ISTE Notes

As promised I am posting some of my notes from my experience at ISTE2012. This is a compilation of some of the presentations, links, and resources that I enjoyed and want to share with my colleagues. Enjoy!

Apps that look good:

Puffin Web Browser http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/puffin-web-browser/id406239138?mt=8  Allows you to view videos that need flash on the iPad! (I tried it and it works!)

Kid pix for iPad http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/kid-pix-deluxe-3d/id406222580?mt=12
Good for storytelling! Kids can record themselves as the characters and add costumes.

Videos:

Sophia: Free memberships for teachers allows you to use instructional videos or post videos for you class (flipped classroom)
