Thing 7

I have been using Pinterest for some time.  I think it is a great way to save ideas on boards and to see what other people are finding.  I had not used Pinterest for a lot of library ideas but I checked out some of the suggested library boards to follow and now I am hooked on all of the great ideas and lesson plans that are out there.

Thing 6

I tried the CloudOn app to use with my Google Drive account.  I like that I am able to edit and save my Word documents on my Ipad.  I think this app will be very useful.

Thing 5

We have used Dragon Dictation with some of the students in our school.  It seems to work okay for those students who have a hard time with the actual writing.  Students seem to like it also.  I downloaded the Remember the Milk app and used it for awhile. I usually use the Notes and Calendar feature on my phone but this seems to have a lot of features that are useful.

Thing 4

I downloaded Flipboard but I don't follow that many blogs or news sites, so I felt like it would not be useful for me. I would prefer to get my content from the websites when I have the time or need to get the information.

Thing 3

I downloaded the Google Search app on my phone and plan to download it to my IPad.  I don't use SIRI much on my phone but i might use Google Search.  I like the Google Goggles and I tried it on a few things.  I scanned the bar code on the book Journey and it showed the book but then took me to websites about the band Journey and other things.  I already use the Qrafter app to scan QR codes so I did not try the QR scanner app.
