This month's blog is
8 Books To Inspire Kids To Love Maths And Science
.
Whether it's because of uninspiring teachers or complicated material,
many of us have memories of dreading our math and science homework.
Yet, as these are such important subjects for developing new
technologies and better understanding of our universe, it's becoming
more and more essential to inspire young learners to be interested
in maths and science.
Luckily, children's books authors understand that the way to get kids
to learn is to treat their imaginations, so there are a whole host of
books out there that work maths and science into their plots, or that
feature characters that love the subjects.

education and parenting, in particular with relation to STEM subjects.

Every month we are going to feature a different iPad/iPod/iPhone educational application.
Visit our ever-changing app page. (www.internet4classrooms.com/links_grades_kindergarten_12/apps_web2_tools.htm)
The App of the Month for September is Qlone 3D Scanner By EyeCue Vision Technologies LTD ( iOS / Android ).
More than 1.5M Downloads. No LiDAR required.
Qlone, the all-in-one tool for 3D scanning and AR. We have made it
easy and fast to 3D scan real objects, modify them in-app, export the
result into many 3D file formats, platforms and 3D printers and even
magically bring them to life with animations. A perfect tool for
AR/VR (Augmented Reality) content creation, 3D Printing, STEM
Education, eCommerce showcase and many other uses.
SCANNING
Scanning real objects has never been easier. Print the included AR
mat, place your object in the middle of the mat and let the Augmented
Reality dome guide you through the scanning process. 3D scan the
object from two different angles and it will be auto merged for better
and more complete 3D results.
With Qlone, there is no waiting time, all processing is done live on
your phone in seconds.
Print the mat directly from the app with AirPrint or send it as a mail
and print out.
MODIFYING
With the integrated tools in the app so you can optimize and modify
your 3D model without needing to export them.
Texture - Change the Brightness, Saturation and Sharpness of the 3D
model. Pick colors from the scanned object and apply them by painting
directly on the 3D model. Blur areas or transitions for smoother
results.
Clean - Improve the quality of the model by erasing unwanted areas or
smoothing the surface.
Sculpt - Improve or alter the shape of your object by pressing or
pulling a selected area and adjust the transition.
Shape- Enhance the mesh details or set the scale size of your model

Back to School Nights are approaching. Here are some great tips for speaking to your students' parents and how to prep for your Open House.
This September 11th, we remember those who died during the terrorist attacks twenty years ago. It may be difficult to explain the events to students who were too young to remember or not even born yet but there are many resources available. Wikipedia has excellent background information as well as detail on the aftermath and effects of the tragic events. For lesson plans, try the National September 11 Memorial & Museum, Scholastic, Teaching History, PBS.org,
and Morningside Center for Teaching Social Responsiblity.
Also, I4C has a September 11th page, filled with guides and activities to help your students understand the significance of the day.
We now have answer guides for our Common Core Math Printables. Request teacher access here.
Remember to visit our Teacher Tools section. This homepage contains all the topics you may need to use during the school year.
