In case you missed this comprehensive review of the new iPad (4) with Retina Display. Good coverage spanning all versions of the iPad (including mini) and recent iPhones in the performance benchmarks. YMMV ;-)
"Today's app review is about Keeper - an app for securely storing and accessing your private information and passwords. Keeper takes the frustration out of having to remember tons of passwords for different websites, and as I've found out, makes quickly accessing different educational and administrative websites a breeze."
"Nearpod is a service for delivering lessons, quizzes, and polls to students through iPads. I reviewed Nearpod when it launched to the public in May. This week Nearpod introduced some convenient updates to their offerings. One of the the new features that I like is Web Share which lets teachers share websites with students in a safe browser environment. Another option that I like is a PIN system that allows students to access content that teachers share with them before a class meeting."
"As a graduate student, I use my iPad for taking notes in my classes. I have tried 3 different note taking aps and have found Notability to be my favorite for its functionality, note organization system, and ability to detect my stylus. I mostly use this app to take hand written notes using a stylus. My stylus of choice is the Bamboo from Wacom."
"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."
"This weekend I was excited to see that an iPad SMART Board app has been released, at the end of August. I was flipping through my iPad reader on Zite when the title: SMART Boards and the Notebook for iPad App hit my eye"
"Enter Educreations, a start up that allows anyone to create, narrate, and record lessons (whiteboard style) and publish the tutorials on the web, all from your iPad. This is a pretty amazing looking start up, and just closed a $2.2. million round of funding from investors. I'm guessing that investors see the writing on the digital walls!"
