New iPad App Helps Children Cope With Internal Bullies - Teachers with Apps
New iPad App Helps Children Cope With Internal Bullies - Teachers with Apps:
"Monkeys in My Head was written and designed for children age four and up, with a message that is equally relevant to parents and adults. The story’s creators have imaginatively personified the self-doubt and fear that holds everyone back from happiness and success. Young readers will particularly appreciate the lively illustrations, simple navigation with large child-sized buttons, and young Pirouette herself narrating the app’s read-aloud option."

Flipping the Classroom, the Nearpod Way | Nearpod
Flipping the Classroom, the Nearpod Way | Nearpod:
"Supported by the tech media and especially by Khan Academy, the concept of “flipping the classroom” has been gaining momentum lately. In short, a “flipped class” is one where the student first reviews the topic by himself (at home or at school), typically using video lessons or some sort of digital learning support, and then classroom time is used to apply the knowledge by solving specific problems and/or doing practical work. The flipped class thus transitions the role of the educator from a “lecturer” to a “tutor” who coaches a student when he/she gets stuck, rather than delivering a traditional one-way lecture."

1. Apple’s Education Resources for the iPad
It should come as no surprise that the iPad’s maker has done a good job of putting together pages dedicated to education related applications and uses for it’s popular tablet.
It should come as no surprise that the iPad’s maker has done a good job of putting together pages dedicated to education related applications and uses for it’s popular tablet.
- http://www.apple.com/education/apps/: Here Apple has put together links to apps grouped by Academic Subject. For each subject section, they provide a few specific app examples, plus one or more links to applicable subsets of apps in the iTunes store (e.g. “See the Apps for Learning Astronomy and Earth Science Collection” or “See the Apps for Learning to Write Collection”).
- http://www.apple.com/education/ipad/: A number of additional resources and more information about using the iPad in education.
2. The “Apps in Education” Blog (http://appsineducation.blogspot.com/)
Reg Swanson runs this popular blog (with 750 members/subscribers and over 1.5 million page views) where he has published hundreds of helpful and insightful articles about iPad apps for teaching and learning. Articles are organized by academic subject for easy access, with links to these groupings right up at the top of the home page. I highly recommend this blog.

3. iPadCurriculum.com (http://www.ipadcurriculum.com/)
This is a unique site, in that it has a great side bar for searching for content. This search tool provides drop-down selectors for “Bloom’s Taxonomy”, “Device”, “Grade level”, “News”, “Price”,“Student reviewed apps”, and “Subject”, and these categories can be mixed to narrow right down to a targeted topic. For example, combine Price = ‘Free’, Grade level = ‘Elementary’, and Subject = ‘Grammar’ to find articles covering free grammar apps for elementary grades. Well done!

4. iPadinSchools.com (http://www.ipadsinschools.com/)
This site is a blog and resource listing, and a set of resources worth being aware of are their collections of apps organized by grade level. Specifically, there are pages that list a good number of “Apps for Elementary School”, “Apps for Middle School”, and “Apps for High School”. These links are found towards the top of the site’s home page.
