This week I thought I would dedicate a post to one app and ways it can be used authentically in the classroom. The Sock Puppets is a wonderful app that allows you to quickly create your own puppet show.

Tammy Worcester, an awesome ed tech source, has created a step by step process on how to use this app in the classroom:

Hi Friends!

 

I’ve created this blog so that there is a place where one can find current information for iPad implementation and ideas on how to utilize particular apps in the classroom setting.  For this first post I thought I would pass on two sites with great information for iPad utilization.  The first site gives 14 smart tips for using iPads in the classroom:

The second site is by one of my favorite educators, Kathy Schrock, who has created an awesome page that implements Bloom’s Taxonomy and the apps that fit each level: 

If you notice, the title of this blog is: B.E.A.R.S.   I have lovely prizes for the person or persons who can correctly identify the word for each letter of the acronym.  :)   Please post your answer in the comment section below.

Finally, each week there will be a new post sharing more ideas for iPad implementation.  If there are any requests for a particular level or content area, feel free to post them in the comment section.  I will do my best to locate your requests and share them in the next week’s blog post!
