What is Sketchnoting?
According to Sketchnote Army, “Sketchnotes are purposeful doodling while listening to something interesting. Sketchnotes don’t require high drawing skills, but do require a skill to visually synthesize and summarize via shapes, connectors, and text. Sketchnotes are as much a method of note taking as they are a form of creative expression.

IPEVO Document Camera – Software
I have used many different types and brands of document cameras in the classroom. Some larger, some more compact, some with higher pixel compression, and others with lower pixel compression. One brand that I have enjoyed has been IPEVO. As I was updating one of their programs I noticed that IPEVO has released a number of other programs/apps. I invite you to take a look and see what you think.

Quick add event from email (Google)
Did you know that you can add information to your calendar directly from your email?

When this happens, you will notice a dotted line under the date(s) and/or the time(s):
When you hover over the date/time you will notice the following pop-up:
Finally, when you click on the date/time, a quick add will appear and allow you to add an event to your calendar:

Get from behind the desk
Next time you are presenting to a class or group try to move from behind the desk in order to make your presentation more dynamic. My technology solution to this is easy and cheap. For the past couple of years I’ve utilised a Bluetooth keyboard & mouse.
This
is the USB Wireless Keyboard / Mouse that I have that I use in my room. It is nice because I put it on a cart and move it around the room. I actually have 2 of them. One at my desk and the other on the rolling cart 🙂 Best part is that it is only $14.99 !!!!!!
