Finally! I am so pumped about this session and apparently, so many others are as well. This room is PACKED!! The presenters are from Todd County schools is Western Kentucky. Currently, the presentation room has become the classroom--the "students" are trying to access the free Wi-Fi with the available iPod Touch gadgets. Todd County is a part of the Project 21 C--I will be researching a bit more about that, but for now--listening and learning.
QuickieQ--$20 a year! What a deal!! And to top that, created by a Kentuckian!!
Project 21c
Interesting--engaging--new and different--something to think about. How could HC use/implement iPod Touches in our classrooms?
Lots of ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 5 apps: Elementary
1. Math quizzer--great rapid recall for basic math facts.
2. Doodle Buddy--partner app with another iPod Touch user. What is written on one screen can be seen on the other screen. Great for kids quizzing eachother.
3. Number Line--decimal, fractions, and percents practice.
4. Basic Math--math app. Presents students with math problems--time factor and helpful hints/instruction for students.
5. TeachMe--lower elementary. Used to keep track/progress of the student.
Middle/High:
1. QuickieQ
2. Evernote--information can be pushed out to students and students can send it back.
3. Drop Box--kids can access what you want them to see/have.
4. AirMouse--just like an airliner. $$ (touchmouse is the free version)
5. Keynote--MAC version of PowerPoint that can be run from the iTouch/iPod.
6. Great Books--tons of stories $$
7. Simpleminds--mind mapping tool/brainstorming
8. Khan Academy--math links including videos
9. Pi 3 math--math
I can't wait to download these Apps and learn how we can use them in classrooms!!
