I discovered Nearpod at a technology conference last year and it may be one of the neatest apps for instruction that I have stumbled upon in quite a while.

Install the app on your iPad or you may install the app into your Google Chrome web browser from the Chrome Store. Create a Teacher Account. Have students/others install the app on their smart phone.

Go to nearpod's store and purchase or download free presentations. Once you open the presentation your are assigned a pin #. Distribute that pin to the class and have them enter it after opening their nearpod app. Be prepared for the excited response of having students, as they follow along with the lesson and engage in live feedback. What a great new way to present!

Air Server

Air Server is a great software that allows one to mirror his/her iPad screen. As an educator, I have found this to be a great tool for introducing apps to staff and students, as well as presenting other forms of media. You can find the app at http://www.airserverapp.com/

AnswerGarden

AnswerGarden is a great site for collecting online opinions, brainstorming or collecting other forms of feedback quickly. Check out the site at http://answergarden.ch/ 

I think you'll like it.

VideoDropper

This is a great website for those who have a Dropbox account. Now you can pull YouTube videos off the Web and store your favorites in your Dropbox. Go to http://videodropper.ep.io/ and enter the YouTube video address, then begin the download process. Later, you will see the video appear in your Dropbox.

Biodigital Human

There are so many websites and apps available for free on the Web, but some of the most useful can get lost in the shuffle. BioDigital Human (https://www.biodigitalhuman.com/)is a fantastic interactive website that may be used to identify a 3D diagram of every system in the human body. If you have Google Chrome, it may also be downloaded as an app to your web browser. Isn't Chrome great!

3DToad.com

This may be one of the coolest websites that I have stumbled on for quite some time. 3DToad.com has several 360 degree views ranging from disections to guitar chords. To make things even more interesting, they offer 3D toggle view. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like all one needs is a pair of 3D glasses and the images become even more lifelike.
