Snapguide

Want a cool, easy app to see if your students can tell someone how to do something? How about showing your students how to work a problem or do an experiment? On a personal note, maybe you want to show how to knit a ruffle scarf. Try Snapguide!

A colleague asked me if I could help her with Snapguide because she is thinking of using it with her science class after a field trip.  Since I had never heard of Snapguide, I asked her to give me tonight to play with it. I am so glad I did! Here is a link to one I did to just try it out. I made it in less than 10 minutes.

I would spend more time on one for my students or teachers, but I wanted to try it right NOW, and did not want to have to think too hard.

You can insert text, photos, and video. After you make your steps, you can rearrange them if necessary. When you are finished, you publish it for the world to see.

I have not researched the ramifications of student use, but if they are using an email you create and remain anonymous, it should be fine. I will update when I find out more.

Maybe I will make a Snapguide on how to make a Snapguide.

Sending Multiple Pictures from your iPad

If you have ever tried to send pictures to someone from your iPad, and have sent several emails with one picture each, you need to see this. Quite by accident, I discovered how to send multiple pictures in one email. Here's how...

1. Tap on your camera roll (the flower that says "Photos")
2. When you see your pictures, tap "Edit" in the top right corner.


 3. Select the pictures you want to send.


4. Tap "Share" in the upper left hand corner and choose how you want to send them.

Easy, found by accident, works great--just what I need on a Friday afternoon!
