TikaTok - Classroom Book Publishing NYPL Biblion: World's Fair EngageNY This project is the brainchild of Neil and Cristina Heffernan. In 1994, the two met teaching middle school math in Baltimore City. Cristina was a returning Peace Corps volunteer and Neil was a Teach for America teacher. He is pleased that any Google Classroom teacher can assign EngageNY problems into the stream. Neil and Cristina have built this tool with the help of over 100 students from Worcester Polytechnic Institute and by using the feedback from hundreds of teachers. You must have a Google Classroom account in order to use the features on this site. You begin by finding a problem set, exit ticket, or classwork item from the grade, module, and lesson they are using in EngageNY. The Assignment link in the student's stream brings them to the math problems where they can solve the problems and enter their answers. The Assignment link in the teacher's stream brings them to the report where they can access detailed information on each student's performance.
Five Tools for Creating Animations on Chromebooks Yesterday's post about the PuppetMaster app prompted a couple of people to ask me if there is anything similar available for Chromebook use. While I can't think of anything that is free and exactly like PuppetMaster, here are some options for creating animated videos on Chromebooks. Animatron is a nice tool for creating animated videos and images. To create a video on Animatron you start by dragging and dropping characters on a background scene and then choosing how long each character will be displayed in a scene. You can also set the length of time for each character in a scene to be in motion. By using Animatron's timeline editor you can make objects appear and disappear from a scene. PowToon is a popular platform for creating animated videos. Toontastic 3D is available to use on Chromebooks that support the use of Android apps. MySimpleshow is a free tool for creating Common Craft-style explanatory videos. Scratch is designed for introducing students to programming.

The 10 Best AR Apps for Classrooms Using Apple’s New ARKit The recent popularity of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) has put a spotlight on immersive technology—and our curriculum may never look the same again. In the midst of all this enthusiasm, Apple has released a new resource for app developers—the ARKit—that has supercharged augmented reality for fields like entertainment, gaming, advertising and, of course, education. The ARKit is often mistaken as a single app, but it’s actually a tool for developers to create their own apps. While researching the possibilities, I’ve reached out to companies to see how they plan to make the technology that will one day rock our classrooms. While testing some apps before the release of iOS 11, I was overwhelmed with the educational potential and benefit for our students contained in this technology. Here, I’ve made my list of top 10 recommended ARKit apps (as of today) that can drastically transform our lessons and the interactions with content. #10 Magicplan (freemium) – Measure with AR

Quinn Rollins writes this about comics in his book, Play Like a PIRATE: It’s funny that we endorse combining pictures with words as a good way to tell stories to young children, but as they get older, we want children to abandon their picture books. Comics in the classroom There is power in students having to go through the creative process. Here’s an example of what a comic strip in Google Slides or Drawings could look like! Step 2: Add images
