iPhone/iPod touch Apps for K-12
I resisted the purchase for a few days but finally realized I needed to get my hands on one myself. I needed to evaluate it as another tool for education, another tool that possibly promotes Universal Design for Learning (provide multiple methods of engagement, presentation and expression). I needed to evaluate it FOR MYSELF. With the students in mind. My initial observations lead me to believe this is TRANSFORMATIVE.

Blogs - DAILY INSIGHT: Top 10 things NOT to do in a 1:1 iPad Initiative, Part 1
By Carl Hooker, CIO Advisor Part of the benefit of jumping forward with a 1:1 iPad deployment like we have tried is that we get the opportunity to impart knowledge to other districts looking to do a similar initiative. While that might not seem like a benefit, it actually also means we can make some mistakes because there is not a long history of this type of deployment in the world. Many districts have had 1:1 laptop projects, which we have benefitted from and could easily be applied to this list I’m about to share. However, for the sake of our specific district and the questions I get from other districts on a daily basis, I’m going to break down the 10 things you SHOULD NOT do when implementing a 1:1 iPad program.

I've never worked on a Mac. I don't even own an iPhone. But one night four months ago, I borrowed an iPad from our Technology Department to see what all the fuss was about. As a baseball coach and sponsor of our school's broadcasting club, I thought the iPad might be useful for video analysis and editing.Apple recently introduced the Volume Purchasing Program for apps in the App Store. This is a significant change in how apps were handled in the past, and we will be instituting the new purchasing rules for our iPod touch and iPad cart deployments. The process is a little confusing, but we have developed a system that should make it a bit smoother for all of us. Unfortunately, it will be slower than what we have done in the past as it includes a card-by-mail-with-scratch-off process. We believe that we have, however, figured out a way to make it work at all buildings.

Math scores rise with use of iPad algebra curriculum
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH) today announced the results of a yearlong pilot of HMH Fuse: Algebra I , the full-curriculum algebra app developed for the Apple iPad, involving the Amelia Earhart Middle School in California's Riverside Unified School District.

The first assessment of the pilot— Riverside's district algebra benchmark –took place during the second trimester of the 2010–2011 year.Internet Safety
