What's that smell?

I am sad to say this isn't available on the iPad at this time.  Here is the post talking about an amazing advancement that google made this past week.

Snapseed?

Here is an app that I have been playing with.  Sometimes you might use your iPad to take pictures and they just don't come out right.  It might be too dark or just a bit off due to the angle of the image.  This is where Snapseed comes in.  You can do all the usual things like crop and brighten the images.  What about adding some effect like tilt-shift?  It is as easy as a tap and drag.

Why not download and give it a try?

Free for your iPad and those amazing android devices.

Here are some basic adjustments you can make.  In a few swipes your images will begin to pop!

(If someone tries or reads this post let me know what you think of this app.)

iMovie

Check out this creative use of iMovie by ELL teacher Katherine Crawford.  Get ready to use the trailer feature..... This app will be coming to an iPad near you very soon.

The Frog and the iPad

Sometimes I wish there was a way to have the kids capture a short audio recording and email it to me.  Then I found this website/app while reading my twitter stream.  All my dreams are starting to come true.

There are two ways to use this.
Website - croak.it
App - download for the app store.

The video will demonstrate the website.  The app works in the same way.



How could you use this in your classroom?

Clash of the Titans

There are many apps to write with on the iPad but none are as mighty as the TitanPad.  This site will work on most devices that a student might bring to class.

Watch the video to lean how to operate this pad.  (Hint: just click the blue Create public pad button.)

ProTip - How will you get your students to find and access the pads?  The easiest way to do that is through a QR Code.  Take a look at this post to see how to create one.  You can then print the codes and tape them inside an assignment book, pencil box, on the classroom wall....

Here is another post that will describe other ways to use QR Codes in the classroom.
