iPad Classroom: Exploring Educational iPad Apps. App Learning Tasks By Brad Wilson www.21innovate.com. Ipadcentral.wikispaces.
Bloom’s Taxonomy of apps. How to integrate Bloom’s Taxonomy of apps into the classroom: Bloom’s Taxonomy is by no means the best or only way to categorize websites, apps or other educational tools. However, I often find that for my purposes, it is a really nice way to organize tools so that I can find them later. It also keeps me (and my students) thinking about the learning process and keeps us all from getting stuck in a one-type-of-learning rut. Bloom’s is also extraordinarily handy for categorizing apps that don’t fit neatly into a subject matter or that fall into several different subject categories. In the apps, I have given you a little guide. If an app cost money, I’ve added a $$ on the app. The others are free. Keep the guide of apps handy for those parents who ask for your best app recommendations! Please leave a comment and share how you are using Bloom’s Taxonomy of Apps in your classroom!

The Week in iOS Apps: We can be heroes. This week’s roundup of apps is all about making stuff—movies, pictures, games, and even a better living room. What can’t your iOS device do? Already this week, Macworld told you about Read It Later’s reinvention as Pocket, an app that lets you save online multimedia for later viewing. The popular Draw Something app was updated with new features, including an in-game chat option, the ability to share your drawings, and an undo feature. Dan Moren brought you news of minor updates to iBooks and Cards. And of course we offered app guides for users interested in The Avengers—including the new Stan Lee-narrated apps Avengers Origins: Assemble! And Avengers Origins: Hulk—and drawing on their iPads. Also this week, the Runmeter exercise app was updated with iCloud data storage and a wider variety of included fitness plans. Other new and updated apps that caught our eye this week: MagicPlan: Of course, iPhones and iPads can help you do more than read great books and make cool movies.

Ipadcentral.wikispaces. iPad productivity apps. I’m very invested in the iPad as a laptop replacement, and I endeavour to make it my main machine when I’m away from my desk (at which I currently use an iMac).
I travel regularly, often to speak at events, and I try to embrace simplicity and to work away from my office as much as I can. To that end, I’ve compiled a list of my essential iPad applications for productivity, that I use regularly when: Planning and thinking about projects (in my case, often software).Writing (for this blog, for Tap! Magazine, and others).Creating documentation and reports (for clients, based on my User Experience and Accessibility consulting services).Creating and refining presentations for my speaking engagements. Since I have my iPhone with me at all times, I try to keep only essential “big screen” apps on my iPad.
Home screen (Incidentally, I’ve been asked a few times where I got my wallpaper: it’s one of the default ones included with iOS 5.) Essentials Browsing I use Safari. Email Twitter Tweetbot Feeds Reeder.
