iPad Apps Resources

Today at our Tech Tuesday Sandbox we will be talkin about iPad apps.  Here are some great spots to look for those apps.

Brad Wilson - 4th grade teacher in Michigan - Check out his livebinder full of great ipad resources. Brad also has a great website - 21 Century Innovations.  I love iPad/iPod page! Lots of great resources even a section on apps in Special Education!  He's on twitter too - http://twitter.com/dreambition.


iear.org - A community of teachers sharing and rating great apps!

Cybraryman - Jerry has some AMAZING resources for EVERTHING!!  He's got a ton of great information.  Here is his page all about iPads!   You name it and Jerry probably has it.  He's on twitter too http://twitter.com/cybraryman1

Mid-Hudson Regional Information Center - iPad Resources for Administrators

WOW! Check out this blog post Eleven More Incredible iPad Resources from Michael Gorman.  This blog post has tons of other links as well.

Escondido Union School District - Google Doc of iPad Apps with grade levels and subjects!  And its sortable!!

Kathy Schrock's Guide to Everything - Lots of great things about education and technology.  She has a section on iPads in the Classroom, Twitter for Teachers, Tech Skills for Teachers and tons of other cool resources.

Inov8 Educational Consulting’s “There’s an App for that – 10 part Series” Each part of the series focuses on a different skill such as reading comprehension, writing, behavior/classroom management, etc.

On Appolicious educators create lists of apps.  Some lists are better than others but each has some value. I also follow appolicious on twitter for get information about new apps or apps that are on sale.

There is an EXCELLENT group on Facebook that shares information about apps and this is where I find out when apps are on sale. It is an outstanding page - iTeach Special Education – iDevice in Special Education

My last recommendation is Twitter.  Twitter is for more than just apps but a few people I follow frequently share information about apps, again, especially when they go on sale.
