I quote from the article one of the most salient features/best uses. "What distinguishes Izik is a search tool known as slashtags.

This feature enables users to refine results and build curated collections of select Web pages and then search and share those resources with others.

So create a collection of Web resources, then share the slashtag with students, suggests Price. "Now, the only sites they'll be searching are the ones you've selected," he writes." I would be curious as to what you think of this. It's very visual, but has a trendy, pop, "People's Magazine" to it. I searched something and wanted solid results, but couldn't find a source. I wouldn't accept Izik as a source. Started out looking good to me, but having second thought.

This very short and concise article has been in my thinking as I've worked with students especially recently and pulled together other resources on Common Core. Amidst the glut of information and feeding frenzy tendencies, structure and guidance is needed from all of us to be deliberate. As we design instruction, consider learning expectations, select tools and resources and raise the bar for students, "re-impress upon digital natives the importance of thinking in absence of endless - and endlessly accessible - data sources." I urge you to shake up completely the animal, planet or country report. (I doubt that you are doing this cookie-cutter work, but spread the word). If a simple Google search can answer the question, throw out the assignment.

6 Ways Students Can Collaborate With iPads

This site has a lot of articles to read about various topics connected to technology in the classroom. Everything from specific apps/sites to use to the affects of texting slang in the classroom. Pretty interesting. A good site for multiple resources related to one thing.

"Device Loans - we make short-term equipment (not financial) loans of up to 30 days to allow consumers and professionals try out and evaluate AT devices." A good thing is not only that the VT agency is a resource but also you can in fact borrow equipment!

This article is a must read for me because it contains so many resources in one blog. I also like blogs because they come from real people, like teachers, who are actually living and working with these apps everyday. I relate well to Bloom's Taxonomy and I like the comparisons the blogger makes between apps and Blooms. Its a great tool to keep as a reference. If we really want to be transforming learning with mobile tools this is a great way to start thinking about it in the simplest of ways.

Ed Tech and Mobile Learning offers articles, links, and collections of resources for teachers who want to get the most out of online learning opps and mobile apps.

"Published by Eric Sailers *Disclosure: I co-created ArtikPix, PhonoPix and Percentally apps. Large list of apps for ed including special ed. This is a list of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps for education and special education. Each app in the list..." I think it would take some time to really review all of these, but good to have as a resource!

This article is a call to action for considering the vast resources in iTunes U. There is also a good link to itWeekly which includes podcasts on lesson ideas ranging from geotagging to eportofolios. I've have very little experience exploring and working with iTunes U. I plan to explore further.

The start of a conversation about teaching and learning with mobile tools.

I do think of my phone as more of an output device than the tablet or pc. Now It is becoming a bit more of an "input also" device!
