Trading Cards iPad App In US History

Through this blog post, I learned about the Trading Cards app. It is a fantastic app for so many content areas.  The great thing about being a technology integration specialist is that I can find resources and share them with so many people.  Immediately after learning about the app, I contacted one of our U.S. History teachers in our high school. We quickly established how the app would be integrated and moved forward.

Best Note Taking Apps

@KristinStrauman hit me up on Twitter with a great question:  What is the best overall note taking ipad app for students-- able to type and HW?

Obviously, this calls for student input and a blog post!

PaperPort Notes or Noterize  (FREE)
Written about here, and here!
This app allows for typing, annotating with handwriting, and importing pictures and pdfs.


ScratchWork  (FREE)
This app is outstanding because notes with texting and drawing can be right next to a screen of the internet.  Truly awesome!  Our students used it here.



DrawPad  ($1.99)
Allows for everything.  It does cost money, but may be an app that everyone can use.  Therefore, justified.


Totes Em Notes  (FREE for now)
Great little app that has cool graphics.  Can be used to type or text.
Our students have access to it, but I don't have footage of it.  I did find this...

Enhanced Notes of Content Through Explain Everything

Students are really getting the hang of the features in the Explain Everything app.  I have really noticed a sense of individuality and creativity in note taking.  Part of my struggle is that I know in high school note taking will be required at some point.  Maybe students will look at note taking differently after using an app with multimedia features.  At the same time, they are fully engaged in understanding the information this year.

Remember at the end of our journey to the civil war, they must use the Explain Everything app to "tell the story".  This will serve as their assessment.
