Communication-I explored Educreations. It can be used on a laptop or ipad. Educreations was designed to be an interactive whiteboard/screencasting too. I looked through it and found it pretty easy to use. I could see having a small group of first graders viewing and interacting with it while I’m teaching another group. It would almost be like cloning me a bit!
Collaboration-I explored more in Google Drive with students in mind. I use it a lot for me, but have really never thought about having the kids collaborate with it. It’s so easy to use. I could see having them write and illustrate ( or add images) to create a book collaboratively.
Creativity - I looked at Crayola Color Alive for the ipad. I have 6 ipads in my first grade room, so I’m trying to find good apps. Very cool! Kids could create along or with a partner and then write about it.
Critical Thinking-I explored Ideament. I’ve never heard of it but I really think it looks useful for so many different curriculum areas. It lets you easily make diagrams, word or idea webs, charts…
Organization-Flikr I looked at a used (a bit) Flikr years ago but had kind of forgotten about it. It looks like a really easy way to organize photos and videos. I can see this be useful for me personally, professionally, and for the kids to use.
