50 Apps, 50 New Ways To Learn

50 Apps, 50 New Ways To Learn | Everything iPads | Scoop.it

Learning through play. Self-directed learning. Flipped learning. Mobile learning. Collaborative learning. Social learning. It’s all here. Alone, none offer the turn-key approach to education that textbooks have traditionally turned to, but that’s part of the strength. As education technology grows, we can adapt to new learning models that take advantage of the fragmented but enormous potential of self-directed, creative, collaborative, and almost entirely mobile learning.

How Knew? App Smash!

How Knew? App Smash! | Everything iPads | Scoop.it

Inspired by the last #1to1iPadChat , the term App Smash was coined by the great Greg Kulowiec (@gregkulowiec)  from EdTech Teacher fame. It is a hot topic in EdTech and obviously has its own Hashtag – #AppSmash.

What is an App Smash? Content created in one app transferred to and enhanced by a second app and sometimes third. Preferably the final product is then published to the web – remember, digital presence is the new résumé (CV).

6 Good iPad Apps to Enhance Kids Mathematical Thinking

6 Good iPad Apps to Enhance Kids Mathematical Thinking | Everything iPads | Scoop.it

Here is a set of good iPad apps that you can use with students to enhance their mathematical thinking. These apps are meant for young learners and are specifically useful when introducing kids to those rudimentary notions of mathematical computations.


The purpose of teaching kids to think mathematically, as detailed in Kaye Stacey's paper, is three folds:

First, it will allow kids to conduct mathematical investigations by themselves.

Second, it will help them acquire other thinking skills particularly problem-solving and as mathematician Paul Halmos (1980) stated, 'problem solving is the heart of mathematics'.

Third, it helps kids get a deeper appreciation of mathematics and use it in their daily and working lives.
