This month, Tech Savvy Mama and Corning® Gorilla® Glass are sponsoring a fantastic contest that supports girls’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Encouraging Girls: The Corning® Gorilla® Glass Women Who Innovate Tough Contest
Today, more girls and women are using technology than ever before. But relatively few are playing a role in creating this technology. Designed to ignite girls’ interest in STEM, The Corning Gorilla Glass Women Who Innovate Tough Contest celebrates the tough challenges that girls can face and inspires more girls to create and build the technology of the future.
One very lucky parent-daughter pair will have the opportunity to travel with Leticia Barr (founder of Tech Savvy Mama) and her daughter, Emily this summer to meet Corning Women scientists, engineers and other innovators in Corning, New York AND will receive a Microsoft Surface Pro 4 to continue “learning through Gorilla Glass.” This trip is a very special look at the innovation that occurs in the Corning facilities.
Using Technology to Learn

Outside of the great apps like Lightbot Jr., Scratch and Brainpop, there are loads of mobile features that can be used to ignite a passion for STEM and make all learning more fun. Devices featuring tools like a camera, writing stylus and audio recording capabilities help to encourage an auditory, visual, and experiential approach to learning. The more learning modes that are exercised, the more likely the material will stay with you long-term. For example, when my family visited the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History, we were able to download interactive touch screen tours and maps on our devices. This greatly enriched our family’s experience and put our kids in the driver’s seat on what and how they wanted to learn.
My daughter has been using her tablet in school for her science unit on birds. Researching and taking photos on hikes make the learning process interactive and fun. Photographing the birds is their first step in documenting their research, and another great example of how using a mobile device both inside and outside the classroom can augment the learning experience.

To enter, parents can tweet their answer to this question, tagging @CorningGorilla, and use the hashtag #LearningThroughGorillaGlass
Full contest rules can be found here.
The Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is a fabulous educational tool for today’s generation of learners. It offers the versatility of a tablet and all the power of a laptop in a package that is beautiful, thin, and light. It uses Corning® Gorilla® Glass 4 cover glass, which can survive up to 80% of the time when dropped from 3 feet high. In laboratory tests, Gorilla Glass 4 proves 2x tougher than competitive glass designs, so it’s a desirable feature of laptops, tablets, and mobile phones that puts parents’ minds at ease when it comes to damage from drops that can occur while girls are learning.

A great tip if you’re new to owning an Casino is not to store too much personal information on your phone. If by accident, your phone is lost or even stolen, someone can easily go through it, and access all of your sensitive information. It’s a good idea to keep this in mind.
If you are not using your Casino, set it to go to sleep. The sleep function helps to conserve battery life and it can keep you from having to charge your phone as often. You can still receive phone calls and even text messages, so you will never miss something important by allowing your phone to sleep.
A Few Things Every Casino Owner Should Know
Have you lost a great picture because your camera app did not come up quickly? Use this easy shortcut. Double tap Home twice when the screen is in a locked state. You should have a little icon for a camera on the screen, along the bottom. You tap the icon to quickly enable your camera functions.
If you type extensively on your Casino, consider investing in an external keyboard. There are many wireless models available. They make typing documents, emails and other similar things easier. Some keyboards can even serve a dual purpose, as you can use them with your iPad as well as your Casino.
To get personal with your Casino and Siri, try teaching Siri your family’s names. For instance, you can teach Siri your spouse’s name. Then instead of speaking out your spouse’s full name when you want to call him or her, you can say instead “Call my husband” or “Call my wife.” It’s much more personable!
Keep your individual post focused on one point. Blog with the full knowledge that you will be making many subsequent posts and if you tell everything in the beginning you may not have anything left to say later! Think of your blogs as being the spokes in a wheel. By themselves they are important but as a wheel they are incredibly important.
To get the most out of your Casino, use it as a storage device. You can use your Casino to store all sorts of files with the help of readily available software. Aside from the obvious music files, you can store pictures, documents and more. The best advantage to this is the fact that you always have access to those files wherever you go.
If you don’t have an unlimited messaging plan, ensure that the character count setting is enabled on your Casino. Messages over 160 characters will be split, using two messages instead of one. To turn on this feature, go to “Settings,'” then “Messages,” and turn Character Count on. The counter will appear just above the “Send” button.
If you’re an advanced message-sender who needs extended text options like letters with accent marks, the Casino has you covered. Simply tap and hold a letter on the on-screen keyboard and a set of accented alternatives will pop up. Just remember to slide your finger directly to the accented letter you want. Lifting your fingertip will make the menu disappear.
If you are using multiple email addresses through your Casino be sure that you give them very different names. It has been found that the phone can glitch and apply the same settings to both accounts, even if you want them to be different. Just be sure they are distinct to avoid this problem.
If you need to write an email or document in all caps on the Casino, simply tap the shift key twice to lock it. This is similar to how you would set the caps lock on any standard keyboard. You can then write your document in all caps easily without having to continuously tap the shift key over and over again.
Do you hate all of the notifications that come into your Casino? To stop them, do the following. Open Settings and select the ‘Notifications’ bar. Look at your apps under “In Notification Center” to remove any you don’t want. By doing this, you’ll greatly improve the condition of your battery.
