Photobooth

I would use the Photoboother App for doing a time lapse of my students portraits to see how they've grown throughout the school year. I would also use this for learning names/seating assignments. There are a lot of different ways to use the app.

Technology

Hello! I will use this blog to post what tools I will be using in my future classroom and resources to help me become more tech-savvy as a teacher. Enjoy!
