If want ideas for apps to explore UEN the Utah Educational Network has compiled a list of apps that are useful for education for a variety of grade levels and subjects. Check them out here:
http://www.uen.org/apps4edu/ This week I tested out an easy to use app called SlideIdea. You type in the text and pick an image you like and it organizes the slides for you with several different template options. It's an easy to use visual interface. Click here for more details about SlideIdea http://www.uen.org/apps4edu/app_details.php?id=843 To download: Ipad Store Check out Mindmeister: https://www.mindmeister.com/ Here's an example mind map I created about the benefits of Mind Maps. It's a very intuitive and easy to use interface. https://www.mindmeister.com/742119062/mind-maps I'm going to be highlighting chrome apps for education once a week. I use this one all the time for editing photos for the school website. It's fun and pretty easy to get the hang of. It's called Sumo Paint. Just go to the Google Chrome store and you can download it for free. https://www.sumopaint.com/home/ It gives you lots of options of shapes and colors and is fun to play with. It lets you save your images to your computer or to the cloud. Here are some website resources that you may want to take a look at now that you are back in school

Here is my featured Ipad App of the Week. Shadow Puppet This app gives students the tools to create video slideshows from videos, photos, artwork, etc. Students can easily add narration to their slideshow. The app let's you do searches of the library of congress, met museum of art, the British Library, NASA, and NOAA. You can also do a map search and add famous landmarks.
