Nice little app for manipulating fraction pieces. Can easily be used with an electronic whiteboard. Allows students and teachers to manipulate, +/-, x/divide fractions and show relationships.

Creating student portfolios for access later is a very big market and three ring offers one way of doing it. Simple image upload with custom tagging. 

Longtime fan of Zotero! I'm glad they are getting access to new platforms. I switched from Firefox to Chrome a couple of years ago, and have missed being able to use the tool as effectively. I know they've had Chrome tools for a while, but now they also have effective (more effective, but not perfect) iPad apps as well. 

More physics applets from Edinformatics. I don't know exactly who they are but they have their applets organized by content/level/topic which is a great way of helping people find applicable apps 

Blog about Chris Geeen's iPod touch project at his school. Has some very interesting ideas about how students can create quick products from research on the iPod touch. Worth looking at if you have access to mobile learning tools not just iPod, although some of the apps are specific to the iPod.

If you want to be more proactive about the use of web 2.0 apps in your work, here is a nice, easy to use explanation on how to embed 'stuff' into your work. Again, easy to read, pretty easy to follow, and useful.

I don't use twitter this extensively, but if I were, then tweetdeck would be a must. I am going to explore and would love some ideas for why I should use this in my educational learning community? I need the value added. I can track stock quotes through other apps that are more effective, what do I need tweetdeck for?

simple java based apps that can be used with IWBs 

I've long used Evernote for my own personal notetaking on the web(although I have recently been migrating to Diigo for my online annotations), this post by Shawn Miller is such a great explanation of the tool that I'm going to move Evernote back into the forefront of my notetaking. I do love the mobile Evernote app on iPhone. It makes it very easy to not only take multiple kinds of notes (audio, text, image) but makes it easy to share those notes. 

new conversation app for education. I haven't played with it yet, but am interested in learning more. Anybody using it?
