Hey teacher friends! I know I usually share technology tips with you, but this something that I've fallen love with and wanted to share it with you! While teacher manicures might not be traditional teaching tips, I feel anything that makes you feel better about yourself, looks professional, and won't break the budget on a teacher's salary is a great tip. :)
Plus, you have a stressful job! The simple step of taking care of you can not only make you feel better about yourself, but will also translate when working with others and even teaching in the classroom.
In case you haven't heard about Jamberry Nails, they are the newest trend in DIY manicures!
They are special adhesive-backed vinyl that "shrink wraps" to your nails when heat and pressure are applied - and that part is super easy too!
You only need a few items that you probably already have sitting at home!
I wasn't sure about them, when another teacher blogger offered a free sample (get yours
here) I figured I had nothing to loose. After trying them I knew I loved them. I love having my nails done, but hate dealing with chipped nail polish. I actually HATE painting my nails most of the time because I hate the smell, the dry time, and they tend to last for about 2.3 seconds until they chip on my hands.
But Jamberry was different! I had a gorgeous manicure that lasted about 10 days on my hands (although some people are able to get up to 2 weeks of wear). When I tried them on my toes they lasted well over a month.
There is no dry time, no smell (they aren't made of polish like other nail strips), and there are over 300 different designs!
I know that you are wondering about getting a sample for yourself. Click
this link and request one right away!
I know living on a teacher's salary can tough, so if I come across a product or opportunity to help - I honestly want to help. It might not be for you, but you can always try a sample to see if you are addicted as much as me. lol!
Have a wonderful school year and stay stylish!
Zaption Presenter is now out of beta and open to all! If you haven't heard of Zaption before it a website that allows you to insert questions into videos so that students are stopped along the way and asked them to respond to a question. Up until now it was an individual task. Now you can create a tour (what Zaption calls a video that you have inserted questions into) that the whole class watches at the same time. Students get a code and can answer the questions on their own devices during the video. The question shows up both on the video and on their screen. In addition, you can add questions to the tour on the fly if there is something that you want to focus on. Below is a sample tour that will explain to you how Zaption presenter works.
