Two Educational iPad Apps With Halloween Themes

October 5, 2016 by admin

ipoeMath vs. Zombies is an iPad game with a spooky theme. The game is has three virtual worlds each containing ten levels of basic math problems. The object of the game is to correctly solve as many math problems as possible before the zombies catch you. The math of the game is basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If you’re comfortable having your students play math games that have a zombie theme Math vs. Zombies offers engaging practice activities. Tap to Learn, the producers of Math vs. Zombies, offers a few non-zombie math games if you’re looking for something else to try on your iPad.

iPoe is an iPad app that features a collection of four of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories. The stories include the animations and sounds. You can interact with some of the featured animations. The four stories included in iPoe are The Oval Portrait, The Tell-Tale Heart, Annabel Lee, and The Masque of the Red Death.

Seesaw TV for Apple TV – A Good Way to Showcase Students’ Work

April 7, 2016 by admin

seesaw app icon Over the last two school years Seesaw has quickly become a favorite tool for creating digital portfolios. Some of the great features in Seesaw include letting students join your classroom account by simply scanning a QR code, letting students add voice notes to artifacts in their portfolios, and enabling students to share portfolio artifacts directly to a classroom blog managed by their teachers.

Seesaw recently released an option for displaying portfolio artifacts through Apple TV. Seesaw TV can be found in the Apple TV App Store. Through Seesaw TV you can display student work, add emoji comments to their work, show slideshows of all of your students’ work or an individual student’s work, and view all details about an artifact.

Seesaw TV could provide you with a good way for students to give a presentation about their favorite lessons of the year or the work that they are most proud of.

Change Your Google Slides Themes and Layouts in the Latest iOS App

March 26, 2016 by admin

Screen Shot 2014-09-22 at 8.28.40 AM The Google Slides iPad app received a nice little update this week. Now you can change your presentation theme and template in the Google Slides iOS app. Previously, you could only do that in your web browser or in the Android app. Make sure you run the update in order to take advantage of this new feature.

This update brings the Google Slides iOS app to closer alignment with the experience of using Google Slides on an Android device or in the web browser on a laptop or desktop. This is good news for teacher working in BYOD or BYOT environments. Speaking of which, one of my summer workshops is focused on teaching in BYOD settings. You can learn more about the Practical Ed Tech BYOD Workshop here.
