Create rich images with music, video, sound, text and more.

read this article that explains tbe benefits of Guided Access for special needs students like those with autism and also to prevent cheating.
iOS6 also allows you to enable Guided Access which can lock an app on the screen and turn off the home button as well as other features. This could offer lots of potential for making the iPad more usable in the classroom
I also love the fact that in Spotlight you can see the folder in which an app resides! YEA!

When I first started blogging, I thought the posts would be the primary focus of the blog. I quickly realized that the comment section was where the blog came to life.
Many parents work but would love to volunteer in some way. Last year, I asked parents to become “virtual volunteers” for our blogs.

With classroom time at a premium, I look for meaningful ways to integrate curriculum; the blog has been the perfect venue.

Each student composed a comment for the blog from the point of view of that animal.
During our biography unit, I had each student select a famous person to study. Students submitted a creative comment pretending they were that person. George Washington got a comment from Queen Elizabeth I, Mozart and Tchaikovsky were chatting; the blog comments truly brought these historic people to life!
Of all the riches that blogging has brought to my class, the relationships we’ve built with other classrooms around the world have been the most rewarding.
