Tuesday's iPad Tips VI

Remind101"Remind101 provides a safe way for teachers to text message students and stay in touch with parents. It is 100% free and is used by over 200,000 teachers, students and parents to send millions of messages every month."

Explain Everything ($2.99)
    can be used as an interactive whiteboard. "... let's you annotate, animate and narrate explanations and presentations." Check out this example on Youtube.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4JOsrEsyo0

     Noteshelf ($5.99)
      like Paper 53, but not so artsy and way more productivity-able (what's the word I want here :). I was told by an English teacher from Peel that with this app, you can create a notebook per student. You can put a custom cover on each notebook and access each from a virtual shelf. She uses the notebooks to collect assessment evidence (conversations, observations, anecdotes, photos of work, etc.) for each student. Unlike Paper 53, you can type, record audio and bring in photos.
