This is not an app, but I came across this website today and thought I would share. Some of you may have already seen this tool on the web, but I had not, and despite the fact that I typically will not purchase access to websites, I think this is valuable enough that I might [...]

I just love it when something unexpected (that I like!!) occurs. I have been using Noteability to write on pdfs and for journal writing. I was pleasantly surprised this evening when I opened the app to find that they had changed some of the features for the better. I had written last time that I [...]

I have been doing a lot of handwriting on my ipad and it occured to me that the writing tip of my stylus is similar to writing with the end of an eraser…the large surface is too big to have the same sensitivity as the tip of a pen and I find myself rewriting some [...]

I have always been fascinated by National Geographic Magazine. As a matter of fact, it is one of the reasons I became a photographer.

I know there was another post about a whiteboard but you may want to take a look at MediaSlate Pro. The price is only $1.99 and it looks pretty easy to use. Another app for the classroom is Gradebook Pro but it is $9.99. It’s handy and provides great reports. Both are worth a look!

I have been using my ipad to both take roll (I pass it around and the students check themselves in) and as a mouse to run the classroom computer. It works well for both purposes, but most days I need two, because I can’t use the Ipad as a mouse until the students finish checking [...]

The good thing about turning 45 was my present, Apple TV. The mirroring function is great with IOS 5, and I wish my classroom had it. I haven’t used my iPad in my class too much because changing inputs, sound, etc. is not seamless when moving between the PC in there and the iPad. If [...]

I just upgraded both my iphone and iPad 2 to iOS 5. I love the changes! A few tips: Leave yourself plenty of time for the download and update. Also, make sure your device is completely charged. It takes awhile to complete the update. So far I like the changes. iCloud seems to work great. [...]
