iPads in the Classroom

Happy Wednesday!

As I sit in my quiet house (nugget is at gymnastics camp) reviewing and preparing for an interview this afternoon I stumbled across a presentation I made a few years ago for a county wide professional development workshop. Honestly, I forgot I still had the presentation saved and thought I would share it with you all.  If you haven't heard of or used Prezi, I definitely recommend it (it's free).  I love the fun presentation style choices provided to input my information.  Prezi is basically a "turn key" style presentation tool that can be used for lesson presentations or student presentations.  My students LOVED sharing projects, math concept procedures, and book reviews using Prezi.  Click the picture to be taken to my brief presentation on suggestions of effectively using iPads in the classroom.  What do you use to engage your students?  Post below...I enjoy reading comments and writing back.  Have a fabulous Wednesday!

Giveaway Winner!

Hey Everyone!

I'm back from sunny Florida, and definitely enjoyed the short getaway to visit friends from college. We had a blast and I'm recharged to rock out an abundance of new products for back to school.

Like the title states, I announced my giveaway winner on Periscope last Thursday morning.  Let me tell you, Periscope is a fun social media platform to watch and learn from other teachers; however, a nerve-racking experience when the camera is flipped and you're the person doing the talking.  If you missed who won, it was Alison from Rockin' and Lovin' Learnin'.  She chose the Black/White Baby Dot Flats from Ja-Vie and the Fraction Bundle and Context Clues Task Cards from my store.  Click the pictures to be taken to my store. :)

So fun!!  I appreciate the enthusiasm and participation in my first giveaway.  I learned from the experience to shorten the contest to maybe just three days to keep the interest up.  I guess you have to get a contest under your belt to be better at it next time.  :)

If you would like to try out the Ja-Vie flats, you can use my link to save 10% and get free shipping. My discount link is: http://r.sloyalty.com/r/ulK4Lp4Y6Hpn
They definitely are the "teacher shoe" and anyone who's already ordered a pair will tell you how fabulous they are!  You can't go wrong with any of the prints.  Below are pictures of the ones I chose from winning a contest for the start of summer with Ja-Vie.  I'm LOVING all of them and as you can see, little nugget wants a pair in her size as well! ;)




Thanks for hanging with me and definitely let me know if you order a pair of Ja-Vie flats!  I think you will be extremely happy with your purchase!  Until next time! :)

Feeling Like a Giveaway on a Monday !

Happy Monday Night!

Like I mentioned last week, I am hosting my first ever giveaway!  Here's how it will go down.  I have LOVED my Ja-Vie flats so much that I am able to give ONE pair away to a lucky lady to start the new school year in comfort and style!  How exciting is that?!  I'm super pumped because they. are. AWESOME.  I will also be giving away 2 items from my store...winner's choice!  Fun, right?!  What a fabulous way to start the new school year with free material and comfy/stylish shoes!!

To share another tidbit about the fabulousness of Ja-Vie flats, I decided to test them out on a 2 mile stroll with nugget last week.  Guess what?!  Super comfy, no blisters, no backaches the following day, and I was able to stroll in style!  Another fun, "who knew" about why EVERY teacher and mom needs at least one pair.
