Let them Code! Are you using The Foos app in your classroom? It's awesome and your students will love it! Trust me, download it. You will have a hard time putting down your iPad!  I think it is the best app when it comes to teaching students to code and to work on their problem-solving skills!  


The Foos provides a creative space for students to put basic programming concepts to work.  Your students will love creating their own video games and having their friends play them.  Check it out. But, be warned, your students will want to "play" it all the time.  It's one of those apps that never gets old in your cart of iPads.  Download it today....and play!

Pic Collage is an app that never gets "stale" with students. There are so many ways to integrate and create with this simple, easy to use app. Recently, I taught some of our first graders how to use the scissor tool within Pic Collage. They are learning about different types of weather so I had the students add three types of weather in the form of a label to their collage after setting their background to a weather related picture. We then took selfies that conveyed the emotion they feel when experiencing weather that they chose to add to their collage. I showed the students how to reveal the scissor tool (double tap on image), then had them trim around their selfies.   Simple way to use this awesome creation app in your classroom!
