With Poll Everywhere you can project instant student feedback onto the screen and watch the real time data change on the bar graph as
===students send in responses via text message or from a computer, cell phone, or mobile device. Create a free account with Poll Everywhere === ===and then get started making your first poll question for up to 30 participants with the free version.===

If your students are using iPods or iPads with Poll Everywhere,
===they can save the website as an icon (looks like an app icon) on the device. Here's how you do that:=== ==
 * Open the browser on the iPod Touch or iPad
 * Navigate to the exact page of the website you want to make an icon for
 * Click on the icon on the top left side of the screen that looks like a rectangle with a right curved arrow
 * Choose "Add to Home Screen"
 * Name the website what you want and then touch "add"
 * It will then set the website as an icon on your iPod Touch/iPad

Music Apps

Sketch Mee Lite (Fun photo editing for creating interesting works of art for student projects)

 * ==Take a photo of either yourself or an object==
 * ==Use the Sketch Mee Lite App to change the photo into a drawing and then save to photos and email it to yourself==
 * ==Open in your email==
 * == Note* One quirky thing with this app is that when you tap on a choice in a menu, you must continue to hold with your finger to keep it open and slide your finger to choose an option==



Social Studies Apps
= Pick Me Buzzer (Buzz in Trivia Activity with any Question Set) (Michelle) =


 * ==Form groups of 4 people==
 * ==One person has one of our Dept. iPod Touches with the Pick Me Buzzer App Open on it (in the Teacher Tools Folder)==
 * ==The other group members will open the US Constituion App==
 * ==The Host will start the game==
 * ==Each group will "Enter Game" and click on the Host's iPod when they see it==
 * ==The Host will ask a question pertaining to the US Constitution (1 ea. from the first 5 Articles and one additional question about the signers)==
 * ==Each Group will search using the US Constitution App to find the answers to the questions==
 * ==Buzz in when your group feels they have the answer. Give your answer. If it is correct, move to the next question. If incorrect, others may buzz in.==



Science Content Activity: Create a double line graph that documents high temperatures of two cities (SLC and St. George Utah) for the week of April 9th-13th 2012.

 * ===Work in pairs===
 * ===One participant opens Weather Bug App to find data for each of the two cities. Add both cities to the app. (you can compare any two cities you want to)===
 * ===One participant opens the Create-A-Graph website that was set as an icon===
 * ===Work together to create a double line graph documenting the high temps for SLC and St. George or whatever two cities you have chosen for the next 7 days.===
 * ===How could students find information that would help them in answering the essential question below?===
 * ===Email the Graphs to one of the instructors===
 * ===Also take a snapshot of the graph that could later be used in a project===
 * ===Share Graphs===
