Already Frustrated

It all started about a month ago, maybe a little before that. I am having a devil of a time getting pics from my phone onto any PC. It is extremely frustrating! I take tons of pictures for work and need to be able to upload them to a particular program that we use for tracking student progress. This year I was also asked to work in conjunction with a high school EAST student (technology geared class) to create a 'yearbook' of sorts for my littles. This too requires using pics, and LOTS of them. I also like to include pictures on my blog posts. All of these things are difficult to do WHEN YOU CAN'T ACCESS THE PICTURES THAT YOU TAKE!!! I got so frustrated after attempting to import them on three different computers, that I called the district technology guy to come help me. Guess what? He couldn't get it to work either. So finally, I think I have it figured out. Maybe. I downloaded the Microsoft OneDrive app to my phone and apparently that will automatically send the pics to my linked computer. So far, it is working, but it sure takes a hella long time when you can only upload ten per batch...

My 'tired of screwing with it' face

Until next time!

iHeart my iPad

A month or so ago, a co-worker and I were told that we would both be provided with iPads for classroom use and for home use. Mine was delivered on Friday afternoon right before I left for spring break. The instructions were...USE IT. Use it at school, use it at home, use it however you can as long as the activities fall within the school's internet usage policy. How is Jeri Lynne feeling about this, you ask? Can you say excited?!?! I had never even laid hands on an iPad before, much less used one. Needless to say, I have spent a bit of time over the past week at home figuring out some apps that I think the kinders will enjoy, and also experimenting with some apps for me as well. How fun is this? 'Cuz I so needed a new gadget to play with *insert heavy sarcasm here*!

This little guy helped us try out some preK - K apps. He was pretty excited to try it out!
