30 iPad Apps for Music Teachers. February, 2014 I just noticed that it has been a year since my last list of iPad apps for teaching music. Several new interesting music apps have seen the light since then and therefore I decided to create another more comprehensive list of some of the best iPad apps for teaching music to give music teachers more options to choose from. 1- Garage Band GarageBand turns your iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch into a collection of Touch Instruments and a full-featured recording studio — so you can make music anywhere you go.

I love to watch how quickly even very young students can produce a professional looking movie. It is a great way for them to illustrate what they have learnt. Normally I would say that editing movies on the iPad is best done using iMovie but it is not exactly cheap, especially if you have a raft of other apps you want your students to have. Here are a couple of apps for editing movies that do not cost the earth.
Many of these apps also contain features found on the more expensive apps. Magistro: FREE Magisto is a fun and easy way to automatically edit videos and photos and share them with your friends and family.

Apple design veteran launches Storehouse, an iPad app for creating beautiful photo and video stories. Apple’s former user experience evangelist and UI designer Mark Kawano has launched Storehouse, an impressive iPad app that lets you quickly lay out and publish photo, video and text as shareable stories. Kawano’s design and UX credentials, which include iPhoto, Aperture and Photoshop, are evident in Storehouse. The app is minimalist, intuitive and relies heavily on gestures.
Storehouse is full of the kinds of little details that make an app feel polished. When looking at the cover video for a post, for instance, it will keep playing even while you pinch, twirl and throw it. Once you’ve signed up on the app, you can browse other users’ stories or create your own. Storehouse doesn’t include a lot of formatting options.
When you hit publish, the story goes out on Storehouse’s own network and you can share a responsive Web version to Facebook and Twitter. I threw together a couple of sample stories on Storehouse and was really happy with the results. . ➤ Storehouse for iPad. iStopMotion for iPad para iPhone, iPod touch y iPad en el App Store de iTunes.

La semana pasada me afrontaba al reto de inventar, junto con mi hijo, una historia en donde él fuera el protagonista e ilustrar el relato con fotografías, enganchando la creación final en un álbum de papel.
El proyecto presentaba la oportunidad de dejar volar la imaginación y por supuesto aprovechar algún recurso TIC. Nos decidimos a crear nuestro propio cómic en formato digital. Siempre asociamos el cómic como un medio de comunicación divertido y muy creativo y por tanto puede aprovecharse para que los alumnos de cualquier edad aprendan un tema a través de su explicación en viñetas. La elaboración de un cómic requiere no sólo del conocimiento de la historia que queremos transmitir, sino que además se han de trabajar otras interesantes destrezas: el razonamiento en forma de secuencia, la narrativa gráfica con concatenación de ilustraciones, el dominio de la informática, la comunicación escrita y el diseño artístico. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

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. Loop allows you to draw in just three colors (red, black, and blue), duplicate or trace a previous frame, and import a movie as a stencil if you need one. When you’re done drawing your frames, hit “play” to preview. Typed out, that feature set might sound like a lot. Interestingly enough, though, Loop wasn’t originally made for me or for you.

It lets you start that conversation about language, text types, literacy and the power of the written word. It is also a great way to do a text analysis. Marco Torres talks about using them to compare two political speeches to analyse the types of words each of the candidates use but this idea would work just as easily with characters in a book, types of poems or even a series of artists you are studying.

Wonderful Visual Guide to Keep Students On Task while Using iPad Apps.
One of the daunting challenges facing teachers using digital media in the classroom is keeping students on task. Students are easily distracted and unless the learning tasks really appeal to their interests, chances are their engagement would only be momentary and would very soon fade away. For instance, how many times you have to tell your students to keep their fingers away from those gaming apps while they are working on a certain task. No matter what you say they always find their way to entertainment. However, there are certain things that are very easy to do and can help you a lot in getting your students engaged in the learning task at hand while using iPad. One way to do this is to keep your students on task and on the right app. Primary Possibilities designed this awesome visual guide that walks you through the process of locking your students into the app you are working with them on.

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.
