Check this out great ipod app for story starters. Now I really wish I had those ipod touches in my classroom! This looks great. Even though we tend to avoid the "Once upon a time" story starter this app has heaps of potential
This looks very interesting. The potential is huge for students to develop apps for the Android platform. How can apple beat this one if they have locked down their apps store? The great thing about App inventor is that it looks like it has been modelled on Scratch 'Blocks' of building scripts. My Grade 5 and 6's (some whiz kids lower) would love to get their hands on this. The potential for them to develop their own apps for perhaps an Android tablet or smart phone is enormous. Rich and authentic possibilities for learning. Have DEECD made a wrong choice in going with the ipad?
Yeah Yeah Yeah! Another very valuable blog post from Tom Barret on Google forms for the classroom. What one would give to have a 1to1 laptop program when these tools are around. Great assessment tool.
This looks interesting. Would be suited to the advanced level 3 and 4 student wanting to go further than the usual 'design your own bedroom" or draw a floor plan of your dream bedroom.
