Three ring is a free app for digitalizing and organizing student work. Students and teachers take pictures of student work, upload to the free app and you know have a record of their work. For more information go to threering.com Here is a great article about Three Ring: [] (I used Screencast by Jing to make a screen cast of a Three Ring student example [|http://www.screencast.com])

Nearpod Best way to explain Nearpod is to show you a video. media type="youtube" key="IspEB1nutG0" height="315" width="560" To use Nearpod, you will need a the teacher app on one iPad and the student app on another iPad. You can create lessons via the website at nearpod.com. I would explore this website to learn more. You will need to create a free account on their website. Once that is done, there are videos and guides to help you along.

Slideshow Builder I was using the Slideshow Builder Free app, but it is limited to how many slides you can use. So I went ahead and bought the full version for $1.99. I think the free version is fine for most assignments, but we were creating a big project for our Trumpet of the Swan book report and ran out of slides. media type="youtube" key="B9rJbSAPiSs" height="315" width="560"

Prezi We are using Prezi for many different kinds of presentations. I like to think of it as a fancy PowerPoint. You make the Prezi on the web and then you can view it on the Prezi viewer app. Here is an example of a student-led conference using the iPad and Prezi.
