I spent the day yesterday listening to Richard Byrnes, author of the blog Free Technology for Teachers & iPad Apps for School. He's someone I've followed (and continue to follow) in the "teacher tech world." It was fun to hear and see him up close. The hardest part is going home with overload! Check out his stuff and follow him if you don't already!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Wednesday, December 5, 2012 Bell Ringer media type="custom" key="21615838" UPDATE TO iOS 6 - Settings (this may take a while if you have not done it)

ACCESSIBILITY - Speak Selection 



ACCESSIBILITY - GUIDED ACCESS media type="youtube" key="cG578BxeGfk" height="360" width="480"
 * Use ‘Guided Access’: ** Basically, ‘Guided Access’ is a feature that came with the iOS 6 update where you can disable certain hardware buttons on the student’s iPad (like the home button and lock button for example), and also keep the student focused on one app or one part of the screen. You can also disable the touch-screen through ‘Guided Access’ if you just want the student to focus on reading.
