While I am a fan of free apps, I think these paid apps are worth every penny! What are your favorite must-have paid apps for the iClassroom?"
"There's a great big World (Wide Web) out there, and it's hard to keep track of everything you find in it. Even if you do remember to bookmark a page and come back to it six months later, what are the odds of remembering why you bookmarked it in the first place? While this situation might be frustrating for your average Web surfer, it can be infuriating to the online learner or educator who may have been counting on returning to the information and rekindling a memory of why it was important to their studies or teaching. Fortunately there are a bunch of tools available to let the Internet remember for you. Curation and annotation tools allow you to not only "remember" a web site, but also to take notes about the pages you've visited, save them right on the pages themselves, and even share them with others."
"There's just so much science, nature, music, arts, technology, storytelling and assorted good stuff out there that my kids (and maybe your kids) haven't seen. It's most likely not stuff that was made for them...
But we don't underestimate kids around here.
Off the grid-for-little-kids videos and other smart stuff collected by Rion Nakaya and her three year old co-curator."
I really like how Dr. Jackie Gerstein used illustrations as general categories and then integrated links using "Thinglink" enabling interaction and deeper exploring.
I really like how iSupport broke down the 5 classroom projects using outcomes, context, and Blooms levels illustrating the potential learning taking place creating a movie, PDF, presentation and an interactive book on the iPad.
