Mirror 360: District Roll Out

Next week our district is going to be rolling out Mirror 360. This software can connect your iPad to your Projector using your Computer. This gives the teacher the ability to walk around the classroom and monitor students, while also using their iPad. Teachers are no longer anchored to their desk and don't have to trip over cords and connections. 

I am so excited because this is one of the major launches happening in our Department and District. The other is shared Macbook Carts...but one thing at a time. 

Today in Canva, I started compiling some FREE apps for teachers to use their iPads with their classes. Some of the apps are for presentation software--Google Slides and Nearpod, or a fun one for students would be Sock Puppets or Tellagami. Some of the apps could be used for quick exit tickets--Padlet, Educreations, Popplet Lite. 

The Lead4ward app has some great strategies for teachers and a timer--great for a quick formative assessments! 

Thinglink could be used for any subject, but you can really use it for infographics, maps, posters, etc.
 I am really excited about the launch of Mirror 360 in our district. I think I am most excited because I have a lot of requests coming in where I get to go help teachers use the software in their classrooms!
