Wow! 100 followers is such an exciting event! When I started my blog I knew I would have one loyal friend and fan but I never imagined 100 lovely followers would come so soon! I wasn't really sure about this whole blogging business to be quite honest and I thought it would just be one more thing on my to-do list that never seems to end but I have really loved the journey! I've met some amazing teachers who I feel are the best of the best! I've built a solid PLN and I love stealing ideas learning from all of my blog stalking hopping. I've loved all of the comments and feedback I've gotten and feel like I've been able to really contribute to the blogging community which is such a humbling feeling :)! I would like to thank these seven wonderful bloggers ladies who teamed up and generously offered to donate something for my 100 follower giveaway!

You're in the right place to learn some more about them. I have quite a few posts because I'm a little obsessed with them! Let me know if you have any questions or need help!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

Hey Katie! Good luck! I have to check out Confer. I don't think I've heard of it.
DeleteI have used QR codes a few times in my classroom! At open house, I passed out a paper with all of my information. I had 2 QR codes - one that linked straight to our classroom website and the other contained all of my contact information to add easily into their phones :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

Hey Khrys. Love the unique spelling of your name! Those are great ways to use QR Codes! Good luck!
DeleteI love iFont maker and iDraw. I have used QR codes in my classroom on worksheets, including one on a sign and newsletters linked to a class webpage, and scavenger hunts. Congrats on your milestone.
ReplyDeleteLearning in Bliss
iFont maker is by far the most popular app among the blogging world! Love that you're using QR Codes! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI have an ipad at home, but I like smart apps for kids on facebook and find lots of good free apps on there. I like Math Doodles, and I like the MacMillan Math apps too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize there were any good apps for kids on Facebook! Who knew?! I just love playing Candy Crush haha! Thanks for the math app recommendations! I will definitely check them out!
DeleteI am just starting to use confer and am in love with the increased efficiency of note taking!!!

Oops! Thanks for the info! Unfortunately, I was on vacation and checking blogger from my phone and iPad so I didn't get a chance to change it! Hopefully you will all forgive me!
DeleteI like several ABC writing apps and memory game apps for my kiddos.
ReplyDeleteI also created a QR code with my info for my parents to scan!
Thanks for the chance to win!
Thanks for sharing :)! Did you find lots of parents knew about QR Codes or was it a learning curve for them?!
DeleteOur kids love the Word Wizard app as they work on beginning, middle and ending sounds in K. Thanks for the amazing giveaway.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome and congrats on being a winner ;)! Word Wizard is a great app!
DeleteMy latest favorite is Pic Collage. I love the ease of use and how quickly kids can put together one to share.
ReplyDeleteI use Pic Collage ALL THE TIME! It is such an easy and simple way to put pictures together for sharing! I love that it easily saves and sends as a PDF as well. Great app!
DeleteHey there! No ipads in my classroom, but I have a favorite iphone app that I'm sure can be used on the ipad as well. TurboScan lets you take a picture of any document and then turn it into a pdf file. I've been using this in the classroom to take pictures of anchor charts, printing them, and having students add them to their reading notebooks.
ReplyDeleteIts great to see another Virginia blogger out there. I'm your newest follower and look forward to learning from you!
I love TurboScan! It is such a great productivity app! Happy to have you as a new follower and can't wait to check out your blog! What part of VA are you in? Are you on Spring Break and hating this snow like us?!
DeleteThanks to everyone who entered and all of the new and old followers! Congrats to the winners :)!
