Looks like a wonderful resource for the ipad classroom.

Excellent website about current events. Has streamed video and teaching notes based on the new bloom's taxonomy, with links to more useful websites.

"Playing interactive musical games on the web could be a stepping stone to find out if your child has an ability for music. If the enthusiasm to learn about music is there, deciding on a more specific musical education becomes easy. Leaving aside all these serious thoughts on musical education, let's also note that music is great fun. In tune or out of it, it is a way of self expression. Play on these ten interactive learning websites that feature fun and games with music."

Finding spelling lists making you and your students want to top themselves, this is both creative and subtly clever.

very nice!

"A school leader is always on the go. She needs to stay connected, have access to existing digital media, create new media, collaborate, and communicate. An iPad is a great tool that allows users to have their email, calendar, communication tools, newsfeeds, presentations, teacher/student interaction documentation, and notes all on one small device! The number of apps can be overwhelming, so I always suggest having your main productivity apps on the first screen. Move your secondary, less important, and entertainment apps to a separate screen. Let's create a digital backpack with your iPad."

for those ipad teachers out there

The story behind it.

"Assessment of how students meet these goals is done by the students themselves, as for each piece they publish they write a reflection where they identify and explain aspects of their piece that show the following: -evidence of themselves as thinkers -evidence of using revision to improve their writing -evidence of how they worked through challenges I love using this method as a way to assess my students' writing, which I was introduced to last summer at the UNC Charlotte Writing Project. It focuses students attention on their own process, encourages them to try new ideas and approaches, respects their diversity, and guides students in being better able to talk about their own thinking and learning. Up until today, I've been having my students complete this reflective/metacognitive assignment by responding to these directions on their own sheet of paper, which they then would turn in to me. But this morning while I was preparing my class for the day, it occurred to me that Diigo's web highlighter and sticky note tools would allow students to carry out that same assignment without paper. In addition, it would also take students less time to complete, let others read the reflections they wrote, and make it easier for me to access and assess their work. "

like wallwisher, good to have a play with it and see if it is improved on it.

Like wallwisher, will play and see if it is an improvement

Yes it is, any amount of text, resizable post its! can be embeded in weebly! /glogster ? maybe

I do see that it can be used to easily create Internet Scavenger Hunts and Webquests. It lets you create a "molecule" filled with "atoms" (the call each topic a molecule and atoms the different parts of the collection). You can insert a website and notes into each molecule, which will also show a screenshot or even a video. The task for each can also be described. And it's easy to move the "molecules" around. And, then, best of all, you can embed your whole "molecule" wherever you want, including on a class blog or website.

Evernote. I know, you must be getting tired of me writing about Evernote. I can't help it. It is an incredibly useful, easy to use, and once you start you have no idea how you lived without it, free resource that I use for literally everything. Evernote has apps for mobile devices, desktop software, and you can access your notes through any web browser.
