Manhattan Beach USD District Office
Creative Book Builder
Create, edit and publish eBooks in minutes. Everyone can write a book...a multimedia-packed book that dares the reader to skip a page! Yes, your claim to fame can also be author. Ready to write, draw and act in an interactive eBook?
TouchCast
The iTunes store describes it beautifully, "A TouchCast is a video that is fully browsable, responsive, and alive. Webpages, images, and an assembly of video Apps (vApps) can be tapped for a two-way video experience." Green screen is cool too. Intrigued yet?
ThingLink
Redefining learning! Create images that were never before possible using video, notes and music. Device agnostic, sweet, right? You won't be disappointed even if you're not creative. Loads of edu examples will be shared. Want to create something memorable?
Professional Development Opportunity
Teachers have the opportunity to earn the professional development rate of $38.00 per hour for attending Appy Hour events or earn hours toward units to move over on the salary schedule. A sign in sheet will be available at the event for teachers to indicate which option is preferred.
