I am a senior in college about to be a “real” teacher! I would use MagCloud to provide incoming students with an idea about who I am, what to expect for the year, and a place for them to make notes. Also, it could have some resources that they may need to know about, as well as fun, safe places they can go. I also plan on running a project all school year that invites all students to interview a senior in their neighborhood/ life and write a story, maybe even provide some pictures. Then compile all essays into a memorabilia magazine that they can keep forever. Not to mention that the stories might excite others to subscribe to the magazine and it possible make enough to keep the copies to students free. If not, I would pay for them. Encourage the writing, share the stories, excite the students. That’s what MagCloud will do for me.
The possibilities are endless !!
Off the top of my head….Customized Planner, professional grade reports & projects
upload and print in final form CLASS NOTES….wow great solution from random papers in a binder !
And I’m just getting Started !
I am trying to win this for my daughter. She would use this MagCloud to tote her books, notebooks and binders to school. Shuttermom77 at gmail dot com
I teach InDesign to college students. I would use MagCloud to create a magazine to showcase their work done in the class (designing business cards, brochures and the midterm: four-page magazine articles on their fellow classmates)
