"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."

"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.

Great Google apps directly connected to education

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

"I recently attended an event called Mobile Technology in Maths and Science, run by the London Knowledge Lab in association with the Open University. It was fascinating. Many, if not most, of the exhibits are proofs of concept, but hopefully will become much more than that. Here is a quick run-down of some of them:"

I will be sharing this article with the science teachers at my school. Talks about some great science apps.

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.

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)

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.

"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.

I'm told that this is now included in the Google Apps for Education.

Free web games created by certified teachers for learning. Cataloged by grade level appropriateness.  Elementary only, sorry Intermediate/High School!

This is a great page that shows different applications for the iPhone that are designed to assist educators. They include test generators, plagiarizing catching tools, and organizational tools. I also noticed that Moodle is on here, and I want to download that to make my time at Harrisburg University easier as I live with my iPhone. I have not heard of many of these applications, but they look like helpful resources.

"Bloom's iPad Taxonomy"

Great resource for creating engaging interactive lessons.
