Mac Mini

This little tool doesn't look very exciting, but I'm so excited about the possibilities it's bringing to our classroom.  It has really stepped up our technology game! :)

The thing I'm most excited about is the ability to project WIRELESSLY! This will pair really well with a whiteboard app that I have. It means that I can walk around the classroom with my iPad as I draw out story problems in math or sight words in reading.  We also have the ability to project up to 4 screens at once.   This means I can have each student on an iPad and project four of their iPads all at once as they show their work in math.  This could also lead to some fun race type games.

Here's an example of something I might show for 4 + 3= 7.

After showing this, I might choose 4 students to project and have draw me a picture to solve another addition problem.
