Bloom's Taxonomy of Google Apps

Blog that integrates information about using technology in the educational setting with ways to better teach special needs students. Written by an CCC-SLP, this blog both gets down to the basics of using technologies such as ipads to using specific applications with a targeted population in schools.

This set of applications lets you set up audio drop-boxes so your students can record and turn in their spoken answers. There are also ways to create worksheets for videos and embed them together in a "mash-up" activity. Especially for foreign language teachers, this seems like an awesome assortment of apps!

This is a really cool website that is about an iPad trial in schools in Australia. The website provides case studies, information on the benefits of using iPads, classroom ideas, videos and pictures, and more. My favorite part of the website is that it also provides a list of great educational apps broken into different categories and subject areas.

teaching with iPad

A summary of Google apps that can help you in the classroom. Check it out!

I think someone mentioned this in class. The third grade teacher I work with is using Class Dojo and the students love it. I think she has it as a free app on her phone, so as she is walking around the classroom she can give either the whole class, or an individual student some positive reinforcement. She uses just the positive reinforcement buttons, but there are negative behaviors that you can identify as well. You can type in any positive or negative behavior you wish. I think this looks very motivating for students. I would use it on my phone, too, rather than project it because I think it can be very distracting for students to see the avatars and hear the bell ringing when the teacher reinforces a student's behavior.

iPads are in more and more classrooms... This link includes a link to great math apps as well as some good discussion from math teachers using Khan Academy and others.
