ipad apps for teaching and learningI am totally and completely thrilled to be the proud new owner of an iPad, thanks to Evo and eBay green!

An iPad was certainly not in our budget, though both my husband and I, as educators, do recognize the value in the device for our kids, for teaching and learning.ย  (And heck, let’s face it, for ourselves, too–for reading, shopping, organizing, gaming, and all that good stuff!)

So while I was at Evo Conference last week, speaking on a community-building panel with my pals Allison McDonald and Thien-Kim Lam, I jumped at the opportunity to win one of these rockin’ devices.ย  And to my complete and utter surprise, I won!

But now?

I’m a bit baffled.

I have this brand-new, totally amazing, state-of-the-art device, a tabula rasa.ย  And an overwhelming app store packed with games and resources for kids–sneaky teaching and learning at its best.ย  But I don’t know where to begin.

I need YOUR help!

Here’s the skinny. . .

  • Favorite iPad Apps for Teaching and Learning: Check out the latest piece on the teachmama.com channel for ways that YOU can help me–and many other parents out there!–in this iPad app search!

 


Huge thanks to eBay green–a component of eBay that encourages people to buy green, sell green, and think green every day.ย  eBay green was a sponsor of Evo and hosted a contest that encouraged us to create our own pinboards with earth-friendly elements.ย  I owe and incredible thanks to all of my pinterest followers, teachmama.com facebook fans, we teach facebook fans, and twitter followers for pinning, repinning, liking, and retweeting my totally cute pinboard.ย

Had THE BEST dinner at Olneyโ€™s newest restaurant, @saltvinemd โ€”

Our hostesses were kind and welcoming, our server was THE BEST, and food was delivered to our table by SUPER food runners. 

Everything we ordered we LOVED. Cannot wait to return. 

(Swipe to see what we ordered!)
