Apps Apps Apps
Now that we have the Ipads what will we do with them. Below are three free apps that may be useful in your classroom.
Flick - Free
It’s hassle free! Place photos, notes, documents and contacts onto your Flicktop and flick to any other device running the app. The built-in Flicktop provides a safe layer where files are easily transferred with a simple flick gesture. Once the file lands on your Flicktop you can then decide whether to save or delete it.
Puffin Web Browser Free - Free
Puffin Free is the free version of the Puffin family and supports Adobe Flash over cloud during "off-peak hours" from 8AM to 4PM

Cooperative Learning - Barrie Bennett
A great teaching resource for incorporating cooperative learning into all grade levels. Includes multiple assessment forms and step-by-step processes for each of the five cooperative learning components.
The Tiffin- Mahtab Narsimhan
The "dabbawallas "of Mumbai deliver box lunches " called "tiffins " " to white collar workers all over the vast city. They are legendary for their near-perfect service: for every six million lunches sent, only one will fail to reach its intended destination. "The Tiffin "is about that one time in millions when a box goes astray, changing lives forever.
Divergent - Veronica Roth
In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue--Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives.
