Baiboard Collaborative Whiteboard

Have you ever wanted your Smartboard features to work with the pens only to be sadly disappointed that you couldn't get them to work? Baiboard is a Collaborative Whiteboard that works on your iPad. How does it work?
1. Download the app for free from the App Store. You will also want your students to download the app on their iPads.
2. When you open the app, choose to create a New Board. You can build a lesson before class on the board or you can collaborate with your students during class.
3. To collaborate with your students, tap on the 3 dots in the bottom left corner and then click on "Tap to Start Meet." This will generate a meeting code you can share with your students. On the students iPad, they will tap on the "Join Meet" tab and then add the meeting code you give them.
4. In real time you and your students can collaborate on the board. If you tap on the paper clip, you have the option of adding a photo, PDF, and icons.
5. Hold your finger on the Square at the top and you will receive more color and shape options.
6. Hold your finger on the Pen and you will receive more color options.
7. Tap on the arrow in the bottom right-hand corner and add a new page.
8. Want the students to stop collaborating with your board? Tap on the 3 dots in the bottom left-hand corner, tap Presentation - Synchronize - then okay. Students will now only be able to see what you are doing on the board.
9. You can also add the board to Google Classroom, Schoology, Notability, etc.

Preventing Cheating on Schoology: By Amanda Cross

Hello Friends! So I am going to spend the next few Tuesday's showing you ways to control cheating on Schoology. It is not a fix all and won't prevent it but it sure does slow it down and make it more difficult to cheat. The first thing I always do when administering a test or quiz on Schoology is check my settings! The picture below shows several settings that I use to help with cheating. Randomize Order: I always randomize the questions as much as possible. So that no one person is on the same question at the same time. I also tell students this so that maybe they will think " I can't look at my neighbor because they will have a different question." Resumable: I always set resumable to NO on a test or quiz because if they go out of schoology it will not let them back into that test and they will have to come see me to be let back in. Then I can ask them why they got out of the test/quiz. Now with this setting you will have...

Yellkey By: Anna Bishop

http://www.yellkey.com/ · YellKey.com comes in handy when you want others in a class, meeting, or presentation to open a URL. YellKey is a temporary URL shortener—the longest a shortened URL can last is 24 hours. The advantage of being temporary is that the final part of the shortened URL (a.k.a. the “key”) can be reused, making it unnecessary to use complicated keys. YellKey provides short URLs with common English words that are easy to pronounce and to type. They always start with yellkey.com and end with a random key. An example of a shortened link is yellkey.com/hour . Other “keys” I’ve seen in YellKey’s URLs include happen, small, across, it, know, make, and memory. · You don’t get to choose your key, but if you are unhappy with the key you are given, you can simply enter the full URL again to get a different key.

Locking iPads in Apple Classroom By: Amanda Cross

Locking students into a specific app on their iPad: Good afternoon! Here is another great way to monitor what students are doing on their iPads in your classroom. When giving a test, quiz, or assignment, I lock them into that app if at all possible by using Apple Classroom. By doing this they can't leave that app and go to another app on their iPad. Below you will find a quick 2 minute video that will show you how to do this. Just remember you have to have that app on your iPad and the student must have that exact app as well. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! https://youtu.be/RBgJqxsBoFM
