I received David Wolber’s App Inventor Book and skimmed over it this weekend. It will be perfect to help me build the 2nd trimester of Introduction to Programming with Web Design. My idea is to have the programmers be the “app inventors” and the web designers create a class “marketplace” for the apps. We’ll see how it goes…
I also found some good resources for all things iPads. Since I will be getting a class set for AP Calculus next year, I want to make sure that I know as much as possible so that I can use them effectively!
I found the iPads in Education ning. Definitely recommended reading if you’re interested in using iPads in your classroom. Some things I learned, briefly:
- Use Your iPad as a Second Display for Your Computer – iPads in Education bit.ly/kIYw45
- The 50 Most Beautiful iPad Apps http://zite.to/jnz7eD
- Google Swiffy – converts Flash SWF files to HTML5 for use on iOS devices swiffy.googlelabs.com
@SamGliksman is the guy to follow and the hashtag he uses is #ipaded.
