iPads Mania

Sure, there are plenty of movie creating apps and web tools that teachers can use, but there are not many with a 5-10 minute learning curve with so many options!

iMovie on the iPad is the option for quick, effective, and stunning video productions for staff and students.  Today, a teacher shared with me her first iMovie on iPad creation.  The one minute movie provides a great audio, visual, and text description of her students' learning experience with oil spills and there clean up!

Thank you, Mrs. Wojcik for showcasing the wonderful, learning opportunity through an iPad creation app.

Today's Goody Challenge combined everything that is good about our school!

• Students competing to accomplish something
• High School students volunteering their time
• Adults helping organize
