For years, I kept hearing how awesome Evernote was: how it could store everything you possibly needed, make it available everywhere, and how scores of people couldn't live without it. I tried it multiple times, and never saw the appeal until now. Via John Evans Delete the scoop?

" When I began teaching Visual Art, animation was a subject that was taught by a technology teacher at our school – it was pretty specialised stuff. The intricacies of using the massive animation suites and high-end programs, combined with the fact that our art rooms didn’t even have computer access for our students, meant that the division between art and digital technology was substantial. What a change…
Now, animation is truly accessible for our art students with iPads. The variety of animation apps and the ease of use makes them suitable for teaching and learning cross a whole variety of year levels. Here’s some ‘stuff for starters’." Via John Evans Delete the scoop?

"Summer is already here ( or about to be here ) and students learning is about to be interrupted or at least this is how some think of it. However, the learning loss over summer can be dealt with using a variety of apps that are, while being funny an entertaining, are also very educational and informative. I have meticulously handpicked some of the best iPad apps that you can recommend to your kids and students. These apps cover a wide range of topics from Math to Drawing and Arts."

"There are SO many incredible apps out there, and I know whatever list I come up with is going to be missing tons of great stuff. But I might as well start somewhere, right? So I thought I’d share 10 iPad and iPhone apps I love for helping elementary students with reading and writing skills. The majority of the recommendations below work with multiple grade levels and are free, but the paid ones are worth the investment, in my opinion." Via John Evans
