iPads have exploded throughout schools and classrooms. Their flexibility, versatility, and mobility make them a phenomenal learning tool. As teachers seek ways to integrate these devices, we recommend focusing on specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments. Below, you will find a list of objectives, each one connecting to recommended apps and tools.
I am so excited for a new Mac app called Reflection! It shows my iPad's screen live on my computer screen wirelessly!
uquery.com is a new search engine focused on the emerging market of iPhone & iPod Touch applications. We have listened to many requests of the community and the frustration of being able to search and find applications on the iTunes AppStore. With 263,907 applications available on the AppStore, it has become tremendously difficult to find the right application.
Our goal is to index and offer a very fast and easy way to find the application that you need. Utilizing new indexing technologies we have created a huge index of all the applications currently available in the United States iTunes AppStore. With features like: filtering by price, date and category and a full-text index of the application description, we allow all iPhone & iPod users to quickly improve their app discovery experience.
A nice wiki of ipad apps suggestions and reviews for all levels and subjects. Nice place to start with ipads in education.
"Here, we’ve rounded up ten useful ways to be faster and more productive with your iPhone’s keyboard. We hope these tricks are handy for anyone new to the platform, or those who have not had the time to really experiment."
"We went through the whole lot of free apps available for iPad (so you don’t have to) and selected the best 46 apps that are worth checking out. So have a look and please comment if you know any more that we miss in the list. "
Basically, its a "youtube" for children's ebooks, but all for free. You can even create books, send them books to digitize (free), upload ebooks and download. Very cool.
"We welcome you to our wiki and blog for supporting iPod & iPad devices in education. Although our focus is K-12, many of the techniques should work for you at any level and with any number of devices. On the wiki side of this site are the deployment and management articles, and on the blog side, you will find the classroom activities (written primarily by teachers) where iPods are supporting achievement improvement for our students. We are posting as many help and how-to articles here as we can and as quickly as we can so you can continue to be successful using iPod devices in your classroom. Please let us know if there are more or different things that you would like to have included here.

"This is a list of iPhone and iPod touch apps for education and special education. Each app in the list includes a one sentence description by the author.
The app descriptions were based on App Store descriptions and personal trials. The author did not personally trial every app. Promo codes were provided for iPrompts and My Friend Isabelle.
The app descriptions provide some information regarding iPhone and iPod touch compatibility. To adequately determine device compatibility, carefully read the app's description and requirements on the App Store. "
"Discover how the iPod touch can be used to improve student learning both in the classroom and “on the go”. During this hands-on workshop, participants will explore how the iPod touch can be used as a classroom tool to create engaging and differentiating cross-curricular activities."
Teachers have one of the most difficult jobs out there. As an educator, you have to manage a classroom of boisterous students, organize heaps of data, stay up–to–date with current events and plan lessons day in and day out. In today’s technologically linked world, the ability to use web applications is at your advantage as an educator, and we are here to tell you the best tools to use. Here is a collection of 100 web and iPhone applications that make the grade for tech–savvy teachers:
How do you educate a generation of students eternally distracted by the internet, cellphones and video games? Easy. You enable them by handing out free iPhones — and then integrating the gadget into your curriculum.
"Do you want to use more than one iPod with the same computer? You can! In fact there are a couple of different ways you can do it."
While introduced as a hard drive based music player in 2001, the iPod has evolved into an essential tool for literacy in the 21st century. The availability of educational content is staggering. There are podcasts on everything from math to history to science to learning a foreign language. There is even a podcast on basket weaving.
What is even more amazing is how easy it is for students and teachers to create their own digital content for the iPod. Students can then guide their own learning at their own pace, and review content on-demand. This idea of anywhere-anytime learning means the student is no longer tethered to the classroom learning environment.
Charge and synchronize content to as many as 20 iPod and iPhone devices from a single iTunes library. This durable, attractive and lightweight docking solution makes managing and sharing large
quantities of devices easier than ever.
In this list we’ve assembled ten of the must-have iPhone applications for students heading back to school. These apps will help you stay organized, take notes, and study better.
Are iPods in the classroom a distraction? Perhaps. Pencils - now those are real distractions - always having to sharpen them, kids throw them, they write inappropriate notes with them, they can use them to cheat, they poke each other with them, they get pencil lead stuck in their fingers, they steal them, etc. I think we should ban 'em. Now, am I trying to convince everyone to run out and buy ipods for all students? No, I'm not. I am suggesting, however, that they're worth exploring. This website will link to general information and educational apps for the ipod
