using Pic Collage and Skitch
In the past, Mrs. Brylski had students create advertisements for a beverage to be sold in a European country. Students would use Microsoft Word or Publisher and the cut and paste method. The final products would be placed into plastic sleeves in a binder.
Since we don't have Microsoft products, we needed a different method. We decided that Pic Collage would be a great alternative because it provides layering, cropping of imported pictures, text, stickers, and multiple exporting options! We did need to incorporate the Skitch app as we experienced a better paragraph writing experience. We simply exported the Skitch creation to our camera roll.
Combine that with the Google Drive app to share the final products with the teacher and a real marketing person, the students are experiencing an authentic learning experience.
