65+ iPad Apps Perfect For Elementary School | Education Technology and Teacher Tools - ... - 4 views

  •  
    I really like this site.Teachers are always looking for suggestions. For teachers who are using iPads in the classroom, this would be a beneficial site to acquire apps that will suit all lesson plans. This site provides more than 65 apps that are categorized into the subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, Social Studies, and general apps that can be used for all. There are plenty more educational apps out there so it is important to stay up to date.
  •  
    This is a great resource for teachers starting a 1-1 program with iPads. As someone who is interested in using the iPad in the classroom, this might be the best resource I have seen. It's no question that it isn't the iPad itself, rather the apps that are developed that are the big draw for use in education. I really like that the apps featured on this site are divided into the different subjects that they entail, even sign language! This is a resource I will use in the future if I get the chance to use an iPad in my classroom.
  •  
    This is a great resource. All of the apps that are available to teacher to use is a great plus!

    If your looking for the right web 2.0 tool to meet a specific level of Blooms Taxonomy this is the place to go. A detailed chart indicating which tools associate in each area.
  •  
    This resources use of a pyramid allows teachers to quickly differentiate what technological tools will be most appropriate for specific learning goals matched to Bloom's Taxonomy. This will mainly be used by teachers but some students will find it easy to understand and can use it for developing student-lead projects that are on the Bloom's "create" level. I do not know of any other resources that link taxonomy and technology together in such an efficient manner.
  •  
    Thanks for sharing this resource Destery. Lately, apps for mobile devices (particularly iOS devices) organized by Blooms has been buzzing on Twitter. Here is a site called "Bloomin' Android," by Kathy Schrock, that organizes Android apps on the revised Blooms Taxonomy. (http://kathyschrock.net/androidblooms/).
  •  
    I went out and found the "Bloomin iPad" information she put together as well. I found quite a few helpful apps on the list, thanks for the information.
  •  
    This is great. Just learned about Bloom last month. It is good to have a resource that will help in directing me towards apps that will go along with the targeted part of the taxonomy. I think this will be used mostly by teachers.

More Than 5 Million Users Work Online With Zoho - 2 views

  •  
    An alternative to Google apps. You can write documents, make presentations, chat, and even have another source for email.
  •  
    This is a very useful tool, and it is free for educational purposes. I don't know how needed it is, however, because most of the features can already be found on-line for free. I feel that Google would be a better option for schools, because it is more widely used and student would be able to make use it after graduation.

    Blogs about teaching students with new tools.

    Vicki Davis, who runs the Cool Cat Teacher blog, is also active on Twitter and posts insightful tweets.
  •  
    This is a great blog, it is also one that is posted daily. This makes it extremely useful and worth my time to check. She has so many resources for any type of technology out there. This is blog is designed for teachers but is useful for students in the college of education.
  •  
    Vicki Davis is a pioneer for using online applications and Web 2.0 with students. She is a superwoman! I agree with Hailey, this blog is extremely useful for teaching candidates, because it provides us with real life examples (Vicki's students and the FCP) of how online education is working! I think this resource would prove more useful to teachers because it discusses many different things that a teacher might face, and she also relates personal stories for examples. It kind of gives us some perspective on what we might expect when using web apps and online learning in the classroom. Angela Maeirs' education blog is a similar type of blog, and both women are incredibly inspiring teachers.
  •  
    I like how there are daily posts to the website. As a teacher candidate i would consider using this site a lot in the future.
  •  
    I have been following this blog for a little over a year now. I feel like this blog is an excellent resource for teachers. This blog shows educators how they can incorporate these new applications or tools into their own teaching. This is one of the best educational blogs that I have ever come across.
  •  
    This is the first time I have seen this blog. I believe this is a great way for educators to learn new ways to incorporate new tools into their classrooms. It seems to update often, and I plan on viewing this resource in the future, because of the interesting topics that are being blogged about.
  •  
    I've been following this blog and I also follow her on twitter. She has some great ideas and I really enjoy reading her posts.
