In order to help educators integrate iPads effectively, we have compiled a list of apps focused on learning goals consistent with the CRCD framework. While many of these apps have also appeared in our iPads in the Classroom section, this list is driven by specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments.

Now that the iPad Cart in my building is up and running ( a process that was frustrating, confusing, annoying and ultimately rewarding ), it is time to start using the iPads in classrooms. Along with a colleague of mine, @katrinakennett, we are going to embark on a completely paperless research process with a 10th grade English class. The process will take place over a three week period and along with this initial blog post, I will be chronicling, blogging and reflecting on the process along the way. Before we start the process, we had a conversation about the goals of this research process and why iPads would be a good fit. I think it is critical to have this conversation when not only integrating iPads, but using any type of technology in the classroom.

Offline learning is the latest tool for the unorthodox education organization. Here's how that and other new features will power Khan Academy's new app. Khan Academy, the wildly popular YouTube lecture series, has launched its free, new iPad app in Apple's store. The enhanced version of Khan Academy includes time-syncing between devices--no Internet connection required--an interactive transcript of the lectures for easy searching, and a handy scrubber for moving between parts of the lectures. Perhaps more importantly, now that more schools have begun adopting Khan's lectures for their own classrooms, the iPad app could possibly replace or supplement textbooks, saving cash-strapped schools and students a lot of money.
Second, with inspiration from TED, Khan lectures will now have an interactive time-stamped transcript, which is a convenient search function, considering some of the lectures can be quite long.
