Tool #10 Exploring Mobile Technology and Applications




With the classroom inclusion of gadgets like the Ipod Touch and the Notebooks. The learning take an other step into the XXI century.


There are a lot of applications, most of them free, while others face price tags from $0.99 to $9.99 or up, but everything at rezonable and affordable investments.


I participated on an Ipod Touch Training this summer and I really enjoyed, and also seed a curiosity over the great possibilities of this kind of technology into the classroom. First of all kids could use Italk to record his/her reading response, or oralk quiz, and other assesments to drop later into ":DropBox" at my PC.


There are different applications related to Social Strudies topics like some to review names of US States and capitals, others which includes facts and brief stories about US States.


There are other apllications who presents the Day in History, or facts and trivias about US Presidents.


Dictionaries, software to draw, and an inmense number of any kind of applications which will give students the benefit and power of data at the top of the fingers.
