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.

Downloaded - I'll be giving it a try - I have used a notebook creating app for a similar purpose, but this seems to be designed for what I have been forcing the other app to do. I wish you could add voice recordings as I like to do running records, and fluency analysis after I take a picture of a page a student is reading.

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 is a new publication that Newton has come out with highlighting the use of technology and ways in which it is seeking to create 21st century learners. Is has some nice articles and some descriptions of how certain technology is used in the classroom. I thought it might be interesting for us to look at how another district is tackling the same issues we are.

Nice list Mark...I wanted to try the Storylines app at morning meeting but it limits the ipad passing to 9 people. Guess I could do two. I'll let you know how it goes.

I got Storypatch. It looks pretty good and offers a lot of options for the kids to make stories. I am going to try it out with a few students and see how it goes.

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.

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?

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.
