From the fabulous Langwitches blog: The app development market is exploding. More and more companies are creating “educational apps”. In some cases, they are simply digital versions of a book or a web based tool. Some seem to have “no educational value” to it at all, but are still sold under the label of “education”. Although, I usually don’t resort to borderline cuss words, I really liked the expression of “crapware”, Sarah Perez over at TechCrunch used when she was reviewing a new app for the Pre-School/Kindergarten crowd. **Langwitch has created the following iPad App Evaluation for the classroom info-flyer to be used by teachers to critically look at each app they are contemplating using with their students.

A new app that allows users to present, capture, share, and collaborate on ideas across any device, such as an iPad, laptop, Android tablet, smartphone, or iPod Touch. DisplayNote allows users to capture a presenter's content, add their own notes, save the session, or e-mail it for later review. The app works alongside any software application, so that connected devices can capture content from PowerPoint presentations, Excel files, and Word documents, as well as images, web content, video, and more. DisplayNote is currently being piloted at universities, schools, and businesses across Europe, with pilots due to begin in the US this August.

From Langwitches' Blog: Our second grade teacher, Ms.S., was ready to “upgrade” a traditionally taught unit on reptiles. We met to discuss how she could incorporate the 5 C’s of 21st century skills as well as support new emerging literacies. The basic idea was to upgrade a typical report, using books from the library to research and fill out a “research” template on a piece of paper. “Upgrading” meant to find ways to go beyond the traditional text based resources and local classroom community and AMPLIFY…with Voice Thread.

From Michelle Simms' Blog. Her and her principal launched their iPads with an iPad Party! On Tuesday we had an iPad party for all of our teachers. Our principal, a very enthusiastic iPad user, talked about why we were using iPads (engaging for our children, clear links to learning, flexible, portable, personalised and fun). Each teacher (and me in the library) was given four iPads, an Apple TV and a $50 iTunes gift card. What a wonderful way to begin!
