"Educreations is a recordable interactive whiteboard that captures your voice, handwriting, typed text, and images. The final product is a cool video lesson that teachers can share with students. This is both a web-based app and iPad app. The cost: Free! With Educreations, students can replay a teacher's lesson online on or their iPads as often as the need to master the content. It also takes the camera off the instructor and turns the focus toward the content, and the content is key, right? It's like a video of your chalkboard or smartboa"

"The students had to select an environment and then decide on an adaptation that would help them survive in the conditions of the environment, help the animal eat, or prevent the animal from being eaten.

"Narrated Slideshows include still images with accompanying audio narration, and may also include annotations which make the videos into screencasts.

Participants will also learn to use the free YouTube Capture app for iPad to upload videos to a professional YouTube channel."

What, then, are some of the best iPads that can be used in the classroom, whether you have multiple tablets, or just one as a teaching tool for different groups?"

"While walking through a school in our region, I walked right past a couple of students working on a project.

In Kindergarten, the students are typically using the iPads with content based apps to practice letter recognition, writing, and basic math, but I wanted the students to use the iPad as a creation tool just like the older students do in my schools."
