iPad and iPod Touch

Page history last edited by Lucas Gillispie 10 years, 9 months ago


     The iPad is, quite possibly, the most versatile and cost-effective handheld device on the market today.  As we begin to see these in our schools, this page will serve as a spot for those who are using them to share:  best practices, resource links, application reviews, and more.

Apps For Personal/Professional Use:

 

Aside from Twitter and Facebook apps which have tremendous value for connecting teachers and ideas, there are other apps that I commonly recommend to educators that will help you stay "in the know" when it comes to education and puts the Internet to work for you, bringing the good stuff to you, rather than you having to work to find the information.  Here are some that you should definitely explore:

 

Zite - Zite creates a custom magazine with topics of interest to you.  Look through the suggested topics or do a search to create your own sections.  A few sections that I enjoy are on Education/Teaching, Education Technology, and iPads.  Explore the articles it gives you.  "Thumbs-up" the ones you like, and over time, your magazine will get better, custom-tailored to your particular interests.  And, don't forget the sharing function!  Strengthen those PLCs by sharing good articles and resources with your colleagues or your Twitter network!

 

 

 

Flipboard - Similar to Zite, this app can bring your favorite sites to one place, giving you a one-stop location for news and information.

 

TED - This is the official app of the TED conferences.  These are talks by incredible people about all sorts of topics.  There are some out there that every educator should watch!
