Wish list of Apps

1. IMovie $4.99 I do a project in religion where groups of students tape a recitation of a line or two from a prayer. This would be a way to put each clip together to make the whole prayer.

2. Pearl trees. Free. This is a free visual collaborative library. It is a place to organize and retrieve web pages, photos, notes, etc.

3. Screenchomp. Free app for creating shareable and replay-able videos. This would be a great presentation tool for teachers and students.

4. Word Mover. Free app for writing poetry. Has very good reviews.

5. Sound Uncovered. Free. Reviews say it's really cool. It says it is an interactive book. This might work with all the writing I do in class.

6. Tools 4students. $.99 This looks like it would be great to use in my lit classes to organize ideas like character analysis, compare/contrast, chap. Summaries,etc.

7. Dragon dictation. Free I have a couple of students that have problems with handwriting that makes their work illegible. I often have to have them read their work to me. Would this help them?

8. GarageBand. $4.99. My seventh grade studies Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky. They present a poem to the class. I think it would be fun if they could set their poem to music.

9. myHomework. Free This is a student planner. One review said they couldn't have passed college without it. Kids might like this instead of the notebook type.

10. QR Code Maker. Free. I thought this might be fun to use. The kids could create a book talk or some other short presentation and the kids could download the app on their phones or devices and read them

Personal apps

1. Cook's Illustrated Magazine. Free. I love America's Test Kitchen. This is the companion magazine.

2. Paperless Teacher $9.99. Mixed reviews, but this is a wish list. One thing that appealed to me is that it gives immediate feedback to students via email.

3. Good Notes. Free. This sounds interesting. You can download presentations into this app and then add notes and notes pages. Reviews were pretty good.

4. Healthy Desserts $1.99. This seems like a oxymoron, but the reviews are good. I'd like to try it.

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">5. Food Network in the Kitchen. $1.99. I love the channel so this is something I'd probably really like.
