In Action

I am starting to use Bio on the Go this school year as a continual review and differentiating tool.  Because we have already covered cell chemistry and cell structure, students can be challenged at the beginning or end of class with Bio on the Go!

Promo Codes

Each time you release a new version of an app. Apple allows you 50 promo codes. I am in the process of getting these promo codes to science teachers around the state. Hopefully by giving it to teachers for free, they will see how useful it can be for their students.

However, it is much easier for teachers to ask for promo codes than to redeem them and actually try out the app. I have given away about 45 promo codes and only about 14 of them have been redeemed. I am looking at ways to increase this percentage.

I do enjoy having teachers email me from around the state and giving me information about what types of technology are being used in their schools. There is so little school to school contact, it seems as though technology has not helped our schools share good ideas, yet.
