Tried It Tuesday {Tiny Scan App}

As teachers we are always needing or wanting something scanned to share with our students, parents, or coworkers.  A teammate of mine told me about this app and how it helped her get her college projects completed.  (Oh, how times have changed!)

Turn your phone or tablet into a mobile scanner.

I do not have an iPhone or one that will download anymore apps, I seriously need a new phone but too cheap to buy one right now. However, I do have an iPad and downloaded TinyScan to it. :)  Tiny Scan works on both your smart phones and tablets.  If you have a document you need scanned, or even a picture, simply select the app, take a picture, and save it as a PDF.

I used Tiny Scan to create my Smartboards for the week.  I like to include an image of the sheets my students are working on in my Smartboards to help with giving directions and checking over their work.  I had a passage I wanted to include this week in an old (very old) book.  I used Tiny Scan to help copy it into a PDF and then added it to my slide.

I also used Tiny Scan last week to document a letter I sent home to a student listing all of her missing assignments.  I like the scan app better than using a picture because with the app I found the images to be clearer and easier to send to parents.
