What do I wish I knew then that I know now?

Mistakes are proof that you are trying - it&apos;s ok to make them. It&apos;s ok to ask for help. Believe in yourself - you CAN do it!

Created using a variety of apps after being inspired by Cathy Hunt&apos;s books &apos;iPad Art&apos; and &apos;More iPad Art&apos;, which can be found on the iBooks Store.

Thank You! It never gets old. I have many funny stories of what children have said over the years and there have been more than one I love you, but truly the best is when I get a Thank You.

Get support staff on side Don&apos;t expect things to happen straight away Prepare yourself for parent meetings no two parents on the same SLT don&apos;t know everything Keep a record of corridor conversations Don&apos;t try to be brilliant at everything straight away Invest in yourself and your own CPD Stay on top of your marking

Just recently I had a former student, who is now married, that I taught in 4th grade message me on Facebook and tell me how I impacted her life all those years ago!

I&apos;m really keen on DoInk green screen at the moment. 

I&apos;ve been using it to make tiny sculptures.

I&apos;ve been secretly placing them all over the campus!

Apple Keynote An app I love for its many options: Images, masked, bordered Text, formatted Templates

This is an adventure! Let&apos;s enjoy it together.

&quot;Thank you for believing in me until I could believe in myself.&quot;

I have a blog where I post a drawing every day and sometimes it&apos;s a drawing made digitally. 

I drew this with a stylus using the BrushesRedux app. I like the way I can change colour, brush size and brush mark. There&apos;s lots in it that I haven&apos;t learned to use yet! 

I wish I knew that - You can only do your best, hard work pays off and perseverance is a trait you need! It pays to listen to those who&apos;ve been there and done it, but adapt to do what you want to do. If you believe it is the right way, don&apos;t let anyone put you off, raise your argument, show them your thinking and prove it, but get support along the way! Kids can do more than we give them credit for, give them the tools, give them trust and watch them fly!

How do I collect and share what the students have created? 

Email, YouTube, Padlet, Dropbox, g+community? Blog?

I&apos;m the eLearning Lead Practitioner for North Tyneside Learning Trust where I support 46 schools with everything to do with eLearning.

I can do it because you believe in me - no one has ever done that before!

Enjoy your students! Teaching is a wonderful connection to the human experience.

Mr. Smith! Mr. Smith! We love writing books. Can we please make more?

My advice for new teachers: Make use of your teaching assistants - we&apos;re here to help and support you all the way!

INKcredible because I can use it. Procreate because young adults create amazing things!!

New favorite app called Amaziograph! Cool design features allowing you to make Spirograph, kaleidoscope or reflective drawings - super fun and addicting to watch.

I wish I knew the power of student creation earlier. When I was a first year teacher I was more worried about how I wanted to teach and not how my students wanted to learn. Students want to make things and be more creative than just absorbing.

Don&apos;t be afraid to fail and don&apos;t be afraid to ask for help!

Honoring me at an awards celebration for being the one teacher who had the most impact.

I couldn&apos;t read when I came here but now I can!

An app we love is YAKiT Kids! Take an image and give it a voice. Students explain their learning in a fun creative way. We used the apps in grade 1 Math to share what we know about 3D shapes, take a look!

I love the Procreate app.  It&apos;s awesome.  This is all I could get done in the time frame.  It exports your art as video.

One of my favourite apps is Seesaw. Seesaw is great for storing work that has been produced on iPads so that it can be shared with parents. I have used it with children as young as Nursery and they love it!

Amazing student created multi touch books.

The best thing a student said to me was, &quot;Do we really have to go? I was having so much fun!&quot; ❤️

Someone once told me, &quot;Don&apos;t smile until Christmas.&quot;  I wish I would have known how much of a lie that was.  Your kids need to see the human side of you as a teacher and person.  

...I knew in the beginning that the priority for tech integration is creation not consumption. Book Creator is the perfect fit! 

Draw and Tell is a creation app for lower elementary students that allows students to do just what the title says, &quot;Draw and Tell&quot;. 

The best thing a child ever said to me...

Could we just keep the door shut? It&apos;s so cold in here!

A boy in Year R, learning English as an Additional Language, never spoken to me before in English! Driven to express himself by the other children leaving the door to outside area open on a cold day.

I am the Director of Educational and Information Technology at North Broward Prep. This is part of our beautiful campus in Coconut Creek FL. We have about 1,600 students PK-12 and about 350 are from around the world.

Explain Everything allows you to do so much. 2nd graders drew the water cycle diagram and added a raindrop that moved through the cycle as they recorded themselves explaining it.

Favorite app (of all time)-- Book Creator! HyperStudio and now... HyperDuino!

Hi. I am Mark and I work with schools to support them with their use of technology among many other things. I was a teacher in the classroom for more than 20 years.

My favorite app other than Book Creator is Plotagon.  I love making videos like the one below.  Your student will have explosions in their brains when they use this app.

I love Paper by 53 too which I just used to make this with on my iPad!

A great way of sharing video clips and fab for giving CPD reinforcement after delivery!

This profession is rewarding in more ways than you can ever imagine. Today I had lunch with a student I taught 7 years ago. He is home from Oklahoma State on break and wanted to share with me his new job at the National Weather Centre and how second year is going. Amazing to see where our students go and how we were a part of it.

I used to think I needed to cover the curriculum; but now I know building relationships and time for conversation are more important.

I used to think I had to know everything as expert, but now I know I need to dive in and learn with students just as often.

What I wish I knew then....? That I would still be good friends with some of the teachers I started with... many years ago. Teachers are a special group! We keep on learning! (And have a special bond!)

Don&apos;t be afraid to keep trying new things. Let your students see you trying new things! You don&apos;t have to know everything! Don&apos;t be afraid to admit it and go learn more!

Best thing a child said... art/technology project... WOW... you HAVE to show me how to do that!

One of my favourite apps for iOS is Adobe Spark Post. It is really good for creating beautiful images with text and can be used by students and teachers alike and it is completely free. You can see some examples of it being used on the right hand side. 

Two hosts! 19 participants! What would happen if teachers from around the globe collaborated on an eBook using Book Creator? What would happen if each teacher was given five tasks to complete in order to make that eBook? What would happen if they were only given one hour to do this? In this book you will see what happens when teachers from around the globe use a one hour Twitter chat to write, compile and publish a book in one hour. We hope you enjoy! Jon Smith @theipodteacher Mark Anderson @ICTEvangelist

Paper 53 allows for creativity, organization of thought, and more! LOVE this app.

&quot;I&apos;ve never had a class like this. I mean, we can chill, but man this work is tough. It&apos;s awesome. We get to to stuff that actually means something!&quot;

Amaziograph app (.99) lets you create amazing mandelas-reminds me of my childhood Spirograph!
