We discussed a number of apps you can use with your students. Examples included:
- Educreations: short videos can be made explaining a concept. It works like a white board where you can draw and explain a concept, save it and you will be sent a link to your video.
- Explain Everything: another app to create short videos. It allows you to import from evernote, dropbox and your photos from your ipad. Many math professors have students use Explain Everything as a way for students to explain how they solved homework problems.
- Evernote: a place to store notes, photos etc. that can be annotated and organized into notebooks.
- Data collection apps: specific examples include carbon footprint app, biodiversity apps, tides app
- Discipline specific apps: heart rate (records your heart rate if you place your finger over the camera lens of your smart phone); 4D Anatomy (images of heart and human body from multiple angles)
- iBooks Author: allows you to create an interactive “textbook” with 3D images, interactive images, and the ability for students to highlight text
