If you are looking for apps to use with a classroom with limited iPad access, Venn Diagram is the app for you! This app can allow your classroom to create Venn Diagrams with ease and make them look good too! Imagine you have a room full of students and one iPad hooked up via a Apple TV. You could pass the iPad around and have students add their thoughts while everyone can see the changes made via the projector.

This app can also be used by individual students to create diagrams and then share them via email or as a jpg.

When I was a young lad, I remember rushing through my vocab test in Mrs. Slade's English class so that I could have the chance to fill out one of the Mad Lib's she would have available. This habit eventually lead to some not so great vocab test scores, but boy, could I rock out some pretty sweet adjectives on the spot!

Well, now you can introduce your classroom and students to a new version of Mad Libs via the free app, SparkleFish. SparkleFish offers five different themed Mad Libs that ask the student for a word type, which the student then records. Once they have completed all the words, it reads the story to them while adding their own recorded words. Students are psyched when they hear their own voice and are actually excited to learn about nouns and verbs!

A bonus part of this app is that it has a huge list of suggestions for all the nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc. Even struggling students can succeed at this app and create imaginative stories with ease!

Flowboard is a free iPad app that allows you to create presentations that are not only visually appealing but also interactive! Within the app you can select from several pre-made template designs or go hog-wild and create your own. One of the most beneficial additions to the app is the ability to search Google Images from within the app! You can also add images directly saved on your iPad, but using the built in search feature saves you the trouble of trying to use the multi-tasking between Flowboard and Safari. 

Once your Flowboard is completed it can be shared via the normal social media channels or via a URL and/or embed code. Flowboard can be a great way for students or yourself to create online content, presentations, and more! 

Below you can see a Flowboard example I created on the moon landing:

If you have ever wished to ditch your giant SMART Board for a new model, well Educreations makes is possible! Educreations is a iPad app the puts the power of a interactive projector in your hand. You can create presentations that show your writings/drawings and features your voice! All these presentations are stored online and can be made easily accessible via a URL or share it to your entire school, or heck, the world!

This app also makes having just a few iPads in your classroom a possibility. For example, a elementary reading teacher could create a store and then pass the iPad around. The students could record their voices over the top of each slide. Or a History teacher could place a picture of historical locations/people on each slide and then have students voice over why that place or person is important. 

Oh, did I also mention there are many pre-made Educreations you could share with students? Check out the gallery of pre-made presentations on Educreations.com

BONUS: Check out this Educreation my 4-year old son and I did titled: Robot vs Astronaut.

Remember the fun of rearranging those magnetic word poems on a friends fridge to make humorous sayings? Well the fun can continue with Word Mover for the iPad! Students can create separate accounts on one iPad to make poems using random words or input words you have instructed them too. Students can then save them as a photo, email them, or print them. 

This app could be used to help students form sentences, phrases, show understanding, or for the creative math teacher, word problems! 

Word Mover is from the National Council of Teachers of English, who are the same people who bring you the awesome website www.readwritethink.org. The app is also free!

MyScript Calculator allows you or a student to perform all the functions of a calculator using honest to goodness handwriting. 

Now you may be thinking, "I'll show this app, I am going to find the cosine of this hypotenuse triangle. No way can it do that." Well, you are mistaken!
