This might include producing a video, authoring a digital book, recording a puppet show, creating a college, narrating a slideshow, designing a comic book, or somehow making your own media and study aids. Yes, there are loads of drill and skill apps, digital books, and electronic response systems that can be very useful in classrooms. Albert Einstein’s said, “You do not really understand something unless you can explain it to your grandmother.” It’s powerful to process and prioritize what you’re learning and turn it into something to teach others.

The categories we have included are : websites for language arts teachers, websites for math teachers, websites for science teachers, websites for physics teachers, websites for history teachers, websites for social studies teachers, websites for arts teachers, and websites for music teachers.

15 More Apps To Create Books On The iPad Creating books on the iPad doesn’t seem like the first thing you might do with one of the popular little tablets, but it’s really quite capable of doing so provided you’re not trying to write the next great novel. We’ve written about 3 apps to reate books on the iPad in the past, but the following listly by Meg Wilson goes further, including 15 apps to do so. The artful collision of technology, learning, and literacy is an idea promoted in the Common Core Standards, which is likely your rule book if you teach K-12 in an American public school. This is a new age of literacy where students can read, research, write, publish, and socialize on the same device sitting right in their lap with a pinch-and-zoom elegance that somehow makes the whole process seem easier than it really is. And for those of you that rail against both Common Core and the iPad (but obviously not literacy), keep fighting the good fight. 15 Literacy Apps To Create Books On The iPad

PDF-szerkesztésben segít pedagógusoknak a PDFCandy – a PDF-mindenes! – Modern Iskola Sokat böngészem az internetet, így sok mindenbe véletlenül akadok bele. Ezt a weblapot viszont a fejlesztője, az IceCreamApps ajánlotta figyelmembe. Hasznossága egyértelmű, mivel igen sok műveletet lehet elvégezni vele: gyakorlatilag mindent, ami PDF-fel lehetséges. Még egy indok: a pedagógus portfólió írása közben szembesültem azzal, hogy a rendszer mindig mindent csak PDF-ként fogad el. A weblap maga: Alapvető kinézete: A honlapot látva én sem hittem, hogy mindez gördülékenyen és ingyen működik, de tényleg erről van szó! Elsőként a JPG-ből PDF-be konvertálást próbáltam ki. Itt a kiválasztás után egyből be lehet emelni a konvertálni kívánt képeket akár a szokásos megnyitással, akár a húzás-és-ejtés („Drag&Drop”) technikával. Utána kell megnyomni a „Convert 1 file(s)” gombot. Ennyi! A rendszer egyszerűségén felbuzdulva elkezdtem tesztelni a weblapot, de ezidáig nem tudtam „kiakasztani”, illetve hibára kényszeríteni. Jó alakítgatást mindenkinek! írta: TFeri
How To Create An App Library Apps and books are more similar than they might seem. They each diffuse content, provide access to expertise, and allow the cataloging and consolidation of knowledge into accessible forms for learners to study. And while there are important differences—apps can be constantly refreshed new information, while a book is what it is the moment it is published—there are some lessons to be learned with how we collect and categorize books. They’ve moved into the world of formal didactic intent, with examples from Khan Academy, Learnist, Study Egg, and even TED talks moving from interesting bits of stuff to cohesive and logical learning sequences. By adding questions, opportunities for students to revisit questions, social dynamics, and elements of progress tracking and gamification, the gap between a formal learning environment and an app is becoming increasingly narrow, thus the rise of mobile learning pushes and iPad popularity in the classroom.

A tanár appserege | k.o.m.p.o.s.z.t Mutasd az okostelefonodon levő alkalmazásokat és megmondom, ki vagy! Kis túlzással ez a helyzet, hiszen a telefon vagy táblagép lényegét az appok (alkalmazások) adják. Mivel több szem többet lát, ezért megkérdeztem több szemet is arról, hogy pedagógusként milyen alkalmazásokat tartanak a telefonjukon (a táblagéppel ugyanez a helyzet). Nem is akármilyen szemeket, egyenesen sas- és sólyomszem-kategóriás embereket kérdeztem meg. Megesik, hogy egy pedagógus új okostelefont kap és felmerül benne, hogy miként népesítse be eszközét, melyek a legfontosabb alkalmazások. Mire van szükség egy tanári okostelefonon? Miként egy autóban is, bizonyos dolgok nélkülözhetetlenek, mások pedig opcionálisak. Egy pedagógus sz ámára mindenképp ajánlott egy-két felhőalapú tárolóhely, hogy bárhol hozzáférjünk fontos dolgainkhoz és ezzel egyúttal a pendrájvtól is elbúcsúzhatunk (úgyis elveszítjük, otthon hagyjuk, szétesik, kimegy a divatból stb.)
