Google Apps for Education Rocky Mountain Summit #Evernote as an E-Portfolio One of the things I'm doing with Evernote this year is having students use it as a way to store all of their work in class. I am slowly rolling it out this year because I'm asking my students to learn many different tools and I do not want to overwhelm them. I chose my Freshmen to try the full E-Portfolio idea because I only have one class of them and it is a small class. Here is what I set up: I had each student create their Evernote Account. By following these steps, I have access to all of their work stored in their e-portfolio. The other day, I sat down and looked through their work and I wanted to leave comments. I'm really excited to see where this can take me. I will keep you all posted on using Evernote in the classroom! Email me if you have any questions.

Apps educativas organizadas y clasificadas Me ha parecido que puede ser de gran interés para todos aquellos profesores y profesoras que están trabajando con tabletas Ipad y que se pierden en el mar de aplicaciones de la App Store esta clasificación tomada de Langwitch que las organiza en función de determinadas taxonomías y objetivos educativos. Son imágenes, así que no permiten hacer clic para abrir cada una de las aplicaciones, sino que se debe escribir su nombre en un navegador o en la App Store para obtenerlas. Aunque esta clasificación es para Ipad, muchas de las aplicaciones también están disponibles para Android o habrá otras similares para trabajar el objetivo propuesto en la clasificación.

The 20+ Apps To Know About In 2013 Education got a lot more mobile in 2012 as in-school iPad initiatives , the iPhone 5 launch and online learning providers in general made classroom experiences more interesting—and don’t expect to see teaching head back to desktop PC’s in 2013. In fact, as MOOCs and hybrid programs continue to evolve, mobile should have an ever more significant role to play. Looking back at some of 2012′s most significant app launches and updates, Education Dive assembled a list of a few of the best apps on iOS and Android devices that we think educators should know about for 2013. Some of these are already out in the wild, and some are still twinkles in their developers’ eyes. All of 23 of them stand to be important, however, in the new year: 1. Spin is bringing interactive learning into the 21st century—the TogetherLearn mobile app allows online learners to virtually recreate traditional classroom elements. 2. 3. Desire2Learn’s suite of options for its campus apps is always evolving. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
