I have compiled a fairly comprehensive list of Apps designed for Apple products (iPhone, iPod, and iPad). These Apps are helpful for both the learner and the educator. Many are free, some are under $5.00, and a few are major purchases (+$15.00). These lists will all update regularly with your input. Below are links to other experts in the mobile device technology area.

"In this programme we look at a reality many teachers face: very large classes – and using group work as a technique to get everyone working actively. We hear from teachers on how they use group work and look at techniques for managing large classes. How do you feel about teaching large classes?"
Programme Summary: Large classes are a reality for many teachers around the world – especially in the state sector. If we want to develop our students’ fluency and ability to communicate in English then using group work will help. If set up carefully, it will give all the students a chance to participate and practise. The teacher’s role changes during group work.

One way of encouraging effective interaction for learning is by using information gap activities.
Shona Whyte's insight:
Example of a high school EFL CLIL class in Germany, where pupils are grouped in one of five sub-topics, then re-grouped to share their expertise using a diagram to map information and a record answers to "why" and "how" questions. Neat example of creating a need to exchange information and a structure in which to record it. Delete the scoop?
