[elearning] iPad Apps & 1:1

[Andrew Shortell]

hi All

I have been looking at iPad apps (& Looking and looking ...)

I have also seen a number of lists from other schools.

it is certainly a real task to try to decide what to recommend to students ( and staff)

One of the helpful things is to recommend some games to students and staff - different for each group and year level!
They enjoy playing and very quickly learn the basics of multi-gestures, "mutli task bar", airplay (i now suffer through music in class though I have banned rap)

I am very happy to share my list - incomplete as it is -  
and I would like to ask you --> what are the must have apps and why...

it is the last question that is hardest to answer!

my must have app (at the moment) is neu annotate plus ($0.99 at the moment)
with this one can write on pdf docs and the notes are saved with the pdf, can be emailed, can be shared

this is great when used with airplay in a classroom as the students can see where you feel a note is good and you can highlight on screen without having to highlight their work for them!


Before I buy any apps I read the reviews and often follow the "other people who bought this also bought.. " links --> I often reorder the reviews to read most critical first. Sometimes the reviews indicate a lack of effort on the part of the reviewers - but is that not the way of all nowadays?


please contribute your lists. I have redone mine as rtf and I have not got around to putting the cute little icons on them as many have done.
I have also att the pdf in case you look at it on your iPad!!
