Today started out with a bang!! From the get-go we jumped in and started to use some very creative and engaging apps- Pic Collage.  Pic Collage can be used for many different tasks and projects.  It is user-friendly and grabs the learner right away.  I love how we used it as an introduction activity.  This would be a great "getting to know you" activity at the beginning of the school year with staff and students.

I can see this course being a very costly course because we are being introduced to a ton of great apps that are really cool and valuable.  I just want to purchase them all!!!  Which brings me to my next point-are teachers responsible for funding these programs?  At my last school we had two iPads that were shared by the whole school.  I ended up purchasing my own iPad and have been loading it up with apps that are valuable for my students.  Unfortunately for the students I will not be at my school the 2014-15 school year and I will be taking my iPad with me.

I love the hands-ons exploration part of the course.  I am the type of learner that needs to teach myself a program to truly understand it.  This course feels like it's going to be full of these opportunities.
