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. 

free app. allows you to add 'augmented reality' content. short video example of how this elementary teacher used it. 

This looks like a really cool app to explore. You can pull up a student's work for parent-teacher conferences, assessment, or use as exemplars. How it works: With your smartphone or ipad, you can take a photo and tag it before you upload it and organize.

Take a picture with our app, and it's online in seconds Three Ring is a website that allows you to securely upload photos of student work. With Three Ring, you can sort by class, student, or custom tag to easily find the artifact you're looking for.

joe- it looks you CAN add your own audio recording to each piece of student work. i could not find, however, any reference to an ability to upload files. so it looks like the only way to add student work it to take a picture of it.

This website is a great site for locating apps based on Bloom's taxonomy, device, grade level, etc. I found one called Stick Pick, which is the digital version of the can with students' names on popsicle sticks!

Student engagement, digital/media/global upgrades, subject based resource communities, flipped classroom

Spent this afternoon learning about this site. I see many applications but need to play with it some more. We need to take a field trip to Josh Gold's classroom to see some cool technology integration.

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.

WritingFix: Sharing Quality Writing Lessons techniques strategically designed to "fix" reluctant writers and writing teachers Our Northern Nevada resource website freely shares with the world! Here in Northern Nevada, our local writing project (the NNWP ) will continue to sponsor this WritingFix website, which we launched back in 2001. The resources on this site are incredible. Lessons are tied to the 6 Traits of Writing, and if you get on their email list, you'll get a lesson a month sent to you for free.

Researchers from Columbia University, the University of Maryland, and the Smithsonian Institution beat me to this. They developed this free mobile app that uses visual recognition software to help identify tree species from photographs of their leaves. I use it to help students practice careful observation prior to writing. It motivates them to use specific nouns when describing a setting.

GoogleLitTrips, a website that creates google "trips" for books where the characters travel or experience different places. Create your own to help students understand the geography of an area

This is so COOL!!! I need to pick your brain about this one. Is it limited to just the books they have on the site?

scot, you can use google earth to make a "lit trip" for any book - or you can use (and edit) ones that people have uploaded to the site. "lit trips" are google earth "tours". i've proposed that gr 4 use a "tour" when they do their hot air balloon project.

This cool app helps students learn facts about states and get practice recognizing state's shapes, all in the guise of a fun game!

welcome to diigo, scot! this app is already installed on the cart ipads.we've got "stack the countries," too. full list at: www.lincnet.org/lincolnschoolapps

Thanks for the list link Mark. I was wondering about that.

smart board lessons, this link goes specifically to a weather key search

We have ActivInspire?? I love Promethean! I don't seem to have AI on mine though..

Trica it a bit hidden on mine - Open your applications - find the promethean folder - then click on the activesowftware inspire folder - in that folder the program is called "inspire" click to open. Then accept the license and click for personal use. Then you should be all set - or a least that is where it was on mine ;)

Classroom Organizer is a web-based program that allows users to maintain and inventory books in their classroom library. I used this with my 7th graders last year and they loved it. I purchased an inexpensive scanner, scanned all of my books into the free database, and showed the kids how to check out and return books. You can set up the books to show the lexile level, AR level, and various other data fields. You set up how long the check out time is, and you receive an email when books are overdue. It is by far, the MOST AMAZING classroom library organizer I've ever used, and it is my number one recommendation for any teacher with a classroom library.

This looks great! How much for a scanner?

It cost me just under $30 for a scanner. I got it online at Amazon.com - http://tinyurl.com/7tf8xcq
