Generally it is a mistake to rate the educational value of an App, as it is the lesson outcomes that create the learning not the App.

This is a good representation of the assistive capacity of a selection of Apps.

An App does not have to be inherently educational to be used effectively in the classroom. It is not the App but the

best use of the App that makes the difference.

It is easier, and less frustrating, to achieve your desired outcome when you know the capabilities and limitations of the

Technology .

Set engaging tasks, don't expect the technology to do it for you.

The effective implementation of any new technology requires a shift in pedagogy.

An example of a modern learning space:

24 students24 iPads18 chairs6 desks

Full title is Changing Educational Paradigms. Watch on YouTube, particularly this section regarding divergent

thinking.

Australian TV series, age 9 explored creativity. As expected they proved highly creative, so

what happens to the creativity of youth?

Creativity pays in the world of Art

Creativity in real life - the designer of this road needed a very creative solution, drivers sometimes need to be creative in seeking an alternative route.

Did Einstein actually say this? Regardless, it is a good quote, school should be fun so encouraging your

students to be creative can help to make it that way.

How to give a presentation without using a presentation App? Answer - Create a Photo Album of App created

material, photos, videos and screen shots.

A search of the iBooks Store reveals many free books about iPads.

Forget typing, use Siri to convert written text into digital form. Use Notes and the file is immediately available on all iCloud synched

devices.

Connect to a projector, Open a blank page,

Activate Siri.Now speak and your words appear on the

screen in written form like a teletext machine.

Project written student work, book pages or any small object on the large screen from anywhere in the classroom by using the iPad's built in camera as a

document viewer.

Switch the iPad's built in camera to front facing and the camera becomes a

mirror.

Based on an older concept of mashing files created in various software, Appsmashing is a great term for bringing that concept to the iPad. This image exemplifies the process but alternative Apps

could be substituted to complete the same task.

Everyone loves free Apps. Apps Gone Free is an App that gives a daily selection of paid Apps that are free for 24

hours. Trash and treasure depending on your personal needs but

it doesn't cost anything.

Converts any web page into a multi page PDF document that can be saved to any App that views PDF files such as iBooks.

Need an App that performs a particular function?Having trouble finding something in the App Store?

Google it instead. The App Store searches file names while Google searches the text of the entire page making it more

likely to find the functionality you are looking for.

Compressing images can greatly reduce their file size resulting in smaller documents for transferring and also

frees up storage space on the iPad.

SimpleResize gives more control over the compression while PhotoShrinker can work with multiple images.

Common options for sharing files. Flick - Dropbox - Google Drive - AirDrop - Edmodo -Showbie

Think SAMR to raise the level of iPad use. The following pages show how to use iPads in Maths that isn't simply substitution, but rather makes use of the iPad's added

functionality.

"The SAMR Model Explained by Students" is a great YouTube clip to introduce and/or clarify its use.

Created by Kindergarten students using the iPad's camera and PicCollage. This activity led to great discussions on perspective

and angles to show the shape correctly in the photo.

Year 1 students used Book Creator to make a book of all the friends to 10 by taking photos of students in the required groupings and

discussed the number sentence of each friend to 10 created.Student photos not included here for privacy reasons.

Year 2 were looking at directional language.

Students worked in pairs to photograph each other at

quarter turn, half turn, three quarter turn and full turn. Photos were loaded into PicCollage and labelled.

Student images again not included for privacy reasons.

Year 4 discovered fractions within the classroom. Placing a photo within

Explain Everything they drew around a collection to define the whole and then

highlighted the fractional parts and recorded their explanation of what they did. Whilst the fractional part is constant the components vary depending on the

size of the whole.

Year 4 students created graphs from data collected from using Pop Math and Temple Run. Any game that gives a score is

suitable for this purpose. They constructed graphs based on aggregate, high score, low score, average, high low difference, converted distances and adding how much to reach a target

distance/score. Student enjoyed including the teacher's score.

Years 5&6 used the App Unfold to examine how nets work. Students then created an alternative net design that would fold

into a cube.

Using Explain Everything - set up the full solution then undo each section, start recording and press redo to make each line appear while explaining the method in a single

take.

Use MyScript Calculator for

- giving instant feedback on number reversals,- predict a count- linking multiplication to repeated addition- showing multiple operations on a single line- order of Operations

Show population density by comparing night views of

countries using Living Planet. Also shows weather and time zones around the world on a rotating

globe.

Plane tracker Apps show people movements between the most

populated areas.

Takes a photo of anything educational, eg a 100s chart, and import into a jigsaw creator such as Jigsaw HD

An iPad app can substitute for equipment that is not available. Using Geoboard, students can examine the

relationships between transforming geometric shapes.

Use the merge function within Frame Artist to create Piet Mondrian style artwork. Use a image creation App such as

SketchBook to create solid colour images that can be imported into the sections to complete the work.

Students can create Andy Warhol style artwork of themselves using photo effects Apps.

This image was created using- PhotoStudioHD - colourising effects- Graffiti Me! - add a photo to a wall- PicSketch - cartoon style- VintageHD - aged photo look- Color Splash - add colour to a B&W photo

Create a movie trailer in iMovie to tell a story using a single image transformed

with photo effects

Create a multi frame comic strip from a single image by zooming in on different aspects of the image.

Story starters using photo effects created in FotoFunia.

Display work created by students in a virtual art gallery.

Add students as characters to create a new fairy tale using Puppet Pals HD

Using Book Creator, add images, text, audio of the text and video. Export as a

video and multimedia elements play automatically to create a read along

story book.

Loop a Keynote slideshow with music. Add a transition to a blank slide and then copy and paste that slide to repeat the

transition throughout the slide show.

Rather than sit on the lounge playing games on your iPad, sit on an exercise bike and lose weight while saving the world from

zombies.
