The article was "Mobility and its Impact on Learning" and was written by Ruth Reynard over at the Campus Technology site.

    "At GeekDad we are big fans of apps that actually use mobile devices in innovative ways to support children's learning. Motion Math Games are one of those developers who have led the way in thinking about how they can design digital learning environments that provide ways for children to learn math with their hands and minds. Their first fraction/decimals app called Motion Math has become one of the benchmarks against which others should be comparing themselves."

AppAdvice App Of The Week For August 27, 2012 -- AppAdvice - 2 views

  •  
    "One of our staff's ubiquitous favorite apps is Drafts, which was originally only on the iPhone. We love it because it's a fantastic way to quickly jot down whatever bits of text we may need, and then send it off to other apps or take other actions with it. Think of it as a "Launch Center for text." Last week, our friends at Agile Tortoise gave the iPhone version a major 2.0 update, and also brought us a new treat: Drafts for iPad."

Apps in Education: 4 Way Video Calls on iPad - 7 views

  •  
    "Last month Fring released an iPad optimized version of their app that can do 4-way video calling. Now you can talk to 4 people at once and because the screen is cut in 4 you can see everyone. You can make the video calls over 3G as well as WiFi and as an added bonus, Fring is a multi platform app. You can use it to talk and video chat with your friends even if they have an Android device. I can't help but think about ways to use this in education. "

Bloom's Taxonomy of apps | iPad Curriculum - 14 views

  •  
    "Bloom's Taxonomy is by no means the best or only way to categorize websites, apps or other educational tools. However, I often find that for my purposes, it is a really nice way to organize tools so that I can find them later. It also keeps me (and my students) thinking about the learning process and keeps us all from getting stuck in a one-type-of-learning rut."
