Apps+&+Ideas


 * Applications and Ideas from Training

**
 * 1) Google Earth Sky: Free Download: [|Download from here].
 * 2) InspireData: Manual is in the Help section. All districts received 25 licenses for this application this year, from the 4 Rivers Consortium.
 * 3) Telescope: See links elsewhere on this site.
 * 4) Use your Smartboard Tools--don't have to have a Smartboard connected (free download from [|http://www.smarttech.com] )--specifically the Smart Recorder--to video your practice using the telescope--so you have a "movie" to use as backup, should the telescope be closed when you want to use it with your students.
 * 5) Check for Telescope/Astronomy resources on Thinkfinity, Share the Skies site, and Jane's portaportal.
 * 6) You can create a wikispace for your use--with other teachers, or students--and it's easy--you all created accounts and pages on this one! This is my "plug" for general tech integration. This one's on astronomy--but you could have one of your own for just about any educational reason! Try it--you just might like it!
