**Speed "App"ing**
The goal of the Speed “App”ing activity is to become familiar with many teacher tool apps in a short amount of time.
 * 1) Pick up your app card from the table.
 * 2) Spend 15 minutes downloading the app and learning how to use it.
 * 3) When participants are ready to present, the groups line up their chairs to face each other. Participants sit facing each other - like apps sit across from like apps to start, and spend 5 minutes sharing what they learned about their common app and they decide what is important to share. Participants plan a 2.5-minute presentation of their assigned app.
 * 4) One row will be assigned to move while the other stays stationary. For the first “date” one row of teachers shifts one person to the right. Each pair demos their app, 2.5 minutes each for a total of 5 minutes and then the moving row shifts to the right. This continues until each participant has seen each app demonstrated. Notes can be taken on the "Speed Dating App Card."

 * 3) As you find applications, download them to your iTouch and explore its capabilities. Create a list of the applications you find in the Notes App on your iPod Touch. You will choose the top 5 apps you would like on the cart of iPod Touch's available for checkout. You will take a picture of your notes page and email it to Misty, mbutterfield@graniteschools.org.
