Easy Assessment App
Posted on December 18, 2011 by mrrobbo As you will all be aware I have a major interest, some might say obsession with mobile applications. However one thing that has been lacking is an app that could replace/improve the assessment process that I currently use with my students. Well that was my intention behind the development of the Easy Assessment app, which I am happy to say was released on the iTunes store over the weekend. Download Easy Assessment from the iTunes Store Top features within the app include the capacity to sync all assessment data including a spreadsheet of results, videos and photos to your personal Dropbox.com account.

Phonics Studio
I was looking at free app notifications - nothing was getting me excited and I thought, why do I keep saving Phonics Studio? I need to share this app! We've done GFAOTD features on a number of offerings from Grasshopper Apps because they're high quality, free and customizable. This one is certainly no exception. If you have a child who is learning phonics, how sounds blend or needs articulation practice, this is a must-download. It comes with over 2,500 gorgeous, high-quality flashcards. *That last statement isn't actually true. I'd say 'Holy Crud, I can't believe this is free' but Ron's got that trademarked. ** Only the app's developer can control when an app is free or not.

This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place.Each image has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for iPad, Android, Google and online tools and applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.I have created a page to allow you to share your favorite online tool, iOS, or Android app with others. Cogs of the Cognitive Processes I began to think about the triangular shape of Bloom's Taxonomy and realized I thought of it a bit differently.Since the cognitive processes are meant to be used when necessary, and any learner goes in and out of the each level as they acquire new content and turn it into knowledge, I created a different type of image that showcased my thoughts about Bloom's more meaningfully.Here is my visual which showcases the interlocking nature of the cognitive processes or, simply, the "Cogs of the Cognitive Processes".
