Blooms Taxonomy with Apps. Bloom iPads Apps. Initial iPad Class Set-up. A Nice Guide to iPad App Evaluation. 15 Popular EdTech Tools Being Used Around The World. During the past month, Katie and I have been working our tails off to make the upcoming September issue of the Edudemic Magazine for iPad (comes out tomorrow!)

The key aspect of an eportfolio is your reflection on the evidence, such as why it was chosen and what you learned from the process of developing your eportfolio.
