There are over 5 billion application downloads and keeps growing 700 applications a day. There are tons of applications that are great for educators that will go along with a lesson or activity. It's amazing because there are many that are free applications. It's hard to stay up to date with technology but it will be fun to explore for teachers to help engage their students.There are many websites that Tony has that are organized nicely that have good reviews on what teacher's would recommend. An example is an application for how to learn long division, long multiplication, or fraction math. This is so much more interesting and helpful to many different types of learners to use their Ipod, Ipad, or Itouch instead of writing with pencil and paper. One fascinating thing is how educators are using twitter to share these different applications, all you have to do is search #edapp. I found this Podcast very interesting and helpful. A lot of the information that he had talked about I had not heard about before. It's amazing how much technology has expanded and how often a teacher can use it in their classroom.
