I put this together for our blog ( http://blog.teachtci.com ) and thought of this group...especially the last three items on this as they are all great apps for the iPad.

Great Tech Tools for Writing

Kate, here is my favorite QR code generator: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/

 

On the iPad2 / iPhone, Bakodo is a great app that does a nice job and keeps a history as well.

Opinions Please...Brian - and anyone else that uses QR codes

 

What is the best QR code creator - for iPad or computer?

Kate, loved the link to your post!  With the hundreds of thousands of apps, it's like finding a needle in a haystack sometimes when it comes to finding good apps for teachers.

Here is a link to a post on our blog where we highlight some great social studies and productivity apps: http://blog.teachtci.com/more-great-social-studies-apps

If any of you have a "teacher productivity" app that you swear by and I have not discovered it yet, please share. Since there are thousands of apps we must rely on groups like this for the best discoveries. My most used apps for daily productivity.

Thanks for your reply Kate. Sorry I didn't explain myself better.

The HDMI cable (and the VGA cable) projects the ipad screen onto the IWB - I was hoping that iPad games might be able to be controlled through the IWB i.e. move an object on the IWB and it moves on the iPad and vice versa. I've since discovered this isn't possible. Oh well, something to look out for in iPad 3 :)

In response to Laura... I have used the HDMI cable with my iPad2, but I am not sure what you mean about with a with an IWB. We can project the iPad screen on the board (any board or wall for that matter) but we can not use the interactive capabilities of the board unless the board is connected to the iPad. I plug the HDMI cable into my projector and switch the source from the VGA (computer) to the HDMI. I can then switch between the computer image projected or the iPad image being projected, depending on what we need to look at during the lesson.

I posted a blog about the bluetooth keyboard and HDMI cable, my 2 favorite iPad accessories so far.

I listed my class's favorite apps in reply to a blog post on Brainpop. I put a copy of our reply on my blog.

After spending a few days with an iPad2, I wrote a blog about my first impressions. I do appreciate the cameras and it is definitely lighter than the original model. I have yet to decide if the speed makes enough of a difference to justify an upgrade. After more time using it on a day-to-day basis I will blog about the comparison to the original model. Soon 3 more iPads will be delivered for my classroom. So far, I have had only one and I can't wait to have THREE! Oh the possibilities...
