Slideshow+HD

Slideshow+HD is a useful app which allows users to create short slideshows using their photos on their iPad. You can add in effects from a limited range and you can use music from your iTunes account to accompany the slideshow. One word of warning though, if you upload to YouTube you need copyright free music or you cannot share your video. I created this one straight after downloading the app in around five minutes and I am sure that with more practice it could be a reasonable slideshow. Check out my first attempt! I am sure that students could use this in the classroom.

Phoster

Phoster is an app that let’s you create posters from a variety of templates. you could easily use these in the classroom as well as for promotions etc. Great fun too. The hard part is deciding which of the many choices to stick with.
Here’s an example.

iPad app

Well, I have got my WordPress app up and running on the iPad so I can now blog directly from wherever I am (with the pad of course!)
One of the things I’m most interested in is portable devices like the iPad and iPhone. They have the potential to alter the way we teach and learn, especially as more apps become available for teachers and students.
Certainly the blogging apps like this one and the blogger one for google users are very handy. I also really like the Posterous one that allows you to upload images from webpages to your Posterous account.
There are also lots of great newsreaders, and my favorite is Pulse so far. You can customize the news that feeds in and even create your own feed which follows all of your favorites. TheFlipboard app also deserves a mention. It’s fairly new and allows you to hook up to Twitter and Facebook as well as lots of other caves and you can read it all just like a magazine. Facebook has honestly never looked so good.
