Comment by Brian Thomas on April 21, 2011 at 12:11pm: 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

Comment by Brian Thomas on April 15, 2011 at 1:32pm: 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.

Comment by Kate Ryder on April 15, 2011 at 8:20am: Opinions Please...Brian - and anyone else that uses QR codes

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

Comment by Brian Thomas on April 13, 2011 at 10:56am: 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

Comment by Kate Ryder on April 12, 2011 at 10:54pm: 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.

Comment by Laura Wright on April 9, 2011 at 10:11pm: 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 :)
