Bloom’s Taxonomy and iPad Apps | Langwitches Blog

http://langwitches.org/blog/2011/08/21/blooms-taxonomy-and-ipad-apps/ LearningToday shares with everyone two beautiful posters, that help us remember Bloom’s Taxonomy: the Blooming Butterfly and the Blooming Orange . How do we connect the Bloom’s Taxonomy with the iPad? Following in Dave Mileham and Kelly Tenkeley’s footsteps of assigning iPad apps to the different levels of the Bloom’s Taxonomy, I created the following table with apps that I have tested out and am recommending.
Some time ago I posted about iPadio a web service that for years has been a key part of my students’ toolkit. iPadio allows a student to record a podcast (aka “phonecast” or “phlog”) directly to the internet, for free, from an ordinary landline or mobile telephone. In my experience this is a really easy, no-fuss way to get students to publish their learning orally, anywhere, anytime they have a phone at their disposal. <p style="text-align:right;color:#A8A8A8"></p>

Explain Everything - EE Showcase

Insert and Annotate Video The ability to insert a video, live or existing, has probably been the most requested feature we have received since EE was first released. It's also been one of the most challenging things to pull off in a way that makes sense.

Storytelling continues to be a powerful tool in education. Storytelling from a teacher's point of view allows us an insight into the depth of understanding our student have around certain concepts and ideas. It also gives us a privileged view into the world of the kids in our care.

Quite a while ago we did an article on Pages for the iPad and now we’re going to be taking a look at another program from the iWork suite — Keynote . Making high quality presentations are now a large part of many people’s lives, be it for work or school, and most of us will have had some experience that has required us to create and deliver a presentation. As a fan of Keynote on the Mac, I was eager to try out Keynote for the iPad and needless to say, it doesn’t disappoint. Read on for a more in-depth look at Keynote for iPad. Getting Started As with all iPad apps, downloading from the App Store is simple (Keynote costs $9.99, by the way), and within seconds you’ll have the app waiting for you on your home screen.

There is More to iPads in the Classroom Than Apps 

http://langwitches.org/blog/2012/08/07/there-is-more-to-ipads-in-the-classroom-than-apps/ In a previous post, Evaluating Apps with Transformative Use of the iPad in Mind , I describe my ambivalence about teacher asking my for the “perfect” app to teach this or that. I have teachers ask me frequently about app recommendations for different subject areas. “What app could I use to teach subtraction?” “What app would you recommend for my students to practice writing?” “I want to use iPads in my Science class. What app is good for that?”
