Cool Apps
Skitch
Used as a mind-map, Popplet helps students think and learn visually. Students can capture facts, thoughts, and images and learn to create relationships between them. This app is great to use in group projects, and a great way to make homework fun.
Molecules Sunsetlakesoftware.com/molecules Great for science fans, this app provides 3-D renderings of molecules which can be manipulated with fingertips. Evernote.com/skitch Upload a photo and write all over Skitch, which also functions like a whiteboard app. Connect it to the LCD projector via adapter and work out problems or correct sentences with students.
Toontastic 3-D
Toontastic.withgoogle.com Bring students' writing to life through cartoons. Toontastic allows students to create five-minute cartoons with music, premade or creatable backgrounds, and characters.
