Every time I help a teacher get ready for a new project or activity in their class, I make up a resource page on my school site so that the students have resources outside of class. Surprisingly this is the first time I got asked to help with Garageband, which can be a great app…
The document camera has the potential to be more than just a digital overhead projector. Not many people use the camera on the document camera for other than viewing something they are writing on.
