Words of wisdom

Many students will be getting iPads next year for the first time.  Please comment below and tell us what advice you have for students new to iPads.  The more information you can provide, the better.

This assignment is due May 29th.

Finals!

Since final exams are quickly approaching, we would like you to create some helpful study materials for you and your classmates.  It's up to you what you want to do, but some examples are to create a set of flashcards, a slideshow, annotated notes, a screencast recording, a video...the possibilities are endless.  Once you create your study "guide," show it to your teacher and get their approval.  Once they approve it, share it with your classmates by email or by giving them a link.  After that, please describe what you did in the comments below.  Include any links in your comment.  If your study materials can't be included in your comment, email them to Amy.
So, in review, this is what you need to do by April 30th:
1. Create study aide for one class.
2. Show to your teacher and get his/her ok.
3. Share with classmates.
4.  Write about what you did on this blog.  Share your material in your comment or by sending to Amy.
