This is a brilliant resource that I have been using for years! Make Mindmaps on your iPad. These are easy to produce and are interactive as I will try to explain.
Are they useful? Well every May/June this is what I see the pupils stream down to exams carrying.

APP of THE MONTH! INSPIRATION MINDMAPS

16/3/2020

0 Comments

 
I quite simply LOVE this app! I have used it for years and I know it gets results.
It has been estimated that Mindmaps can make revision and recall between 10 and 35% more effective! They are ideal for breaking down big topics and for creating organisation and structure to content. Certainly when it comes to exam days there mindmaps are what I see my students carry and generally their results prove its success. This costs about £10 but is a huge investment.

Using Google Earth to enhance lessons

This is one of my favourite apps and is a gem to use in the classroom. This allows your class to fly directly to the places they are learning about - the forests in Amazonia .. and the destruction of deforestation. The scenes of favourite books. The castles and battlefields of history. The sites of famous paintings. This little video shows how to use this to enhance lessons.

PIXOMATIC: A great app for editing your photos

PIXOMATIC 

Picture
This is an app that I have used for over two years and I LOVE it!  It is an easy to use photo editor.  You can use it to simply cut around an image and then replace the background. 

HOW CAN I USE THIS IN THE CLASSROOM?
The students love nothing better than to make a story come to life by participating. 

The app allows them to take a photo of themselves, perhaps using props to dress up. They can then simply cut around their own image and switch the background to one they have saved such as a medieval balcony for Romeo and Juliet or a Synagogue or Mosque for R.E 
As you can see this is fabulous when combined with other apps like Comic Life. 
There is a free version to this app and a PRO version. I did go on to buy the Pro version and I have used it regularly ever since.
