Good news if you're a school who uses Pic Collage (as you should). There's now an education version which gets rid of those annoying game ads that pop up everytime you finish a collage. No account is needed, and there are no social media links to distract the little darlings while they are creating. One of the best uses we found in the classroom is the ability to make title pages for our books in Book Creator (app smashing). This app is perfect for iPad classrooms and is one of the apps on our core app list. Basically it's pic collage with the added bonus of being safe and secure. The app is $2.99, but hopefully by now you're using Apple VPP which means it's half price if you buy 20. #appr
Last week saw us working with the Staff of Medowie Christian school. A lot of fun and learning was had. The aim of the session was to create a buzz around the new iPad devices that staff had been allocated. A lot of times the fear factor for some teachers is quite high. Fear of the network going down, fear of not knowing enough about what the device can do. Over two days we spent a lot of time immersing staff in the 'eco system' of iPads. By the end of the sessions staff were very positive about using the devices with their classes, which was one of our main goals. By giving staff confidence around core apps, they have a strong base from which to spring board from. Good luck Medowie and see
