Lists of Apps categorized by learning objectives

From a LinkedIn discussion:  "A colleague and I have broken down apps by learning objective at http://edtechteacher.org/ipads . We also post weekly resources and suggestions to our blog - http://edtechteacher.org/blog."  Posted by Beth Holland


Here is an excerpt from the ipad post...


"The iPad as.....

Over the past few months, iPads have exploded throughout schools and classrooms. Their flexibility, versatility, and mobility make them a phenomenal learning tool. In webinars and blog posts, we have talked about the iPad as....
  • Reader
  • Creator
  • Student Response System
  • Classroom Manager
  • Study Tool
  • Organizer
  • Differentiator
In this section, we take a similar approach as with our Great Tech Tools. In order to help educators integrate iPads effectively, we have compiled a list of apps focused on learning goals consistent with the CRCD framework. While many of these apps have also appeared in our iPads in the Classroom section, this list is driven by specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments.
