TPACK iPad Project
Some of my best finds on the Internet are those that are the least expected! Case in point: I randomly clicked on a link that was located on the Clustrmaps page associated with my blog and found this treasure trove of ideas that iPad users will just love: TPACK iPad Project In Schools.
At first the site appeared to be just another blog about the use of iPads in the classroom, but as I clicked around a bit more, I discovered one of the most comprehensive educational iPad sites I have seen to date. Not only does the author, Dr. Jenny Lane—a researcher and lecturer of Education at Edith Cowan University in Perth, Australia—provide tips, tricks and thoughts on the integration of iPads in the classroom, but she shares a wealth of information in the following categories:
- iPad App Guide – Complete with descriptions, how to videos, tutorials, lesson ideas, recommended readings and additional info related to how the app can be used in education. It’s like visiting the App Store—only better!
- App Recommendations
- Apps by Learning Area
- Apps for Administrators, Teachers and Students
- Bloom’s Taxonomy of Apps
- Find iPad Activities – Links to sites in which educators can find activities for the classroom
- iPad Educators, Groups, Resources and Schools
- Special Needs Links
- Student iPad Blogs
Wherever you are in terms of using iPads in your classroom, you should definitely check out the TPACK iPad Project In Schools site! Now excuse me while I download a few new apps for my students! 🙂
