Educational Apps For iPad

Wicklowleaid

Hi All,
Our first years have started with iPads this year and am wondering if any of you use them and could recommend some good apps for teaching junior cert maths, science and leaving cert physics? Or general education ones might same me some time trawling the Internet here! Thanks in advance

Hi,

If you have the time, apple have sort of done an answer to your question here:

You probably know already that most of these are designed with the US education system in mind. If you go into, say, math you can go to algebra/calculus for example which is appropriate for JC students doing maths.

These are the apps recommended to me.....

For teacher to use;
Evernote
Dropbox
Explain everything (you can record and annotate things and it will be played back for others to watch- might be useful for maths instead of repeating writing up the same equations again and again record and play the back)
Pages
Keynote
Teacher kit

Students to use;
Realcalc (scientific calculator and converter)
Numbers ( bar charts and graphs)
Mocks.ie have an app too where you can view past papers and sample answers so it would be handy too!


That's all I can think of maths/science related the minute hope it helps! If you look at edudemic.com they give lists for apps in education so you could try there for more ideas!
