    Not sure this was exactly a reading we had to do, or a website that was assigned, but I did stumble on this large heap of a useful website while doing an early assignment. Some great app recommendations in there.

Bloom's Taxonomy and iPad Apps | Langwitches Blog - 0 views

  •  
    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.

This feature enables users What distinguishes Blekko 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.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.

The Use and Abuse of Technology in the Classroom - 0 views

      I don't agree with this 100%. I for example, I have sloppy handwriting, but for some reason it is much better on an electronic device than on paper. I can use a lighter touch, my hand doesn't get cramped as easily, and it is just a more pleasant experience. I think some kids have the same issues as I do, and giving them a more pleasurable way to express their ideas can be beneficial.
