Morning all

Hi everyone

I cannot believe it is Sunday morning! The weekend has whisked away, but I have had my head in research land and am making progress. I have my other course, Curriculum Practice for Students At Risk almost clued up. Another couple of hours through the week and I will have my final paper completed!!! Yah. I have another blog to create for this course, so will take my research today and start plunking it in.

Apps for my iPad: I watched the Apps for Reluctant Writers Webinar yesterday. There were some great apps in there. A few that I had already, but the one that I like the most was the Docstogo app, as it has word, excel, etc in it. At $9.99, it is a tad expensive after purchasing quite a few apps already, but if I continue to use the iPod after my class, I will definitely purchase it as it is so handy.

Some other apps of interest:
• iThoughts (great graphic organizer that can transfer to PDF
• instant poetry
• strip designer (can create comics)
• writing toolkit app (guides you as you go along and provides definitions if required
about the writing process)
• storyteller
• story cubes
• language builder
• Flat Stanley
• story builder
• ABC Letter Tracing
• WritePad
• Speak it
• Voice level
• Dragon dictation
• Tikinotes
• Pictello
• Reel director (1.99) can capture video clips and here you can edit them
