There are so many apps available for education and for productivity. In my everyday work I have found apps to be very useful for organization and time management. It is difficult to find the right app for the right task, and I could use this website to help assist with that.
As someone who works in the field of transition planning I would also be able to use this website to explore and find apps to fit the unique learning and transition needs of students with disabilities. For example, if one of my students had an iPad, I could use this app to explore the many apps that might assist them in a job intership or help them to become better at study strategies or organization and time management. The types of apps described in the website and applications for education are endless.
This is a great resource for all educators. There is such an unending sea of apps available now that it is very helpful to have them presented in such a manageable way.

"Realizing the full potential of the internet - universal access to research,

growth, and productivity."
"This site will be
both a support site for my presentations about iPad use for teaching and
learning and it also includes links to other iPad information pages."
"When a teacher is looking for a new way to teach a student, a concept, or a
lesson, the chances are the best resource is another teacher. On LessonCast,
teachers share ideas and resources through screencast videos called lessoncasts.
The LessonCast community connects educators with classroom-proven experience and
great ideas"
"A lessoncast is a spreadable example of the what, why, and how of effective
teaching.
Lessoncasts feature one lesson idea or management strategy in 2
minutes 30 seconds or less. Lessoncasts include teacher-created downloadable
resources to help implement the ideas. A lessoncast is NOT a lesson plan, but
rather a quick how-to overview meant to inspire and support teachers looking for
effective resources."
