We had some great visitors from Stephenville ISD today to see how Barton Creek is using iPads in the classroom. A big shout-out to the following classes/teachers for allowing us to pop and see what you're up to: Ms. Browder, Mrs. Peichoto, Mrs. Rimkus, Ms. McNicholas & Mrs. Vendetti (Mr. Matthews)! ART Apps: |

One of my all time favorite apps is the simple presentation app: Shadow Puppet EDU. For more information on how to use Shadow Puppet Edu, check out the App Integration Sheet and see a ton of lesson ideas below. We also had a couple of BCE students use Shadow Puppet to describe their artwork, see Caty's explanation above!
