10 Apps For Inquiry Learning This post will show 10 apps or ways that iPads and iPods become powerful learning tools in an inquiry-based learning environment, tied to sound research by a leading education network, the Galileo Network. They offer up a rubric to determine how well a lesson aligns with the inquiry learning process. According to the rubric, there are 8 dimensions of inquiry: AuthenticityAcademic RigorAssessmentBeyond the SchoolUse of Digital TechnologiesActive ExplorationConnecting with ExpertsElaborated Communication The iPad can easily support any of these dimensions, and I want to share 1o ways that it might do it best. Authenticity 1) Popplet (4.99 or Free) Using popplet students can create media based brain storms and mind maps, organized by colour and size, connected with lines. 2) Blogging (Free) (Blogger+, WordPress, and others) I believe writing is one of the most academically rigorous things that students can do.

14 iPad Apps for Storytelling in the Classroom Storytelling continues to gain popularity as an educational activity as it stimulates a deep thinking process, it provides opportunities for reflection and it enhances and enriches the learning experience for our students.

File storage / Transfer Dropbox Dropbox is probably one of the most useful applications I’ve used in years. Other apps also work with Dropbox too. Word Processing / Office Capability Documents to Go Microsoft have yet to release an Office app for the iPad – so there’s a need to look at alternatives. Note taking
