Spreaker DJ - mix, record & broadcast radio and podcasts Apps educativas organizadas y clasificadas Me ha parecido que puede ser de gran interés para todos aquellos profesores y profesoras que están trabajando con tabletas Ipad y que se pierden en el mar de aplicaciones de la App Store esta clasificación tomada de Langwitch que las organiza en función de determinadas taxonomías y objetivos educativos. Son imágenes, así que no permiten hacer clic para abrir cada una de las aplicaciones, sino que se debe escribir su nombre en un navegador o en la App Store para obtenerlas. Aunque esta clasificación es para Ipad, muchas de las aplicaciones también están disponibles para Android o habrá otras similares para trabajar el objetivo propuesto en la clasificación.
iPads Making assessment meaningful After spending two hours a day this week watching seventh graders fill in bubbles on our state's standardized test, I am finding myself thinking about assessment. Specifically, I am thinking about the many ways the iPad has enriched and strengthened our daily assessment practices -- and the value I see in authentic, embedded, process-rich assessment that informs and improves instruction. Technology like the iPad offers incredible ways to gather meaningful data that shows student thinking and creates a rich and detailed picture of learning. The iPad makes new assessment practices possible. As I explained in an earlier post, the camera also adds a new layer to the assessment process. Using tools such as Google Forms allows for an additional method of embedded, just-in-time assessment. Other web 2.0 tools can help teachers gather critical assessment data.

People with autism offered iPad grants » Local News » Press-Republican PLATTSBURGH — The Autism Alliance of Northeastern New York will purchase a number of iPads for local individuals with an autism spectrum disorder. The decisions will be made at the discretion of its Grant Committee, but preference will include those who would most benefit from an iPad. All grants will be reviewed by the Board of Directors. To be eligible, individuals must: ▶ Have a diagnosis (medical or educational) of an autism spectrum disorder; include supporting documentation. ▶ Have significant communication impairment. ▶ Live in Clinton, Essex or Franklin counties. ▶ Have access to Internet and an iTunes account or be able to create one. ▶ Have a justification for an iPad from a professional who is currently working with the applicant (speech-language pathologist, teacher, counselor, autism consultant, direct-care staff, etc); include justification. ▶ Have limited access to funds for an iPad. All recipients will receive an iPad2, a sturdy case and a $50 iTunes credit.
#Evernote as an E-Portfolio One of the things I'm doing with Evernote this year is having students use it as a way to store all of their work in class. I am slowly rolling it out this year because I'm asking my students to learn many different tools and I do not want to overwhelm them. I chose my Freshmen to try the full E-Portfolio idea because I only have one class of them and it is a small class. I had each student create their Evernote Account. By following these steps, I have access to all of their work stored in their e-portfolio. The other day, I sat down and looked through their work and I wanted to leave comments. I'm really excited to see where this can take me. I will keep you all posted on using Evernote in the classroom! Email me if you have any questions.

Teaching Large Classes with an iPad » To this day I remain a big fan of the overhead projector. I truly believe it was more effective a tool for teaching than the projected Powerpoint slides will ever be. I stood facing the students, watching their expressions, which I could see since the lights were sufficiently bright. It’s been downhill ever since, …until this semester. This semester I’ve purchased an iPad2 and a software application called SplashTop Remote Desktop. To reach this new level of teaching nirvana I have found at least two routes (so far): The first requires that I simply bring my laptop (as I always did anyway) to class along with whatever cables/dongles needed to connect the laptop to the projection system, and my iPad.The second does not require the laptop but does require an AppleTV + whatever it takes to connect that to the projector. In both cases you could use the resulting system to present with KeyNote® but that would be so 90′s. Google+ Like this: Like Loading...
Desoto Times Tribune > Archives > News > Local > Autism efforts ring happy note Dr. Shelia Williamson with the DeSoto County School District said children with autism don't often respond well in social situations in which there is a great deal of noise and excitement. A low-key, anxiety-free visit with the jolly old elf in familiar surroundings has proven to be a happy holiday occasion for the past several years at Pleasant Hill Elementary School in Olive Branch. "Cookies with Santa" has become a smashing success, according to Williamson. "A few years ago we realized going to see Santa at the mall and waiting in line with a bunch of children was too overwhelming," Williamson said. Bold Initiative executive director Wayne Bartley said arts camp volunteers from Longview Heights Baptist Church in Olive Branch volunteered their time to be Santa's helpers. Bold Initiative is a non-profit organization under the auspices of the Community Foundation of Northwest Mississippi which provides opportunities for children and young adults with autism, according to Bartley.
Back to School App-pack The image above was created using PhotoshopTouch on an iPad and was then uploaded to Thinglink to create the hotspots. The summer is quickly winding down & a number of teachers will be returning to their classroom with new mobile devices (iPads). Throughout the summer I have been conducting workshops on iPad integration with EdTechTeacher and I thought it might be helpful to pull together a back to school list of apps structured around specific classroom goals. While many schools may already have an Apple VPP program already in place, I know a number of teachers will also be purchasing the apps themselves. Therefore, I will do my best to include both a pay & free app for each objective. I want my students to create & publish video: iMovie (4.99) - record, edit and publish movies directly to the web from iMovie. I want my students to respond to polls / take quizzes: Reflection (Mac / PC download - $15) - Wirelessly mirror an iPad to a MacBook or PC.
