A Dead-Simple App For Drawing Cartoon GIFs. Do you remember Paper?
A lot of drawing apps had come to the iPad before it, but Paper featured tightly curated controls, with a focus on making the most important aspects of drawing perfect (and just as many automated). If you do know Paper, maybe you’ll understand this statement: Loop is like Paper for animation. So now, you may be wondering, what is Loop? Loop is an iPad app by Universal Everything--the animation studio you might know best for arting Coldplay concerts and Samsung installations. As mentioned above, it’s animation software that’s incredibly, intentionally limited. Typed out, that feature set might sound like a lot. Interestingly enough, though, Loop wasn’t originally made for me or for you. “As our studios output has developed over the years, it has become further detached from the humanist analog qualities of the drawn line.
Word Clouds on the iPad. I love word clouds.
It is the best way to deconstruct a piece of text with students. It lets you start that conversation about language, text types, literacy and the power of the written word.

Manelrives : #NowPlaying SkyWorld by Two... An iPad for every student? - Beloit Daily News: News. The Beloit School District Board of Education is expected to vote Tuesday at a 5:15 p.m. special meeting on whether to implement a 3-year program designed to put an Apple iPad tablet computer in the hands of each student in the district.
Currently, there are about 600 iPads in the district for students to use, according to Beloit School District Assistant Superintendent Lynee Tourdot. The program titled Beloit Ignite would cost $3.5 to $4 million over the three or four years it takes to launch the program. District officials claim the plan could save the schools at least $2.25 million over the same time period because of savings in copier, textbook, paper, and technology support. There is also the potential to resell the iPads once they become outdated. And because computer labs may one day be phased out as part of growing trends in technology, the district suggests savings could be even greater in the long run.
“Beloit Ignite is a direct response to the needs of 21st century learners. SmartMusic para iPad en la App Store de iTunes.

Adobe Shows Off Lightroom-Style Photo Editing for iPad. CNET reports on a sneak peek from Adobe product manager Tom Hogarty showing off the company's concept for Lightroom-style photo editing on the iPad. The app would rely on cloud-based connections to serve as a companion app to the full Lightroom software, but offer a number of higher-end features for on-the-go photo editing. He wouldn't promise when the app would ship or what exactly it would do, but he did demonstrate some features of the prototype software running on an iPad 2. He also offered several details about its features: - The ability to edit photos taken in raw photo formats, including Lightroom develop-module parameters like exposure, clarity, shadows, highlights, and white balance. - Cloud-synchronized editing so that changes made on a tablet arrive on the same photo on the PC. - The ability to zoom all the way to 100 percent for checking photo focus and details.

Adi?s al papel: Tomar apuntes manuscritos y hacer ejercicios en el iPad. Cuando empecé a usar el iPad a diario, hice el propósito de dejar de escribir notas en libretas de papel. No tanto para proteger el medio ambiente (si tengo que ser sincera), pero más bien tendía a pasar largos minutos, y a veces días, para encontrar mis ideas escritas entre una pila de documentos. Además a menudo la hoja me quedaba pequeña y añadía letra apretada en los márgenes que se volvía incomprensible con los días.
También en ocasiones me invadía un escalofrío cuando me imaginaba que perdía una libreta, o casi derramaba mi taza de té por encima. A largo plazo me haría más productiva pero a corto plazo había de cambiar de hábitos y requería un esfuerzo.
