It’s bogglingand overwhelming to keep up on the latest gadgets and games available for theclassroom. I visited http://ipadeducators.ning.com and I was impressed with the free resources. http://ipadacademy.com/ was another great site for newbies to theapp world like me.
If any of youhave a free app you’d like to share, please email me and I’ll post it on mysite. (FREE is the operationalword here!)
The thing thatimpresses me most is that technology enables educators to “prescribe”activities to specific skills for specific students. Instead of just throwing general information out there (likegiving an aspirin to everyone), teachers have the ability to match instructionto individual needs.
REMEMBER! Balance is a key to life and education. The more time children spend in frontof a computer, the more they NEED to sing, play outside, talk, and haveconcrete experiences. Dinosaursand techies can play in the sandbox together!
