Editor's Notes

  • #10 Some of you may have seen this but it is indicative of .app learning reaching some sort of maturity, we could add many more onto this now, given that the iTunes store now claims to have over 600,000 apps and Android has c.500,000 with Blackberry lagging behind at a mere 30,000. Interestingly there has been a 37% removal rate for Android apps and hardly any for Apple apps, no doubt because of their quality control system which I leave you to make a judgment on!
  • #12 What I’ve done here is pick a few apps, they’re not necessarily the best , there may be alternatives but with such a large market to go at, I have had to choose some that I feel are noteworthy. Notice the reference to Cloud Storage which an increasing number of people are turning to for their storage– there are some issues with access at some learning providers which need to be addressed but overall the potential is huge. Other areas which are becoming increasingly “interesting” include Augmented Reality and Games Based Learning – more of which in a few moments. Game based learning is an area where good apps abound. I’ve included 3 in here which are perhaps slightly contentious. I would urge you to search for the subject based apps. The market is now developing a sort of maturity in which some of the simpler, boring apps are being replaced by more effective, interesting and inclusive apps
  • #15 Of all the apps available, I’m just going to concentrate on these 7, for no particular reason and to give you an opportunity to look at these on the devices available and make some comment and observations on their usefulness for teaching and learning
  • #16 MeetingsDyslexic learnersVisual learners
  • #19 Sending routesAsking questions from remote regions
  • #20 A brilliant little app for girls!!
  • #21 Edit and produce any Office document, spreadsheet, PP etc and upload to your DropBox account
