The all new Adobe Photoshop Camera app places the magic of Adobe Photoshop right into your devices’ camera. You can take photos or upload them directly into the app, and then select from different “lenses” and filters for your photos. In this blog post, learn exactly what the Photoshop Camera app is and what can you do with it, how to use it, and how to save and share your photos!
InterACTIVE Summer Learning
For those of you who have been following us for some time now, and if you’re new you’ll now find out, we are not only educators but parents of two young boys. We acknowledge that a few skills may have been lost or at least lessened during remote learning, so this summer we wanted to take an interACTIVE approach to keeping the learning alive.
Preventing Summer Slide with Buncee
Creating a Buncee doesn’t need to take all week, be part of a long research project or contain different sections etc. Rather, think of Buncee as a quick, one-stop tool where students can go in to keep skills fresh, stay engaged over summer while creating and designing. This is why we think it is a great app to use to prevent “summer slide”.

Bitmoji Keychain Keepsakes
With the end of the year quickly approaching, the way we celebrate with our students will definitely look different this year. Sadly, we are not going to be able carry out our end of year celebrations, reflect together and create memory books, or compete as a class during field day or other school wide events. So doing what educators always do when faced with something new, we adapt and change!

Creating Digital Breakouts with Flipgrid
Using Teacher View in Student Paced Mode with Nearpod
Creating Flipgrid Book Talks During Remote Learning
I was determined to find a way for us to share this time together even though we are apart and Flipgrid was the perfect platform to do this in. The multiple features and tools within the Flipgrid platform make read aloud possible and still give us a space for discussions during this time of asynchronous learning.

Lesson Resources for Remote Learning: Spy Transformations
Transforming the classroom has always been one of our favorite ways to engage students. They walk in intrigued, curious as to what the day of learning would hold for them. This heightened interest would help them persevere through difficult tasks they might otherwise give up on. Plan a week of spy themed activities or turn your students into learning detectives. Dress the part, play some music and infuse this theme into any content you are teaching.
How to Embed Nearpod Presentations Into Microsoft Teams
Flipgrid Integration in Nearpod
Flipgrid is at it once again, and during this time of remote learning the ability to integrate a Flipgrid Topic directly into a Nearpod presentation is so useful! Now in addition to creating Nearpod lessons filled with collaborative slides, 3D explorations and embedded activities, students can now share their voice on Flipgrid!
Creating a Virtual Classroom with Microsoft Teams
With so much unknown right now in education, one thing we can do as educators is focus on meeting the needs of our students the best we can while remote learning. We may have lost the sense of security and safety our physical classrooms gave us, but with the help of Microsoft Teams we can expand those four walls and bring our students into a different type of interACTIVE learning environment.
