Results from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt’s year-long study comparing students using the publisher’s iPad algebra app are in from Amelia Earhart school in Riverside, Calif., and it’s largely positive, according to the company.This app has seen a lot of use on courses recently, Apple Teacher Institute for one... easy to use and a lot of fun it allows you to animate any face where you define its eyes, nose, mouth and face size/shape. From there you can record audio and the face will lipsync to the audio that you record. In addition, it has 'emotion' buttons allowing you to add a lot more in terms of interpretation and expression as you record. Superficially this app is immediately engaging - but depending on how its used can be used for language work, history (bringing people from history to life......) drama, literacy, interject this with Puppet Pals (where you use Morfo for your close up dialogue) and iMovie to edit your scenes together and it takes it all to another level.

[ Reprinted by author from www.sageonstage.com ] To this day I remain a big fan of the overhead projector. I truly believe it was more effective a tool for teaching than the projected Powerpoint slides will ever be. I stood facing the students, watching their expressions, which I could see since the lights were sufficiently bright. I could draw on the screen and change directions as questions arose.
