Apps intro

Played with the iPad some. I have a Kindle Fire; but that is as close to the technology I have experienced. Fire is easier to manipulate.
Downloaded a few few apps. Mona sent us some information today about some apps that would be good for school. Also, I can get some free from Amazon Apps.If I find something fabulous I will post.
Would like to use the iPad with my Intelliboard since it died years ago. There is always money for new; but not to repair and I did not get a replacement.
I keep maps taped to my whiteboard so no one will write on it.  My room is used for community night classes and SAT/ACT on weekends; so there are people in it constantly.

Projector problems

My lap top in the classroom attached to my projector was having problems. My lap top was taken out to be re-imaged. It could not be re-imaged, so I was given another one. Seemed to work OK until I wanted to use a PowerPoint this week.
My PowerPoint looked fine on the computer screen, but when projected, only part of the screen was visible. I could move around to see all part; but that is not conducive to a class discussion, especially for 6 classes. Really frustrating.
Mona (sysop) came in to see if she could fix it. Finally got it usable; but the underlying problem was never really removed.
Played around a little with iPad; still need to get iTune cards.
