The fun stuff is always at the end, it seems. I love 3D Brain. Gotta share it. The dictionary app is right up my alley. I love all that comes with it. However, I stopped at deleting my old Merriam Webster app on my phone because I like that it pronounces words, too. That's sometimes why I even use a dictionary while reading.
I have looked at and told one of my sons about artCircles and B-Rhymes. What teen/artist wouldn't love these?
Okay, I failed my first test in Spanish on Duolingo, but what a cool app this is. I will certainly make sure to pass it on to world language teachers who don't already know about it. The same goes for Science 360.
I think Khan Academy, TED Talks, and Google Earth are certainly worth sharing with folks who aren't already using them. My school is getting a huge influx of iPads this fall, so even though many of these are somewhat common to a lot of people, they may not be to all.
Mostly I'm left with the thought that perhaps teaching people how to discover new apps is like "teaching a man to fish." It is probably a more important skill than passing on cool new apps, because you'll never win this one, no matter how hard you try. It sure is fun, though!!!
