 * Explain Everything || This app is a type of whiteboard tool that allows participants to annotate, animate, narrate, import and export their work.

The teacher will need to know how to navigate the app in order to assist students || in addition to viewing problem solving methods in workbook teachers can hear the language students are using and process of correctly working out questions || Band || The App allows students to explore various types of musical instruments and their sounds. Students are able to explore musical concepts and compose their own song. The App allows students to record their own voices if students want to add in vocals to their composition. || Using the App students are then able to create a written component of their composition. Students learn about the musical notes and notate their songs. || Students can be assessed on the basic knowledge of musical notes and presentation of composition. ||
 * Calm Counter || A visual and audio tool to help people calm down when they are angry or anxious. The app includes a social story about anger, and audio/visual tools for calming down. || As this app is designed for students with special needs to assist them if they feel angry or anxious, it would only be used as needed. Making the student(s) aware of the app and giving them the option to use it whenever they need it is one option, as is directing students to use the app if they haven’t done so independently. || Has the student calmed down after? Has the frequency of use increased/decreased over time? Have students learnt to use the app before their behaviour escalated further? ||
 * Book Creator || This app allows students to work individually, in small groups or as a whole class to construct their own story. Illustration and photos can be added, and upon completion you are able to read the book by flicking the pages. These books can be exported and stored in iBooks for future reference. || Students can draft their own story in their writing book, and then publish it using Book Creator.Teacher can deconstruct a whole class story, and focus on particular aspects of the book, ie. The title page. || Review the students story to ensure correct grammar, creativity, etc. Teacher will need to construct their own marking rubric to assess the students work. ||
 * Garage Band || The app allows students to create a song using a range of instruments and their voices. They simply tap on the instruments to make the noises that they desire. || This app could be used in a stage 2, year 3 lesson, in the unit of work ‘sound’. This app could be used as a fast finishers task, or perhaps made more formal, being a form of group work that can be assessed for both music and science outcomes. || Students can present their songs to the class as a form of assessment, or alternatively, the teacher can assess student songs individually. ||

 * Sock Puppets || This app uses puppets to use as people. You select sock characters and backgrounds to set scene. Using simple recording techniques you can give a voice to the character. This can be one character or up to 6 (I think). These can have a conversation that you create. || This app could be used across all KLA’s. This could be used to discuss/present researched information.Just need to be aware that students do stay on task and do not get carried away doing silly things. || Assessment can be done by assessing the content that has been presented. ||
 * Eddie HD || Help the Koloa to reach the top of the tree by answering mathematical questions (addition and subtraction – ES1/S1) || This would be used in group rotations for individual work || Assessment would be through observation when students are using iPads. ||
 * Sock Puppets || Allows you choose scenery and sock puppet characters. Then you can record your voice and the sock puppets will talk. || Could use on any stage, as a way of presenting what they have learnt. || You can save the videos on the app, or share via you tube. ||
