"We're back for Spring 2012! Check out our Spring "Appy Hours 4 U" schedule. We air live Thursdays @ 3:30 pm."

"Just finished a Super Saturday "Hot Apps 4 HOTS" workshop. Wish I had come across Brad Wilson's "App Learning Tasks" sooner. What a fantastic resource! Have included his site with seven others I thought might be useful for promoting higher order thinking skills when utilizing an iDevice."

"In building the "iTools for the 1 iDevice Classroom" workshop, we felt there was a great need for modeling how various game-like apps can be utilized in multiple settings (e.g. cooperative pairs, small groups, stations, whole class). We also felt very strongly that it wasn't enough to just talk about classroom and curricular uses but to truly model and discuss how task cards and recording sheets would be used and what follow-up and extension activities would look like."

"This is a supplement to "Appy Hours 4 You" Blog Talk Radio Show: Episode 9 - "Cautionary Apps". In this episode we were joined by Susan Reeves (App-tastic ITS and Google Certified Teacher). Our topic was cautionary apps: how to review apps, where to find the best apps, and the pedagogical practices behind selecting appropriate apps for classroom use. We also shared a specific list of cautionary edu apps and how teachers can avoid or better prepare instruction around these selections by previewing and preselecting content."

"In the spirit of my last post, I would like to share another science apptivity for the iPad. I wish I could take credit for this one but Bryan P Doyle is the author of the resource. I had the pleasure of attending his session at the Area 7 Conference this summer."

"Preparing for a guest blog for Computer Explorers on the topic of "How Can iPads Support Literacy?", I spent some time looking for a few of my favorite titles of the "I Like…" series in the app store to determine which ones were currently free. And do you know what I found? Not one… but 37 Books in 1 for… free."

If you follow my blog, you will know that Ms. Carnazzo has quite the iLesson toolkit (e.g short vowel sounds with Songify, Math fact families with Talking Tom and friends, classifying motion with iCardSort, and integrating Math and literacy using Puppet Pals Director's Pass) for utilizing one iPad in her elementary classroom."

"This is a supplement to "Appy Hours 4 You" Blog Talk Radio Show: Episode 6 - "Music 4 the Classroom". In this episode, we featured 7 free and paid apps that can be utilized for music production. We discussed the functionality of each app and what features were available as in-app purchases."
