Seeking experience: Apple Pencil and GoodNotes.
I am considering getting GoodNotes on my iPad to teach with this fall. I haven’t yet found a digital writing option that I can record or use love with students. I’ve seen some good tutorials on it and I think it would fit my needs in a robust is way. The tutorials I’ve seen use Apple Pencil with it. Is Apple Pencil substantially better then a mass market stylus? Have folks used either or both of these products before?

I’ve never used GoodNotes but, I have never used a stylus as good as my Apple Pencil.

Here’s the catch, you have to have an iPad Pro to use the pencil. I hope you don’t have to replace your iPad to use the pencil.

They always get you.

I don’t think so, but I’m no expert. I have an iPad Pro that’s a few years old that I use the G1 pencil. I would verify with your favorite Apple store before making any purchase.

Apple Pencil is incredibly good in Goodnotes! I tried 2 different $40 stylus before and they didn’t work well at all. It is well worth the extra $$$.

Notability is a great Note taking app with the Apple Pencil.

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

Thoughts on Engage NY/Eureka math...

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

Does anyone know a great 7th grade math workbook? Our school system does not buy the students books. I’ve taught 6th grade math for 20 years and have made all my notes, worksheets and and examples, but I’ve been assigned a seventh grade math class and don’t have enough time to get all of that ready. I feel like I’ve spent so much money on Amazon and TPT but it never ends up being what I want. It’s usually too easy. I would be grateful for any ideas, suggestions or actual workbooks names.
