YuJa

YuJa is a new site that is ideal for upper education (HS/College) for educators to "house" their classroom content in a safe environment.  Basically, YuJa is a LMS (learning management system) where teachers can host real-time discussions, poll students, send out text messages, and best of all send out video broadcasts on any topic.  This is ideal for the flipped classroom model where learning takes place outside the classroom.

Tackk

Tackk is a excellent site that reminds me a lot of Glogster or Smore for creating stunning presentations.  This is a very user-friendly site that allows users to create a static page for free by simply just typing and adding types of content (video, audio, images, links, etc.)  I recommend registering as a user otherwise a "Tackk" will delete after 7 days.  Best of all, a finished project can be  shared via a unique URL or embedded into a site/blog.

Here are some educational examples of Tackk in use... http://tackk.com/board/Educationhttp://tackk.com/board/Education

MarcoPolo Ocean

MarcoPolo Ocean is a wonderful iPad app for young learners wanting to learn and build their own ocean.  This interactive narrated app covers 5 ocean concepts such as: coral reef, marine mammals, fish, boat, and submarine.  MP Ocean is a very user-friendly app that has kids drag
ging and dropping pieces of a puzzle to create an animated object (i.e. fish, boat, etc), control a submarine through an ocean, feeding fish, and other engaging activities.

PlayCornerTV

PlayCornerTV is a wonderful mobile (iOS/Android) app that filters YouTube videos so only educational videos show up.  This is a great way to eliminate all inappropriate content that can be found on YouTube as well as give a visual interface for kids who are to young or have trouble reading.  Different videos that come up are: animals, characters, and educational concepts such as, Math, Shapes, Alphabet, etc.  Also, there are Parental Controls that allows them to block or control what videos a student/child can see.

Champs of Numeria

Champs of Numeria is an excellent mobile (Android/iOS) Math for practicing basic Math (i.e. division, addition, etc.) skills.  This multi-player app has students ages 4 on up competing against one another (or computer) to solve equations on a board full of numbers trying to "Connect Four".  Finally, there are up to 9 different characters to select from and 3 different difficulty levels to master.

Learningpod

Learningpod is a new site that I just learned about from Richard Byrne's excellent blog.  This is a great site for finding educational questions on any number of subjects.  Students can use this to prepare for a test and even search by test type (ACT, SAT, etc).  Best of all, the questions all come w/ explanation to the multiple choice answers.

Drawp for School

Drawp for School is an excellent free iPad app for creating digital art.  This app has an easy to use interface that allows students draw, paint, color, etc to creating stunning pieces of art.  Best of all is the educational portal that allows educators to create/manage student accounts as well as the ability for students to "hand-in" assignments via the cloud.  This is a fantastic app to use for any subject or curriculum.
