iPad Resources
Welcome to our LiveBinder of iPod Touch & iPad resources for preK-12 educators. @http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=36989

Prezi
Taking PowerPoint to the next level of animation and creativity, Students can use Prezi to move around in a world of information that they present (literally).

Evernote
Evernote allows students to remember everything by copying and pasting PDF files, text, images, sounds, files, web pages, and more into an online service that syncs across devices and platforms.

Skitch
Using Skitch students can annotate pictures, make recommendations, suggest editing ideas, add text, and more with a simple user interface.

Pearltrees
Students can collaborate to create related sets of information such as web pages, photos, notes, on and offline, as well as share their topics with others.

Animoto
With an education version, students can tell stories and share information through Animoto’s automated video creator by uploading pictures, video, or a combination of both.

Twitter
Students can become experts at microblogging, tagging, reading, and sharing stories that are trending in real-time by following or adding their own followers.

Tweetdeck
For when the basic Twitter app just isn’t enough, students can use Tweetdeck to see multiple lines of information at once and make inferences as to what news and events are trending and why.

Day One Journal
Digital natives can breathe easier knowing that they can journal with their iPads, including events and photos, and sync it all to their iPhones.

Edmodo
With Edmodo Students can stay connected to the classroom and use it to check for messages, post replies, send notes, and submit assignments, in or out of the school.

Collaborize Classroom
A good alternative to Edmodo, Collaborize Classroom allows students to login, discuss, vote, and participate in activities and assignments online, as well as post responses and share comments.

More great iPad Apps from fellow Teacher-Librarians!
1. From Michelle Auxier:

Nearpod Teacher and Nearpod Student

 * Nearpod allows teachers and students to sync their iPads so that the teacher can demonstrate on her iPad while the students follow along on their own. The teacher device needs Nearpod Teacher installed and the student devices need to have the Nearpod Student version. The teacher is able to give the students a code to sync the devices.

2. From Heather Hufstedler: Toontastic -Users will love learning the elements of a story or plot graph as they develop their own story on Toontastic. Users pick characters and setting, maneuver them, and tell the story they have made. Playback gives the audio of your recording while showing you the story in action.

3. From Hope Hunter:

Rover Browser

iPads do not play Flash videos. The Rover browser is especially designed to stream educational Flash videos. (This also allows the Animoto app to work.)
