iPads, MakerEd and More in Education

Have you ever needed to record a call on your iPhone? While there’s no direct way to do this built in to iOS, there are some easy to use software and hardware options. Follow along for how to record iPhone calls.

While there’s a workaround to use the Phone apps’ three-way call feature on iOS to call yourself after dialing the first party and potentially record calls to your own voicemail, you may want a more reliable way to record calls.

Did you know that you can view multiple web pages and/or applications at once on your digital device? My friend, Jennifer Kimbrell from Tech with Jen, and I were talking the other day about Chrome extensions that make viewing multiple webpages easy for students. I discovered that my "go to" extension, Split Screen, no longer was available and I started to look into other options. Just like everything else involved in the world of ed tech, I am constantly learning something new. Therefore, I wanted to share with you what I discovered last week!

One of the most fundamental skills a maker should be able to master is the ability to solder electronics.  Whether you’re building a robot or working with Arduino, knowing how to solder will come in handy.  The best thing about soldering is that it’s really fun to learn and easy to master.

There are lots of things that you can do with your iPhone, sure, but we're willing to be that there are a few more that you either don't know about or haven't...

If it weren’t for build-it-yourself tech projects, you wouldn’t be reading this article—at least not on a computer. Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Steve Jobs, and Michael Dell were just some of the self-starters from the pre-PC era.

Today, you have more DIY learning options than ever before: from Radioshack to online electronic component shops, from local makerspaces to Kickstarter, from Raspberry Pi to real miniature satellites.

Want to build some cool techy gadgets of your own? These five do-it-yourself learning projects will show you how to start small but dream big.

This instructable shows how to wire up one or more LEDs in a in a basic and clear way. Never done any work before with LEDs and don't know how to use them? Its ok, neither have I.

***If you have wired up LEDs before, this explanation might seem overly simplistic. Consider yourself warned.***
