Ask 3 Before Me is a management strategy that many teachers use in their classrooms to help students develop collaborative skills.
In this strategy, when a student gets stuck on figuring out an answer or needs help, instead of immediately going to the teacher, students are encouraged to ask three other students for assistance first. That’s the premise of the new Ask3 app for iPad recently released by TechSmith. Both teachers and students can create videos using drawing tools and images making this a great tool for collaboration and learning. After downloading the app, teachers and students both need to sign up. One of the best things about the student sign up is that no email address is required. All members of the class will see three things after signing in: Create, Bulletin Board and Class.
Ask3 as a Teaching Tool Once a video is on the Bulletin Board all class members will be able to view it and comment via text or video. Google Docs Rocks! - Google Drive. New NASA app brings spacecraft to life in 3D. NASA is no stranger to 3D.
It has done some impressive CGI trips into galaxies and nebulae, and of course it has offered some stunning 3D images from the Mars spacecraft. NASA has just released a free iPad and iPhone app called Spacecraft 3D. Here's how it works. You launch the app and then print out a target that you put on your desk or a table. The target allows the app to construct a spacecraft that you can see in three dimensions as your walk around it or change your elevation.
"Let's say you want to get an idea what our Curiosity Mars rover is all about," said Kevin Hussey, manager of visualization technology at JPL. "In the near future, we will incorporate the Cassini spacecraft, which is orbiting Saturn, the Dawn spacecraft, which is deep in the heart of the asteroid belt, and the Voyagers, which are right now at the very edge of our solar system," said Hussey. The app works as advertised. Scribble Press: Imagine Create Publish. Learn About Science With Bill Nye on the Bill Nye iPad App. Kids love learning about science with Bill Nye The Science Guy.
