Two Quick Wins: ClassLink and Books

I have 2 quick wins for you today.....

Signing in to ClassLink just got easier.  

The back camera on the iPad now works when signing in with the Quickcard (QR Code).

Before today, only the front camera worked for the quick sign-in.


Just tap on this icon to switch from the front (selfie) camera to the back camera.

Having students create their own books just got easier.  


Student-created work that is shared with an authentic audience is an important part of learning.

The free version of the Book Creator app worked all right, but is limited to only one book and had a very limited audience.  Check out what you can do with Pages...
The Pages app will do the same thing, but with many more features.  You can quickly have students create their own books for an authentic audience.  We can even publish them on the iTunes Store.  Ask me how and I can get you started.

There are Book templates now available which are meant for creating interactive books.  Students can quickly make it interactive, too, with their own pictures, audio or video.

Invite me and I will come in and support you or your team to get rolling.









Bonus quick win....   Apple recently rolled out their #EveryoneCanCreate series of project books.  These are free on the iTunes store and are geared specifically towards iPads. It is a wonderful book study of how to leverage creativity in your classroom in lesson design.
