Going Paperless With These 3 iPad & iPhone Handwriting Apps

Last year I wrote about a few useful handwriting iPad apps for note taking and drawing. Since then other similar apps have been developed that are just as stylish, but contain a few unique features or approaches you might might want to consider if you’re looking for such a writing tool. Let’s face it, if you have an iPad there’s probably less and less need for using pen and paper these days. I would rather grab my iPad and jot down a few notes than do so on scraps of paper that clutter up my desk or get misplaced. Inkflow Inkflow is one of the newest writing apps to hit the iTunes App Store. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/going-paperless-with-these-3-ipad-iphone-handwriting-apps/

They are teaching skills and assessing student learning in a more dynamic way. Many of our classrooms are flipped; project-based learning and assessments are being integrated more prevalently; and students are engaged in relevant, purposeful learning experiences.
A portfolio is a storehouse for projects, writing pieces, art, and performances. It can be used by students, teachers, and parents to document what they’re doing (either day-to-day things or through their best work or improvements they’ve made). I see portfolios as a way to hold onto and think about what you’re doing.

Sure, I could respond, sharing anecdotes about what I believed to be engaging, but I thought it would be so much better to lob that question to my own eighth graders. The responses I received from all 220 of them seemed to fall under 10 categories, representing reoccurring themes that appeared again and again. So, from the mouths of babes, here are my students' answers to the question: "What engages students?" http://www.scoop.it/t/learning-technology/p/1762928813/apps-and-ideas-for-literature-circles-on-ipads-the-journal

50 resources for iPad use in the classroom | ZDNet | Teaching with Tablets

We have had a lot of discussions this year with parents about how they can monitor there child's iPad usage and keep tabs on their activity. The video above takes a quick look at how parents can set restrictions for a variety of resources on the iPad. During one recent discussion with a parent who wanted to keep games off of his child's iPad, I was told that the student was adamant that he needed the ability to add apps during the school day in case any of his teachers requested them to upload something. So instead of restricting the App Store, the parent restricted the student's ability to delete apps. That was a great solution in my mind, allowing the student the access he needed in school and then also being able to see what apps were added and having a conversation about this.
