APPS You'll See Today, and Links to App Store
Doceri Doceri is a free Whiteboard app for your iPad that can also be paired with a paid app on your computer allowing the iPad to drive the computer remotely! Students use Doceri as a whiteboard to show and record their work. Photos can be importate, voice annotation can be recorded, and animation can also be created for later use. Edmodo Social Networking for kids? Kind of. But really more like a Learning Network. Use Edmodo to set up a safe and secure online learning site where they can have discussions, share work, and access assignments like quizzes and more. Educreations Educreations, much like Doceri, is an easy to use Whiteboard App. Although it doesn't allow for remote access to your computer or for presentations to be saved, it still serves as a powerful tool for student creativity and work. Google Drive Cloud Collaboration is easy with Google Drive. Students can create, edit, and share documents and spreadsheets while on the iPad. They can also upload and save images, but there is some limitation compared to the computer version. Presentations, for example, cannot be created on an iPad. Hopscotch Have you ever heard a student ask, "When we are done our work can we practice coding?" With Hopscotch the answer is YES! iMovie The iPad allows you to create video directly on the device, and with iMovie you can edit and produce high quality feature films. Or simple movie trailers. Scan - QR Code Reader Quick and easy QR Code Scanner for sharing links, files, and more. |
