    Point your ipad at the sky any time of day or night to see what is up there. Learn the names of constellations, planets and satellites. Click on any of them to learn in depth information. Cool spacey background music too!

    Cool. I like Solar Walk a lot. Star Walk has more, but Solar Walk fits the bill for sure.

    There are many free apps as well as some free online metronomes. I like them b/c they help students find rhythm in the poems that they write.

    I use this in addition to Leafsnap to help students get to specific nouns in writing a descriptive piece. Also excellent research resource.

    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.

    For $258 we could get 21 issues of National Geographic Explorer for the ipad (for each of our 20 ipads in the smith cart) - with 7 K-1 issues, 7 2-3 issues and 7 4-6 issues (also can be used for higher readers in 2-3). Much more cost effective then ordering paper copies, and a great way to make digital literature available in all K-5 classrooms. App is very interactive and connections to grade level science content occur often. http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngexplorer/pioneer/

    I like that idea. I was looking into magazines for 1st grade but like that this is interactive. Would it have to be split from team budgets?
  • Terry Green on 25 Jun 12
     
    Looks good, kids would really love it. I would be willing to help pay the costs with some of my budget. Could use the content to address the ELA common core science standards.

    Use this timer to give auditory signals to students during work blocks about how much time remains.

    Students at the UK public school Flitch Green Academy use iPad, Mac, and iPod touch to create unique learning experiences. The inspiration Flitch Green is a public elementary/middle school located just outside of London. Love the discussion of how the technology builds independence. One of the apps used on the ipad is Puppet Pals one that I use frequently in the classroom - although only on my personal device at this time :(
