March 21, 2013 - Paul Shimmons That question is what I approach every app that I use with - How is this app going to improve on my life? Is this app going to make my life easier?
Kind of ironic that the blog entry doesn't display correctly on the iPad! I had to switch to my laptop to see all of the blog and comments. Anyway, the entry mentions using tutorials about apps. Is it possible to screencast ipad apps in action like I do on the laptop with screencastomatic or quicktime?
I found this app to be a great tool to use for the spelling of various vocabulary words in Spanish. Teachers can assign the category they want the students to practice with or the students can pick by category. Some of the topics students can pick from are numbers, clothing, verbs, body parts house, etc. In my curriculum we don't teach all of the vocabulary presented, yet they can use the letter choices given to attempt at the spelling and they are learning a new vocabulary word for the picture given.
This podcast blog was started recently and aims to provide a new idea for using your iPad each day. I hope the author keeps up with this ambitious goal as the format looks great.
