The Exploratorium has just "released Sound Uncovered, its second free iPad app, which the creators showed me during a visit to the unfinished museum. As I explored the app's exhibits, the tablet disappeared in my hands. When you launch this app, you're in the museum, no matter where you are...It takes 40 years of user experience wizardry to build a museum app this amazing."

Are you looking for ways to learn online this year? Check out this post which provides 13 possibilities for you to explore. A few of them are: * Get inspired by great speeches - listen to speeches from turning points in history, movies and more! * Directory of open access journals - do you need to research a topic? Check out journals that provide free access. * Publish your own graphic novel - Use Comic Master to write a graphic novel (or perhaps, have students in your class use it). * Explore maps - new and old. With GPS we may neglect maps, yet maps are an amazing tool. Learn about geograpgy, culture, history and more as you explore old maps (and new) at a variety of websites. Nine additional links await you when you click through to this post!

The Exploratorium now has two free apps for the iPad. The first one released is Color Uncovered and now Sound Uncovered. According to this post "both "buffet-style" collections of short, multi-sensory exhibits. You can select from a table of contents or swipe through like a magazine. The first was Color Uncovered, which uses properties of the tablet's display to demonstrate properties of light. The new app, Sound Uncovered, uses both the speakers and microphones, as well as text and video explanations, to show off some of the surprisingly bizarre properties of sound."
I have found many wonderful resources on the Exploratorium website, and suspect that both these apps would be great to have on iPads used in schools.
