iTouch and iPhone Apps for Education

The power of Twitter and personal learning networks continues to amaze me! Yesterday Oklahoma teacher Christy Paradise tweeted me a question about available workshops or training resources on iTouch and iPhone applications for education / classroom use. After retweeting the question, California educator Sandra McGonagle replied with a link to Tony Vincent’s upcoming live workshop over UStream on Wednesday, April 29th at 3 pm PST, titled, “Picks from the App Store.”

Another California educator, Ken Shelton, also tweeted a link to the iTouch/iPhone session he conducted at CUE last month, “iPhone/iPod Touch: The Ultimate Teaching and Learning Assistant.”

Tracey McGrath, a Philadelphia educator, tweeted a link to the Apple Learning Interchange article, “iPod touch. Touching student lives in the classroom: Creative Uses for iPod touch in Education.”

California educator Diane Darrow tweeted a link to “Calisphere iTouch History,” which is a project bringing California history resources (including primary source materials) onto the iTouch/iPhone platforms.

The December 2008 OEDb post, “Top 50 iPhone Apps for Educators,” is also worth checking out on this subject. I found it via Diigo’s top social bookmarks tagged “iTouch.”

Thank you learning network for sharing all these great resources! I hope I can tune into Tony Vincent’s live webcast on Wednesday to learn even more and ask him some questions! :-)

Wes, thank you so much for gathering this information for us. I teach with Chris Paradise. It will be very useful as we prepare for our iTouch grant project. We will sign up for Tony Vincent’s April 29 webcast, for sure. The Apple Learning Interchange article is fantastic, but we knew there must be something live out there!

Wes, thanks for all the help! I also got some information in response to your FB status. It’s great to be able to connect so quickly and easily with other educators.

[...] ironically, Wes Fryer posted a link on Twitter to an article he had written on the ISTE blog on iTouch and iPhone apps for Education, and his opening sentence was “The power of Twitter and personal learning networks continues [...]

I wanted to add to this announcement that Tony Vincent’s workshop is sponsored by ISTE’s Handheld Computing SIG (SIGHC) and this will be the first in a series of free workshops for its members. (Anyone — SIGHC member or not — is welcome to attend)

For more information on SIGHC, please visit their website at http://www.iste.org/sighc

if i text from my itouch does it cost the person i text to

@Cindy That depends on the person you are texting to. Most calling plans include unlimited texting, but if your recipient doesn’t have unlimited text messages they may be charged if you text them. Hope that helps!

Hey folks,

The iPhone and iPod touch have such a huge potential as educational tools!

I’ve recently completed some math-based educational apps that might be of use in and out of the classroom. You can check them out at the following site if you’re interested in reading more:
