__App__: Teacher Assistant Pro, Cost $5.99 - This app allows you to keep track of student behavior so you have a chance to notice any themes. You can also send home an email to parents to share what you have posted. There is a free version but it only allows you to have a few kids in the system - would work if you are only using it for a few kids.

__App__: Everyday Math Apps, Cost $1.99 - These are great for general review of math material. Kids can play them quickly and review math facts. When I got them they were free - so check them from time to time and maybe will go free again.

__App:__ **iMovie,** cost $5 – iMovie is a movie or slideshow creation application for the iPad. It allows you to take video through the app and edit that video really easily. With a swipe of the finger, you can create individual video clips. A double tap can allow you to add a title to your video clip. You can also insert sound effects or music by clicking on the music note. The main key to this app is the pink editing bar. This pink bar is your viewing place in the video. But when you tap on a video clip, you can use the pink bar to help you shorten the clip to get rid of unwanted footage. One of the main things to remember when sharing videos with students is that __editing always makes the video better.__ After you have finished editing your video, with one tap you can upload to camera roll, YouTube, facebook, vimeo, CNNireport, or you can send it to iTunes. **Only downside**, it takes awhile to upload depending on your internet speed. When I am at home, it takes around 1 hour to upload the video! //At school, it does go faster.// //--added by: Amber Bridge// How it's used in the classroom- http://mp8flipside.wikispaces.com/ Reflection: This app is super easy to use and has assisted with my pilot program of the flipped classroom. Using traditional methods of video camera, to upload to a computer, to editing program and to DVD would add so many more steps to this process. It has simplified the process and made it much more user friendly. My only frustration with this app is the time that it takes to upload a movie.

Leslie hanzelka, science App: mahjong chem This app has mahjong games using chemistry subjects, including ions with their charges and names, as well as solubility rules. A good study aid, especially since it's free.

Lisa Doser, physical education App: Giant Scoreboard This app will allow me to keep time and score without using the actual big scoreboard in the gym. It's free as well.

..... Beth Fiordelise, 7th grade Language Arts App: Flashcardlet This is a free app that allows students to create their own flashcards. They can type a word on one side, flip the card over and type in the definition on the other. They can also include a picture. Another option is for teachers to create the flashcards and have the students download thhem from the library.

Marlinda Beachy, High School FCS App: Calorie Counter I used this free app with my Advanced Foods class. They entered menus and then it analyzed the grams of fat, carbohydrates, protein and calories from those foods to give a total for the meal or a day. The app includes restaurant items, name brand and store brand items so they tried various menus using those options. It has a scanner that reads bar codes which we used to scan some food products. We used the app to analyze the nutritional content of the Madrigal meal which we will be helping to prepare.

Amy Boehmer, Learning Strategies (HS resource) App: MoneyFree I used this free app when discussing monthly budgets. This app allows you to record both income and expenses monthly. It also has multiple graphs and charts to analyze and compare your spending.

Sara Puttmann, high school math App: Show Me App: Dice App: Deal or No Deal Show Me: I had students do quiz corrections using this app. They had to rewrite the problem, solving it correctly, and explain it in words. The students did a great job, but not all the show me's saved - so it was hard to grade. Perhaps since I had all 6 working under the same account at the same time it didn't like us too much :). Dice/Deal or No Deal. Amy Boehmer and I co-taught a unit on probability and used these apps. The Dice is just a simple dice (or you can use up to... 8 or so) to roll and we had some experiments that worked better using the iPad's than it would have with actually dice flying around the room. The Deal or No Deal app was also used with the probability unit as a station of games - after each round they had to discuss if the probability of opening a case with more or less than what the banker was offering.

Krista Stutzman, HS Spanish App: StoryCorps I had a lot of difficulty finding an app for upper level Spanish classes. I did find a few story-telling apps that were not necessarily for foreign language, but could be used as such (Story Shout, Story Wheel), but I felt I would need to be sure my students had certain vocabulary before being able to use them. With StoryCorps (a program from NPR) "regular" people record themselves interviewing a friend/family member about any topic they want. I used this with my students to have them listen and then retell and record the stories in Spanish. Theoretically, we could have used the ipads to record the stories (and post them to StoryCorps), but my research showed that the length of recording would have caused problems using the program I had. So, we used Audacity on our computers. Truly, I could have done this just using the Internet on a computer, but the kids were excited to use the ipads, so we at least got to use them for the listening and note-taking part. I'm still searching for an app that really fits my content!

Collette McClellen, HS Vocal App: Tenuto This is a great app for testing a wide range of musical knowledge. It has very elementary quizzes, like identifying notes on a staff, to very complex quizzes, like identifying chords (with sevenths, and in different inversions). It also has ear training exercises, where it plays different intervals or chords, and you have to identify it. The app keeps a record of how many problems you solved, and the percentage correct. App: Soundrop Not much in the way of educational in the formal sense, but it is a lot of fun. A ball "drops" and you place lines on the screen for the ball to hit. You can really make some neat 'compositions' this way. Lots of fun in the van on our way to and from honor choirs! App: Ear Trainer As the name suggests, this app is all about ear training. There are a ton of different types of ear training exercises: identify major versus minor, pick out one note from the chord, identify the interval played, identify the inversion of the chord, etc. It's a great way to test your listening skills. App: ReadRhythm This app is great to use, if you already have a good idea of how to read rhythm. It doesn't really teach you anything about rhythm. It's a great practice tool and a way to stretch your skills. There are about a thousand different variations (and I'm not really exaggerating...) which is good, but almost overwhelming. App: Nota Good for students just wanting to quiz on note names. Doesn't do much else, but it is fun.
