Top Five iPad Apps for Teaching Across All Content Areas
Ever since I was a kid, I loathed back to school commercials. They always showed parents gleefully skipping through aisles of pencils and notebooks as the kids, sullen and dejected, sluggishly followed along. It's a scene we are all too familiar with, and one that creates a negative stigma around school. But what if that scene were flipped? What if the kids were happy and eager to get to school? Is that possible after roughly 90 days of sun and fun? Although this post is a little early for the back-to-school season, consider it an early reminder that summer is near and that, eventually, the start of the 2013 school year will be close at hand. I’m going to share five applications for the iPad that will take the place of student supply lists, provide savings and replace dread with anticipation.

My Time Organizer – extensión para Chrome para gestionar eficientemente nuestro tiempo
My Time Organizer es una extensión para Google Chrome que nos permite gestionar nuestro tiempo de la manera más eficientemente posible, pudiendo trabajar incluso sin acceso a Internet. Una vez lo tengamos instalado y accedamos a él, encontraremos un calendario semanal en el que podemos ir añadiendo eventos, tareas y notas con tan sólo arrastrar dichas etiquetas a los días correspondientes, pudiendo cambiar el contenido de los mismos, incluso a través de nuestra propia voz. Igualmente podemos cambiar su color a través de un selector, e incluso arrastrarlo a la columna perteneciente a otro día si así lo deseamos. Hay que indicar que a cada elemento que introducimos en el calendario, le podemos activar un recordatorio en el que seremos notificados un tiempo antes de que se llegue la fecha establecida en dicho elemento. A pesar de la facilidad de uso a través de su elegante interfaz, si nos cuesta usarlo, contamos con un manual interactivo sobre el mismo.

It’s possible that a few of these sites began in 2011, but, if so, I’m including them in this list because they were “new to me” in 2012.

Physion - free Physics Simulation Software
Physion is free Physics simulation software that can be used by educators to create physics simulations for their class or by students to create physics simulations to explore concepts or as part of a project. The teacher can even create experiments for the students to use in class (virtual labs). You use the included tools to create physical objects, including gears, and joints (springs and pulleys) that obey the laws of the Physics. It is similar to software I used as an engineer. Below is a video that shows how it works. Here is a video showing some of the complex simulations you can create using it: This is a great resource for physics teachers to create virtual labs and investigations, as well as a tool for students to explore physics concepts and create their own labs. The site has a Wiki and Forums to find help and ideas. Physion: Related: PhET - excellent, free, virtual labs and simulations for science
