1x1 ipad apps for guided reading

Matt, thanks for sharing this! I am going to show this to the K teachers in my summer ipad workshop.

shows add-on (firefox) and extension (chrome) that allows you to read epubs in your browser.

This looks like a great app to record 1:1 conferences with students for reading, writing, math, etc. The lite version only allows you to keep records for 10 students, the full version costs 14.99. 3rd grade made a form to use last year on googledocs, but this seems a bit easier. 

similar to tween tribune, but teachers/students can choose among several reading levels for each article. with accounts, students can take quizzes.

good, quick overview of how a 3rd grade teacher uses blogging. includes specific examples.

Has anyone seen this? Interesting, leveled books using F+P, DRA etc, running records, teacher has the ability to assign books to the class and manage some data. They also have books available for the Ipad. Is it something we should look in to?

I used this for a week during Teacher Appreciation when it was free. It's pretty cool. So many levelled books

I used it in Newton with students on IEPS for reading....I found it particularly helpful for fluency as it models the reading for kids. The books are also pretty high interest as far as online readers go. The price is also not awful considering what other like programs go for.

Ipad App where books are read aloud to students.

Great App -stories brought to life with interactive illustrations and narrations by authors. Costs $$ but there is a free trial

the title says it all. blogs are broken down by categories: teacher bloggers, technology, subject areas, etc.

Some really interesting ideas here that we could try as a staff. I read a tweet yesterday where one school help a mtg via Twitter.
