ipads

I have had several teachers recently contacting me to see how to make good use of their new ipads in their art classrooms. I have given them a few simple ideas but it's hard when I am not in the classroom everyday. I am going to visit the art teacher Chelsea Meyer in Waverly to see how she incorporates it into her teaching.  We are going to do some work on how to assess kids through Voicethread and Flickr in a few weeks, then plan a project with her students and mine.
Looking for a good drawing app for the ipad and possibly some animation apps too.  Any suggestions?
Thanks, Wendy

iPad Guide for Teachers

As we gear up for the summer workshop I thought I'd give you a preview of one of the things we will be doing.  That's right, we'll be using our iPads again.  Only this year you'll have them to use throughout the entire workshop rather than the last day.  Since many are on different levels of comfort with using the iPad, all the way from it's still in the box to using it creatively in the classroom, I wanted to share a website I found in my Twitter feed today.  It's a short list of useful apps for teachers.  There are simple apps like file storage/transfer to brainstorming to content creation.  There were a few I hadn't seen before so I wanted to pass it on.

Remember, if there is an app that isn't free that you want to try, let me know.   I'd also be interested to hear if there are any apps that you are using that would be worth sharing with the whole group.
