I was asked by Jon Lustic, @gistul, Technology Director – Saint Peter Public Schools, Saint Peter, MN the following question on Twitter:
I’m looking for 5-10 free must include apps for a staff iPad deployment – any tips…Notes, Educreations, Nearpod, Socrates…TIA
These were my first reactions to his request.
@gitsul dropbox, nearpod student & teacher, educreations, creative book builder, PDF writer like paperport notes, i-nigima, iBooks, iTunes U
@gitsul word processing/presentation that fits your existing system: pages, office hd(?), Socrative, Rover, Twitter, iMovie
So, apparently my short list is as follows, in no specific order…
- Dropbox
- Nearpod Student and Teacher
- Educreations
- Creative Book Builder
- A PDF writer (like PaperPort Notes)
- A QR code Reader. I haven’t found one as sensitive as i-nigma. Even if it is an iPod app.
- iBooks
- iTunes U
- A word processing and presentation App (Pages/Keynote / Office HD (?))
- Socrative (teacher and student)
- Rover browser
- iMovie
What would be on your top 10? Or, your top 13, as my list turned out to be?
