mLearning-the iPad for Administrators and Teachers

This article is about the iPad for administrators and teachers. According to this article, the biggest complaint administrators and teachers have is too much paper. What is the solution? The iPad:). Teachers and administrators can use less paper and never worry about which pad they jotted a note on AND never be late for an appointment again.

As a teacher, the search for the perfect organizer is a never-ending task. This article offers many apps that will suit teachers and administrators. I will list some of my favorite apps from this article below:

IEP Checklist - this is a free app that reinforces IEP information and allows you to put in student information. This is especially good for Special Education department chairperson.

Look For - an app for principals who are either doing a walk through or an observation. It enables users to organize, identify, clarify and provide immediate feedback to classroom teachers regarding their instructional practices. $49.99

Grade Book Pro - Easy to use track grades and attendance. If using the iPad2, it supports the ability to take student photos. $9.99

TeacherPal - free app, great for elementary school teachers who want to add student photo. Also enables teachers to take attendance, grades and input behavior.

Teacher Assistant Pro - allows teacher to keep track of student's actions, behaviors as well as achievements. $3.99

Sticky Notes - Keep this in your tool bar so you always have your sticky notes with you. $.99

I think these apps are exciting and useful ways to stay organized and keep track of important information. I especially like the ideal of having my sticky notes on my tool bar! And the Grade Book Pro seems like a great app to use on a daily basis for grades, attendance and photos too!:)
