Time to stop spending all afternoon hunting through the app store. These free education apps sorted by grade level should save you quite a few hours.
Beth Dichter's insight:
Check out this list of 48 free apps, sorted by grade level. Each is rated and suggested grade levels are included, plus the list is hot-linked so you can quickly download them from iTunes.

A list of some of the most useful apps for education purposes. I have done this and scouring the app store for apps can take hours. This list is extremely useful. |

Beth Dichter's insight:
The Kingston Grammar School began an iPad Trial in Sept. 2012. Their ICT Director, Matt Brittland, designed evaluations of the process and has just published a detailed report. Links to the following items are available from this website. * iPad Report (2012-2013 - full report) * iPad Trial: Launching to Heads of Departments (presentation) * iPad Launch to all Staff - Inset: How it Worked (Resources Included) * How to Evaluate iPad Use in Education * Lots of iPad Video Tutorials The final report provides graphs of evaluations from teachers and students. If your school is considering bringing in iPads take the time to review these materials.

Loads of links to what Matt Britland did at his school with iPads

If the SAMR model is new to you here is a brief explanation of the four letters that make it up: S- Substitution - Tech acts as a direct tool substitute, with no functional change. The SAMR Model begins with Substitution (as in read the poster from the bottom up to more clearly understand the model), moving to Augmentation, then Modification and finishing with Redefinition. The SAMR model is the work of Ruben R. Puentedura, Ph.D. from M.I.T. For more information on the SAMR model check out his website at http://hippasus.com/rrpweblog/. For an indepth look you may want to check out the presentation from August 23, 2012 with the title "The SAMR Model: Background and Exemplars."

Great poster, but it's important to note that what you're doing with the app will depend what SAMR level the lesson is. Keynote CAN be at Modification, but it can also be used as Substitution. For example, if a student is typing an "About Me" slide in Keynote, the technology is simply acting as a direct tool with no functional change in the task. However, if a student created an "About Me" presentation in Keynote that contained Photo Booth pictures of his/her family, and video of a family tradition that would bring the lesson to Modification. The student could not have "brought his/family" into his presentation without the use of the technology.

Do you use iPads in your school? Do you work with Bloom's Taxonomy and/or SAMR? Are you interested in seeing how you might combine Bloom's and SAMR using specific apps? If so, click through to this post.
The post takes apps and organizes in three categories:
* Consumption - which includes Knowledge and Analysis (split into Activity and Gamification)
* Collaboration - which includes Application and Synthesis (split into Assessment and Cloud Storage)
* Creation - which includes Comprehension and Evaluate (split into Multimedia & Design and Multimedia Texts)
Then read on and see how you might take these same areas and apply them to SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification and Redefinition).
This is worth a look even if you do not have iPads. The ideas of placing work into the three Cs of Consumption, Collaboration and Creation may be applied to work that students do, with or without technology.
