I searched for an interactive telling time site to use with 2nd graders next week.

laurenbounds

5:01 PM

I found some amazing 100th day activities! I can't wait to teach my children the bundle song! Also, I found some great space/solar system sources and videos.

Susan Beam 1

5:01 PM

yes, I marked one as a favorite and need to preview more

Sharon Hall

5:01 PM

Unit page

5:07 PM

Gretchen Sting

5:07 PM

Using it also to list many sites with urls listed is very quick and easy to do with your public page

It is also a great way to have the kid friendly sites easily available for the parents that want more to enrich.

private school so most of my kids have ipads as well :) (I don't though)

Gretchen Sting

5:09 PM

Awesome! Do yo use them in class?

laurenbounds

5:09 PM

Sadly Our owner doesn't allow the kids to bring electronics to class. She's worried they would get broken/stolen

Gretchen Sting

5:10 PM

Oh too bad. Ipads in classrooms have gone crazy!

laurenbounds

5:10 PM

I'd have to find a way to turn angry birds off first though ..lol

Gretchen Sting

5:11 PM

Funny

Melissa Henning

5:11 PM

Sad when the kids have the ipads and teachers don't. I want one - lol

Susan Beam 1

5:11 PM

Not many of our students have ipads at home and we do not have any in the building for student use.

Gretchen Sting

5:12 PM

Our teachers have them, no student ipads.

Hard to share one ipad with 21 kids.

5:12 PM

Melissa Henning

5:12 PM

I have a macbook pro - does that count for anything - lol

Gretchen Sting

5:12 PM

Absolutely.

I heard there is a new ipad 3 coming.

5:13 PM

Sharon Hall

5:13 PM

lol, you NEED an iPad, mine is my best friend!

Gretchen, I heard that also - perhaps in March?

5:13 PM

Gretchen Sting

5:13 PM

I am amazed at all the professions that use ipads, medical, art, photography, construction, pilots

Funny, it has changed my wardrobe. I now have to have a purse big enough to stuff it in. It goes everywhere with me.

5:14 PM

Sharon Hall

5:15 PM

Ha! I haven't done that yet!

Melissa Henning

5:18 PM

Sharon - IF they created a public page - they could share the URL with us, if they wish

Sharon Hall

5:18 PM

that would be great

Melissa Henning

5:18 PM

I love that you can truly create the public page in about 5-10 minutes! That is great

laurenbounds

5:18 PM

How do you add a link to your public page again?

Thanks!

5:19 PM

A link to website to share with my parents

5:20 PM

That's ok! Thanks

5:20 PM

Melissa Henning

5:21 PM

laurenbounds

5:21 PM

Susan Beam 1

5:21 PM

Sorry, I did not made a public page. I was busy searching on another topic for 1st grade next week.

I do think that I will use this feature. It sounds like a great PR opportunity.

5:22 PM

laurenbounds

5:22 PM

Great!

Gretchen Sting

5:22 PM

It is very helpful!

laurenbounds

5:23 PM

I started working on the public page. I'm going to keep working on it and share it with my parents soon.

Sharon Hall

5:23 PM

Gretchen Sting

5:23 PM

It is so much easier on th epublic page!

Sharon Hall

5:23 PM
