I shared a story I once saw about a "Hippo that lives in a house." I said I would share the video...

iPad Apps needed

iPad ....

I was very fortunate to attend a workshop this summer using Apple's new iPad in the classroom. As part of the workshop, I got an iPad for my classroom. YEAH!!! I am now looking for apps that we could use in the classroom. Any suggestions? Leave me a comment on apps that you might like to see on the iPad. They can be apps for any subject.

Favorite app of the week: Civilization Revolution

Thank you Lydia for going the "extra mile" on your pictoword assignment. I loved hearing the explanation on how each of the governments gained and lost their power in ancient Greece. Want to learn more? Ask Lydia to explain her drawings.
