ePortfolio Assignment 2:

I have been worried that I would not have anything to blog about this week. I have been waiting for something to go wrong to inspire this blog entry. Until 2:00 this afternoon everything has been smooth sailing. Any technology problems that came about were easily resolved.

As you know from last week’s blog, I attended a webinar discussing the iPad apps for educators today. As I was preparing to participate in the webinar I discovered that there were no microphones, headsets or even headphones to be found. Nor could I find a quiet place in the entire school to use a computer. 

Finally, I found myself in the science office, beside of a copy machine. It was time for some improvising. I turned the speakers on the computer as high as they would go and sat close to the machine. It was rather frustrating but successful. I was able to pick up several new apps that I plan to use in lesson very soon. The apps that were particularly interesting were Science 360, Project Noah and Lino. You can decide if these apps are for you by downloading them for free at the apps store.
