A Blooms Taxonomy for iPad Apps

Many schools are looking into ways of using iPads to support teaching and learning in their classrooms. But there are a wealth of apps out there, so it can be difficult to separate the good apps from the rubbish. Also, it would be good to get a range of different apps to support different aspects of learning.

To help with that, here are two websites that both evaluate many iPad apps and link them to the relevant areas of Blooms Taxonomy:

• Bloomsapps
• teachwithyouripad

Neither list is fully comprehensive, and will need constant updating to take into account new apps, but they are both really useful as a guide for teachers planning on using iPads in the classroom.

In a related activity, Kelly Tenkely created a similar chart to link many web2.0 tools to Blooms taxonomy, which you can find here.

Thanks to Glenn Wiebe at History Tech for the iPad links.
