"A great way to engage students in productive literacy practices is to provide them with the tools and opportunities to help them compose and narrate stories through the use of  a mixture of multimedia materials that include pictures, text, audio, and video. Besides enhancing their writing skills, this form of composition helps them express themselves multimodally and develop complex ways  of communicating their ideas. In the list below, we are sharing with you a sampler of some of the best apps students can use on their iPads to create beautiful story books. Most of these apps are ideal for all grades from elementary to high school."

MPT has great resources for students. Some are interactive. The 8th graders like these. I use these as an activating strategy.

I found this article very interesting. I know when I was in high school there was a lot of goofing around and behavior problems on the bus to and from school. I think that having internet access on the bus would really decrease these problems. Some students spend a lot of wasted time on the bus to and from school and this is a way to make this time productive. Students would be able to work on homework and do research. I also thought that having this option for sports teams to use was great. Imagine being a coach and giving your players access to the internet in between games, or on the long bus trips to the tournament.

Postica is the fastest and easiet way to create distribute your notes, reminders and files.

Time saver if you are like me and are continually leaving your self notes and emails and voice messages, this may be something that could help you too.
