20 iPad Apps To Teach Elementary Reading | TeachThought - 22 views

  •  
    "As anyone with a toddler knows, iPads are addictive for children. They seem to have some sort of special radar that lets them know when an iDevice is within their reach, and they'll do anything they can to get their hands on them. Resistance is futile, but instead of lamenting excessive screen time, you can make your child's iPad addiction a productive one with educational apps, including those that promote early reading. With these 20 apps, children can learn how to write letters, improve phonics fluency, and even write their own books."

    Thanks for these great resources. I particularly liked play and sing, with its great British accent. I'm keen to find apps with UK spelling and accents for primary school. Any ideas or pointers would be appreciated.

  •  
    "Great iPad apps play a huge part in making the iPad such a massive success and the leader in the tablet arena. Just as I did in 2010, I've tried out scores of iPad apps this year - and once again some are mediocre, some are poor, and happily many are outstanding. So I'd like to share my choices for Best iPad Apps of 2011 here."

How to use AirPlay - New Tech Gadgets & Electronic Devices | Geek.com - 1 views

  •  
    "AirPlay is an Apple feature that many iOS users don't know a lot about. For starters, it requires an Apple TV set-top-box, a gadget that isn't nearly as popular as other Apple products. Additionally, the best parts of AirPlay only showed up late last year with the release of iOS 5. It's relatively new territory, and thus often confuses people. The good news is that it's not difficult to use and it's an excellent way to get more out of your iDevices."

      Of course they will!
  • “We think there are many areas in special education where this kind of technology can be successful, but we need data to make good decisions.”

      What of our tacit knowledge about learning, including that knowledge about the students?  Is this no good?  Can we not act upon what we know and not solely upon sterile data from a test?

      Granted, the iPad has potential in school, but this article, among many others, is so vague at how the device is different other than the screen size and a mention of it's price tag.   iPads seem to be going the way of the IWB.   I still contend that these won't be successful until they are made personal.  Meaning, give it to the kid to have for the entire year.  Let them take it home, play with it, read on it, correspond on it and make their learning personal.   I'm currently in a pilot with iPads and the students are lukewarm to the device because they know it will go away or that they won't be able to make it work for them personally.
