Rachel S. Smith of New Media Consortium demonstrates how she uses an iPad to visually record presentations (think doodling!) She demonstrates narrated QT video using Brushes and iMovie. GREAT ideas for presentation development! For EDTEC572 students: I KNOW the semester is over.. But some of you will think this is really nifty :)

PLEASE! Keep adding great resources to our diigo group! I use these ideas all the time for inspiration and new things. Thank you so much, Cathy!

I was asked to attend Apple's e-learning session over the summer to learn about some of the great teaching apps for the iPad. I learned how to use many for Language Arts and am excited to share! This website highlights a couple of the best apps we went over for all of the subjects! Enjoy!

About iPad and mobile learning

For all you math teachers and parents, MathBoard may help your student learn to love math. MathBoard is appropriate for all ages from kindergarten (with simple addition and subtraction problems) to elementary school, where learning multiplication and division can be a challenge. You can control the range of numbers you want to work with, the amount of questions you want to answer and length of time allowed per quiz. Kids will likely love it. Even if this were merely a calculator, students would be lining up to play with it because it's on an iPad. The fact that it comes through on its promise makes it all the more useful. The random problem generator is particularly handy for creating quizzes. Gone are the days of picking through or creating your own problems and pasting them into a quiz. MathBoard does all of this for up to 250 problems per quiz. Can I use it in my classroom? This tool is designed specifically for classroom use. Students can use it to work on new math techniques, and teachers can use it to generate homework and quizzes. It's a perfect match. I'm providing a link to a youtube demo above. Please click on it and judge for yourself.

Great example of touchscreen mobile algebra interactive learning solution.
