Lately, we have been discussing using QR Codes to help manage workflow for disseminating content to be accessed on iPads. This is another great post from Richard Byrne, with an embedded Common Craft video, explaining ideas for QR Codes in the classroom.

I sent this link to Chris Harrow, a colleague who teaches math at The Westminster School in Atlanta. Here are his first impressions: Cool = very smooth functionality on the iPad, you can do all the explorations in the most excellent iPad touchscreen environment, a very tactile approach to learning geometry. Frustrating = you have to create the docs elsewhere, on first exploration, I don't see a way to do constructions directly in this app. If a kid gets a good idea that requires additional "stuff" on the construction, s/he may not be able to instantly follow up on intuition. Any one else want to weigh in?

This claims to be the first browser created by a doctor that is just for kids. The idea is that parents and educators curate content and students then can only access what they have identified. An interesting concept to present curated vs. filtered content.

This app includes image based thinking prompts and the ability for students to record their ideas via audio.

Animoby is a sort of screencasting tool, but not really. The idea is to instantly create and publish products that include voice, drawings, and images.
