I-Pad Apps for Schools

There is a wonderful new resource that reviews educational I-Pad Apps.
http://ipadapps4school.com

This new blog will feature reviews of iOS apps (both free and paid) as well as some occasional bits of how-to and advice on using iPads in education.  Richard Byrne has created an index on his site and categorized the resources by grade level. I personally love the time this will save busy educators when they are searching for an appropriate resource.

Vizaroo- Student response from any Internet device










Vizaroo is a new FREE service.  The idea behind Vizaroo is to use the web to collect instant feedback from students in your classroom. Audience response systems like Vizaroo or e-Insturction clickers can increase student engagement through active participation.  Vizaroo allows students on ANY internet connected device, such as a smartphone or a laptop, to share their thoughts for the whole class to see. Ideas are displayed instantaneously from the device that connects to the Internet.

Student feedback can be displayed in a web format of connected ideas, a Venn diagram format, or in a simple "yes or no" two column format.
