This app gives the ability to turn your iPad into a personal IWB! Allows you to record voice-over whiteboard tutorials and share them online. You can also drop images from your photo library and write on/around them. To see examples, go to ShowMeApp.com. Makes me wish I had an iPad2 to try it out :) 

Ready for the next generation of textbook creation that utilizes good pedagogy? Imagine a living, breathing, dynamic textbook that offers different assignments for each individual based on their learning styles, allows for student-created work to be posted and featured based on accuracy/creativity votes and having students all around the world discuss content and share resources in real time through an integration with Google's new social networking service Google +.  Imagine all of this in a new dynamically changing interactive living 21st Century textbook ecosystem. Brain Mannix  would like to use the Blackboard/Collaborate platform as an engine to bring students and teachers around the world together to make this happen. Check it out!

"Throughout this series, I will focus on the Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition (SAMR) model highlighting different tasks that school-based administrators may face during the school year. These tasks will be broken down and explained using the SAMR model in the following order: Part 1: Staff Presentations Part 2: Community Interaction Part 3: File Management Part 4: Classroom Evaluations Part 5: Staff Input"

Socrative is a student response system that leverages the use of smartphones, laptops and tablets by having students respond to questions in various quiz and game formats. Almost instantaneously, student responses are populated and can be viewed by the entire class. No matter what format you use, Socrative is a fun and easy way for students to receive immediate feedback and for teachers to collect marks. Here is a nice tutorial:  http://youtu.be/EIn0FUzyDuE Here are some examples created by an English teacher you may want to import and try out:  SOC-256509 - Poetic Devices SOC-256496 - Types of Poems SOC-90777 - Short Story Terms #1 SOC-93415 - Short Story Terms #2 SOC-93503 - Short Story Terms #3

New templates for several new game formats. Definitely want to use some of these.

Wolfram|Alpha is a free online computational knowledge engine that generates answers to questions in real time by doing computations on its own vast internal knowledge base. Our long-term goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone. This can be valuable to educators in many ways. * This allows you to: interact with your results using sliders and controls; rotate and zoom 3D graphics and visualizations, and manipulate results directly in your browser. * "Sometimes being able to change parameters dynamically just enriches what is already rather complete output. But often, it's what really makes the output meaningful." Wolfram|Alpha introduces a fundamentally new way to get knowledge and answers- not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms, and methods.
