Technology, oh my!

So blogging isn't my thing. I've realized I'm not a blogger. I'm not a perfectionist or a writer. I'm not unique or creative on my own. I start projects and stop halfway. I beat to my own drummer. However, I'm realizing through this process I do things well. I can "pin pins" like none other. I can create things I see on my own to save money. I don't stop a project once it gets tough or doesn't turn out right, I keep going. I have endurance; just not for running. I don't like to share what I write, but maybe this will help another teacher with an iPad. 

Today, while I was working like every other teacher trying to get ready for the beginning of the year, I found a really cool app. Like so cool, I had to tell everyone about it! I rushed to my phone and immediately texted a few of my teacher friends to tell them too. I searched Pinterest, and immediately found this unique teacher blog by Kate called, "Purely Paperless". She wrote this INCREDIBLE article about a really cool teacher app called "Reflector". Reflector is just like Apple TV and she goes on to explain how to stream what's on your iPad onto your Mac for your kids to see. I'm realizing this would be really cool to showcase student work or showcase different Apps or even read a fun class read-aloud. 

Here's Kate's article :) I suggest you read it. Maybe she'll even inspire me to go paperless soon! At least maybe I'll try :)
