"As an app developer (see TechChef4u app), I have the rare pleasure of previewing iOS 6 before it hits iDevices in schools, businesses, and homes everywhere. While iOS 6 is chocked full of new and hidden gems, I thought the following 10 were the most promising features for educators and the iClassroom!"
"Using Blooms Taxonomy in education is a highly effective way to scaffold learning for the students. With the recent popularity and pervasive nature of iOS devices in school districts it is essential for educators to understand how to implement Blooms in the classroom using the apps that are available.
While this list is by no means fully comprehensive, it will assist educators in getting started when implementing iOS devices in the classroom.
This site will change almost daily as it will be updated with new and exciting apps!
If you find any that you have worked with in your classroom please email dmileham@e1b.org or tweet @bloomsapps with your suggestions. Thanks for checking the site! "
"In any application round-up - mobile or otherwise - about work, education or GTD, you'll see the most advanced conglomeration of note-taking applications. Often, the applications already present on the operating system are ignored. Likely, this is because these applications generally don't amount to much. However, on Apple products, they do. The Notes application that was already available on iOS systems like the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, can these days also be found as an integral part of the Mac OS X operating system."
"Big news for one of the hottest education technology startups. ClassDojo, a popular tool that helps you actually manage your classroom, has released its iOS app today. I spoke with the founder of ClassDojo, Sam Chaudhary, and he walked me through some of the best parts of the app and what it all means for teachers."
"However, here in Educational Technology and Mobile Learning we have a particular focus on iOS apps that work on iPad and we have been featuring some great learning apps pertaining to different subject matters, from Math to Arts and Drawing . Our purpose is to help educators put their hands on the proper educational apps to use with students. We have also compiled another list of new learning apps which you can check below :"
"While many are still skeptical about adopting mobile devices as a dedicated educational tool, I've come to find over the past month or so that, given the right applications, your smartphone/tablet can become the saving grace in a hectic college student's day-to-day routine. For those college students out there toting an iOS device such as an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, here are some of the best apps I've found for helping you make it through the semester. "
"This year we introduced the Reflection app for PC and Mac at BPSCON. The application allows the iPad screen to be projected on any PC or Mac via AirPlay technology integrated into all iOS devices running iOS 5.0 and higher."
If you use Evernote and you want to put the Send to evernote bookmarklet on your Safari web browser, herea re the instructions for how to do that. This website also has many iOS bookmarklets that do things - a great plus for the productivity nuts among us (like me.)
"Be forewarned, then: The Fourth Dimension is an app which will mess with your head. Deliberately. Even though the aim is education and expansion of knowledge, it will still mess with your head. You will emerge from the experience only fractionally the wiser, and quite a lot more confused than you were at the beginning. Don't worry, this is perfectly normal.
The aim of the app is to explain four spatial dimensions to creatures like us who live in a stubbornly three dimensional universe."
"Over the course of the year, staff at this school will be receiving a significant amount of professional development to help them better utilize the technology that is available to them. The focus of my session was iOS Apps for professional development. I scrolled through my iPad and made a list of the Apps that I use on a regular basis to help me learn and develop as an educator. Here's what I came up with:"
