iPad Resources for Educators

For those who want eductional products, but don't know how to "decide what's best," bookmark this one!

6 apps et 2 outils via PC connecté à Internet.  3 apps/6 pour android et IOS

Of the 8 educational apps offered one costs only $1.99 and all others are free. How cool is that?

Great ePortfolio tools.

Always looking for good data analysis of iPad's impact on student achievement!

Useful

Undoubtedly useful. Thanks!

Most people on scoop-it! won't need this, but it is great for students or technologically challenged. 

This is very useful to be able to preview a number of apps at one time.

I think Tagxedo and Wordle are two of the best innovations in the cloud. 

Explain Everything is a very powerful tool, initially teachers find it useful to use to produce resources for their students.  Using it with the students as a creation tool, from outlining how they completed a project to peer feedback and feedforward, is the next step.

Great apps for student's with disabilities.  

Consider usefulness of an app according to learner preferences and strengths, educational goal and characteristics of the app itself. 

"Samantha Thomas, a student, future librarian, and educator at Kutztown University, created this handycollection of assistive technologies that you may find helpful. Some are commonly used with special needs individuals, such as augmentative & alternative communication apps like My Pictures Talk,Look2Learn, and iTalk. Others are general consumer apps, such as Evernote, Google Earth, andAudacity."

Goodproduct, but if we are going to ask faculty to turn their study guides into ebooks they will need time and often they will need support to get the full benefit of the multimedia available.

Great possibilities for creativity in the Learning Commons.

A great way for young authors to share their work

I see the tell tale signs of my beloved Comic Life!

Thanks Greg!

A collection of great Maths Apps to engage younger learners with some basic maths skills.

Sites like this take the hard work out of looking for appropriate apps to use - very helpful.  Thank you.

 In schools across Australia there is strong support for linking learning in Technologies with learning literacy skills. Learning in Technologies places a high priority on accurate and unambiguous communication (ACARA, 2013).Implementing digital technologies in learning areas such as English allows special education teachers to facilitate and accommodate the learning needs of students. This is achieved through integrating assistive devices such as the iPad and its applications to develop critical literacy skills needed in the 21st century.  Consequently special education teacher have a better opportunity to develop important General capabilities such as literacy (LIT) to allows student to become literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to interpret and use language confidently for learning and communicating in and out of school and for participating effectively in society (ACARA, 2013).

This website suggests various applications that can be used on the ipad to assist special needs students. The list of  applications were selected to improve and develop students reading, writing and spelling. They engage the students through making the activities, fun and engaging, which I think is important when teaching special needs students.
