    This amazing new tool (new to me at least) allows you to create a short story and set it to music using the Google Docs interface. When you are done it creates a short link to share out to all your family and friends. This has amazing implications in education and technology for use as a quick check for understanding, overview video, formative assignment, or quick creative writing assignments.

    This is a great new tool that I stumbled upon while doing some research for another project. It kind of brings together all the neat stuff Google is doing with Documents, collaboration, music, and short URLs.

    This looks like exactly what I would like to try with my students to get them doing some collaborative story writing! I would use this for creative story writing, research, and as a planning tool in 3rd grade.
  • Tyler Hellmann on 14 Nov 12
     
    This would be a cool idea in the classroom for sure!!!! Perhaps, they can collaborate and create their story before making a video or presentation - which could also be created collaboratively.

    This is an article discussing a new Ipad App called "Spin" which allows students to hold a online, collaborative discussion while viewing multiple videos at once. This is said to be the new "Skype" allowing communication and interactive discussion to occur throughout the world with one application. Something for teachers to look into for their own classrooms one day! This application seems like it might have a future in our schools.

    Wow, what a great collaborative app! In addition to implementing in the classroom, this appears to also have great potential for facilitating distance education. I wonder what the network bandwidth requirements are and how many simultaneous video streams can be supported?
  • Adam Hinrichsen on 30 Oct 12
     
    This looks like it could be the future of distance education. A great tool that could be incorporated into a class like our online Ed Tech classes at UNI. I am not sure if I would use this in a regular classroom, it would depend on the lesson, but this appears to be the new and best option for online video discussions.
  • Sandra Steinfadt on 06 Nov 12
     
    This looks like it has some great potential. I am going to have to check it out further.
  • Robert Nelson on 12 Nov 12
     
    This is a really cool App that will be very useful in Problem Based Learning environments because it is a great collaborative tool. Great Post Hannah!

    If anyone uses the Casper Suite as an MDM then JAMF Nation is the place to check out new ideas, add in new comments, and change posts on how things work.  It is a good look for those of us that use this software on a daily basis.

    Whatever you may use to manage iOS and OS X devices, this is a great resource for you to post a question and get some awesome feedback on management. Yes, the group is geared for tech staff and those using their software, but they leave it intentionally wide open. Also note the "jobs board" in the lower right corner is not just for them, but for tech jobs around the globe!

    A website that explains wikis, how to use them, and has examples of wikis.
  • Hannah Laucamp on 16 Nov 12
     
    I think this is a great place for new educators to start (or educators new to this technology). It gives you the basics and instruction for what what exactly a wiki is and how it can be used. We need simple and clear cut sites like these to introduce new technologies so that we don't get so lost and left behind!

  • Ann Hansen on 13 Nov 12
     
    This site is a great resource to help keep up on what is going on in education at all levels. I especially liked the recent article entitled, "5 Things Teachers Want Parents to Know". I really don't think this site is just for teachers but I think teachers will be the ones to use the site most. Teachers are very busy and don't always have time to read several news feeds to get our educational news, so its nice that its all right here.

    I really enjoyed looking more into Mrs. Nessman's blog. I am a huge fan of blogs and love to get new ideas. I feel some of the best ideas are ones in which we find from other teachers. She provides a lot of creative ideas in which I could modify to use within my own future classroom. Thanks for sharing!

    This is a really neat blog! I always enjoy reading about new and creative ideas that I could possibly use in my future classroom. Mrs. Nessman's blog is very impressive and creative! I could definitely see myself using this blog as a reference when I am a teacher. I have not encountered any other blog that is this innovative. I can see many teachers learning much from Mrs. Nessman. Good find, Nicole!

    Thanks for sharing this blog. Although I am a Special Education teacher I still felt like their were a lot of ideas I could apply to my classroom. It's always fun to see what other educators out their are doing. This blog would be used primarily for teachers as its all about ideas in the classroom for instruction and projects. However you could use it to create a project choice list for you students to choose to complete so many by the end of the year.

This is a great source to help spread the word of things that work well for others that may for you.

    Great resource for ideas and collaborating with other educators regarding the use of iPads in education through blogs, tips, discussions, and videos. Great job on your "QR Code Crime Scene" video you posted to the Ning!!! Excellent example of what is possible!! I joined the Ning and will share this with teachers using iPads in our school.

    Do agree or disagree that the resource can be used efficiently in your own future classroom? Explain why or why not. I agree that this resource could be used efficiently in my classroom. I have an iPad in my classroom and this website gives great ideas of apps to use. Do you believe the resource is mostly for teacher use, student use, or both? Explain your perceptions constructively. I believe the resource is mostly for teacher use but allows teachers to find apps for student use. Teachers can find resources, download them, and then allow students to use them. Are you aware of any simililar resources that should be considered? If so, what are those resources. Yes, I have also seen websites that provide lists of apps and have included them in my own library.
  • Randon Ruggles on 13 Nov 12
     
    This is a great resource and one that totally is worth checking out! This is for sure a tool that can be used in the classroom. It is chalked full of great ideas and awesome tools to use in the classroom. This is mainly a tool for teacher use, but it could also be a resource for students looking for a different way to complete a project. There are many different uses of such an amazing ning like this! There are some great other Nings out there, Facebook pages, groups on LMS sites like Schoology, and other websites out there that are similar. This one is unique because of the Ning platform for sure!

  • Ashley Ulin on 13 Nov 12
     
    I thought this resource was great and thought provoking for the educator that has access to i pads in the classroom. Not only could educators use this source but parents as well. I also agree with Randon that it has student uses as well. I agree with Randon as well that many other resources and social media pages such as facebook and twitter are available, however the creation of this site gives a different navigational system to explore.

    This is a great resource for teachers and students in the classroom. The more resources that we have the greater the level of learning can be. Teachers and students will benefit for this resource. Thanks for sharing
