For the iPad - at last!

Check out Google Slides for the iPad! Click and start downloading. On an Android device? They updated your existing version of Google Slides .

PowToon!

Not really sure how to describe this.  Maybe take a whiteboard, some cartoons and mash it with PowerPoint.  PowToons is giving away a free teacher and student account for one year.   I signed up after watching their demo video on the PowToon site. Take a look and see for yourself.

G'Day Mate! Have you seen my Image Mate?

I am missing my Image Mate software.  Any ideas where it went? Absolutely! Click to begin the download .  The file will begin downloading in the lower left corner of your screen.  (I am assuming you are using Chrome.) Double click on the folder when it finishes downloading. Open the folder the pops up. Click on the IM_2.08Setup file. Click Run. Install the software. Check your desktop for the IM icon or your Windows start screen.  Click to launch the newly installed software.

App! We have an app!

Search your app store for Lindbergh Schools. Download and explore.

What happened to my screen? It looks too squished.

Does your screen look a bit squished?  Does it look like a square postage stamp? Follow these steps to restore it back to the fullest aspect ratio you can. Right click on a blank spot on the screen. Select Graphic Properties Choose Display Resolution - change to 1920X1080 Click Apply and OK . Your screen should now be maximized! Note: I put my screen resolution as high as it would go.  Your laptop may have this exact same setting.  My recommendation is adjusting the settings to the max!

(Elementary) How do I broadcast my iPad through my projector?

What is Airserver?   It allows you to show any iPad through the classroom projector.  Use it once and you will be hooked! This PDF  can help walk you through using the Airserver software. How might this be used? Streaming Pandora from iPad. Students demonstrating an app. Teacher demonstrating just about anything. Students showing a finished project.
