"Last year we presented "10 of the best apps for education," which highlighted some of the best apps for iPhones and iPods. However, with new upgrades in touch technology, HD and 3D features, and the debut of the iPad, we've come up with a new list of the best Apple-based education apps for 2012."

Certainly the demand for apps isn't going away any time soon. Maybe this little app can help your students get excited about building their own apps.

Useful apps for back to school

Useful apps for back to school... for all of the iTouch and iphone users out there.

@techienichols Rolled out Google Apps last year. Here are some resources I created that were popular with teachers: http://t.co/Nc8OXkYb

I went on Twitter and asked for some resources for teaching teachers about Google Apps. This was a great find!

This wiki has great resources for teaching Google Apps and other web 2.0 tools.

"Yesterday, we announced full Google Apps for Education Integration with Wikispaces Private Label. Today we're showing you some great ways you can use this integration in your classroom."

Great way to share student work with parents.

The best iPhone and iPad apps for kids.

Great Google apps directly connected to education

This blog lists some helpful applications for the Android phone. I posted about apps earlier which was more centered for iPhones, so I found this to be interesting. I do not have an Android, but I know many people who do. The list includes apps for record keeping, storage, graphing, measurements, flash card building, and more. There was even the mention of Wolfram Alpha which we learned more about in our most recent class. This blog can be very helpful for educators and students that have the Android.

Nice tutorials for every Google App. Bookmark this one.

We have created a list of what we think are the best available apps out there and have categorized them into the following: Science, Language, Math, Administrative & Content Management, Interactive & Online Classrooms, Study Aids, Video & Imaging, Music, Multimedia, Geography & History, and Mapping Tools.

Check this out. Some great finds in here. All free.

This Google Site has been set up by Dr. Helen Barrett to focus on the use of Google Apps to create ePortfolios. On this site, there are instructions on how to use the different elements of Google Apps to maintain e-portfolios.

You can't have too many Google Apps resources, right? Unless, of course, it's blocked. :)

Math games that are able to be downloaded as an app for ipads, and ipods, allows students to play these games on the go.

Great site for games and apps which is perfect for lower level math classes, or students who need extra practice on their basic skills.

Definitely know that several of my students could still benefit from the basic skills these games would provide.

Found this tool for Android operating systems that allows you to easily create mindmaps. After the map is created, you can save it on the device directly in the app or save it to your own account.

If you've got (or are thinking about getting) Google Apps for Education, then you need to see this. Nice site that was announced at ISTE this year (2010)

"If you've ever wanted to paste "Pop Up Video"-style commentary bubbles over your favorite YouTube clip, Popcorn Maker's drag-and-drop UI couldn't be simpler. But you can also add more sophisticated interactivity like Google Maps, live Twitter feeds, and Wikipedia articles just as easily. "

"eduTecherTV is a show that focuses on educational technology and web-based tools that can make learning an even more fun and dynamic experience" This is a youtube channel that I stumbleupon (no, not the app) that seems very relavant to our LTMS 600 course. The video show seems to show new and useful ways to use web 2.0 tools to create a dynamic learning experience for students. Cool stuff!

This blog post in History Tech shares several great tools for the iPad and iPod that educators could use. The most interesting tools I feel would be helpful for a Social Studies Teacher would be the US Historical Documents as well as the World Fact Book. My favorite Web 2.0 tool on this list which I have used is the My Congress application where you can learn more about those who represent you in the United States Congress. This tool would be great for government classes! All of these resources appear to be very helpful for educators.
