"First, my friend Harry Walker developed a great rubric for evaluating apps for ipods/ipads for classroom use. It's here. Second, I've tried, in vain, to keep an updated list of "favorite apps" but it's such a moving target, it's nearly impossible. I've listed just a sampling of apps below to get you started.

This page provides a breakdown of videos within the Technology Integration Matrix by grade level. Although you may be primarily interested in a particular level, we encourage you to view the ways in which technology is used in other grade levels. For example, you will find videos of high school classrooms in which the technology tools could be used in the same way with middle school or elementary level students.
