For those that are using ipod touch in the classroom

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? 

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 

Word cloud creator. Similar to wordle but better with more choice of templates. 

A great poster creator. Worth a look students can upload images and manipulate them to look like posters. Students can export out to blogs etc or print. Could be useful online tool for short presentations of student work. 

Cool Online music creator as well as editor and image editor definitely worth checking this one out. 

Amazing online paint tool photoshop like

Wow I want those ipod touches in my classroom. So many resources to choose from.

A great extension for Google Chrome. That allows you to take screen shots and then annotate them. This would be very useful for teachers and or students who create 'how to' instructional 

Great article by Kenneth Davidson re: Gillard Government continuing to use the Howard era school funding model

This looks like an interesting tool for some fun art activities. Might see if we can get this one put on the server for all to use. 

For Grade 2 teachers and Khamal, you might want to add somethings to this. Just email Tom Barret if you want to contribute. He has many of these 'interesting ways' presentations. Great source of classroom ideas
