iPad: Did You Know. . .
. . . if you use the iCal app, you can see your daily plan by placing your finger on the time and drag downward. A brown drop down menu appears which displays the days plans. Also, when adding an event to your ical you can have the ipad alert you days to minutes ahead of the event. This alert is just the drop down menu revelaing when you log onto or open your ipad. The iCal also has the ability for you to invite others to your event.

Web Tool of the Week

  
Create A Graph - allows students to create various types of graphs one step at a time. You determine the type of graph needed, add the data and learn how to label all the parts. It is awesome. I used this last year for students to design their own MAPS data as bar graphs and see their improvement! We used three years of Spring and Fall measurements.
