iPad+as+Content+Tool

**Updating in Process ** **Using iPad for Content ** iPads strongly support the following content tasks: Internet search, Word and Math play, Picture, video and audio production, collaboration We are finding in the Tomahawk project that we need very few apps. This surprised us. We are using Googledocs for writing and excel type activities, use Office2HD or Quick office to support powerpoint. We have flashcard makers, several reading/ research writing apps, (notability, infinote, idea sketch, slingnote), outliners and timeliners. To see our base package check out the wiki **tomahawkipadcrew.wikispaces.com** and select the MS tab. In other projects we found these 3 apps to be our favorites **Splice**: an iPhone app that constructs short videos on the fly. Use: social stories starring the user that can be created on the way to the lunchroom and used before returning to class. **Storykit:** Another iPhone app that allows you to create stories with pictures, words, text and audio. Format works k-12 **Smartnotebook App**: Lesson is loaded on classroom iPads which are given to targeted students during group time. Students work the whole smartnotebook activity being used as the lesson/ circle time etc. They are still called on to write at the big board but has helped students to stay engaged in the activity when they are unable to in the bigger group.

**This Resource is Great: it gives you the long list but also highlights their favorites. **  **--old--- ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Great new lesson find. ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> http://www.scoop.it/t/ipad-lessons <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">iPad Tutorials: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> [] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">**<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: auto;">Site with App Lists that match class needs: ** <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #800080; font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 16px; text-align: left; vertical-align: auto;">__[]__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">App Review: <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">Autism Epicenter <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;">SNapps4kids.com <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; display: block; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 16px; margin: 10px 20px 10px 10px; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> [|http://www.funeducationalapps.com/] [] Jean Van Houten shared this app checklist as a review tool: She also shared a nice feature match:
