Appy-tizing chat

by Leave a Comment

There’s just no end to the great jokes I could make using the word “app”, is there?? 🙂

Last night’s #tichat was a fast and furious hour detailing some of the favorite apps that we’ve seen used in the classroom. One of the hardest thing with using the iPad/iTouch/iPhone in the classroom is finding the time to go through all of the apps in the iTunes Store listed under the education banner. From @matt_gomez’s fave “toontastic” (with great examples provided” to @plnaugle’s contribution of Apps in Education: Discovery Learning: Games Designed to Let you Fail http://t.co/iIVRqeXW which FASCINATED me…we had some great sharing going on!

Sites galore, so make sure you have plenty of open tabs and free time to sort through your faves.

When you have time, check out the archive of tweets…there’s something for high school science , middle school math…and kinder treats galore!

Final bonus? Your appy hour treat for reading this post? This site.

You? are welcome.

Apptastically,
Amber
