Wow, iPads in the classroom- powerful information

Grab your iPad and check out some of the best free apps for digital storytelling

Create iSpy ideas with educreations.

The greatest transformation in key classroom relationships:  the relationship of the students to their work, the relationship between students and other students, and the relationship of students to the process of assessing and reflecting upon their own work.

Educreations is one of the top contenders, teachers say, mostly because of its simple user interface and multi-functionality. "I use it when I need to make quick videos in class," said Ramsey Musallam, a high school chemistry teacher in San Francisco. Other features that teachers seem to love: the app offers more than one page for recording; the user can import images from other places and format them easily within the video; there's a text feature so students don't have to contend with messy teacher handwriting, and perhaps best of all, it can be used on desktop computers, not just an iPad.

Fantastic resources as alternates to powerpoint including images, iPad, cartoons, posters, etc.

I am forever promoting the app "Apps Gone Free," the daily feed of apps that for a limited time only, are free. The aim for the developers is that it draws people in to try the app with the view to build a bigger fan base.

Excellent starter kit app lists for kids and teens:

Great for scanning the ideas and having students comment on it...
