1st Tech Tuesday of 2012

The 1st Tech Tuesday of the 2012-2013 school was held on September 2nd.  Many great resources were shared and discussed by the group.  Some of the resources discussed are listed below:

Note Master - sync notes with Dropbox and Google Docs

Keeper - stores passwords, syncs with Dropbox but be sure you remember your password in to Keeper because if you have 4 failed attemps to get in to the app everything is erased.

Pearltree - app and a website that shows related information visually. 

Mangahigh - Free website that is good for math activites for 3rd through 5th graders.  Website needs flash to run so it does not work on iPads.

iTranslate - Free app provides translation from english in to many languages and has an add on (purchase) option that will translate spoken language in to English

Apptivities - Great ideas on how to do projects and other activites with an iPad. Not a site with lists of apps but rather activities and then apps to help accomplish the project/activity.

Next Tech Tuesday is actually on Wednesay November 7th.  See you there!
