Always great to find recommendations for iPhone apps from other educators. Liz Kolb mentioned Karen Montgomery in her recent radio show and Karen is sharing her favorites on her blog. Intrigued by Yummy which is a free bookmark manager that allows you to search Delicious and add/edit bookmarks from iPhone. Just wish it worked with Diigo too!

As a math tutor in NYC that deals with children of all ages, I am constantly looking for fun, new ways to teach my students. Since many of them have access to an iPhone or iPad (or both), I recommend that they use their devices as an educational tool. Believe it or not, your smartphone or tablet can be a great learning resource."

The iPhone - your most portable computer - is an unbelievably helpful tool when it comes to educational organization, studying, note taking, staying connected with other students, data reference, and more.

"A summer of sport is nearly here and all over the UK schools are sharing Olympic Fever through social networks and smartphones. As the Olympic Flame makes its way around the country, students are filming it pass through their town and uploading it to a safe social network for schools using the new MakeWaves iPhone app. The free MakeWaves app makes it safe and easy for pupils of all ages to upload video and images, post comments and take part in competitions instantly from an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. Specially designed teacher tools allow educators to quickly take creative learning outside the classroom and easily manage their student's social media work anywhere."

"Children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are visual learners. Thus, there appears to be great potential in the use of iPhones and iPads, which are very visually-oriented devices, to help these kids achieve their educational goals."
