Apps for Teachers

I love apps that make my life easier.  Recently I found a few apps that make using my laptop with PPT presentations even easier.  I used to stand at my projector cart to scroll though my presentations.  I finally gave in and bought a remote that would synch with my macbook so I could stand up front and talk to my kids while showing them my presentation slides.  Well, good thing I didn't open that box.  No need for a $20 remote.  I have my iPhone and I now have an app that syncs with my macbook.  I tested it out at Back to School night and it worked perfectly.
Here are a few images of my PPT slides.

The app is called My Point Power Point Remote and it is FREE

There are a few others.  It is Free if you only have 15 slides or less.  For the extended version it is $9.99

This last App I haven't used, but I have seen my colleague use it. Rowmote is .99 and the Pro version is $4.99

Need to dictate something or too tired to type, why not try Dragon Dictation

Remind101

Use it to connect with your parents.  Send reminders for special school events, reminders about book orders and so much more.

Last- it isn't an app, but it is my latest creation.  

Hppy Teaching.  Hope you enjoy the extra long weekend.
