    Hi Kathy.
    I have actually published an iPad App, “iAnimate Collage”, you can use in your classroom with only one iPad. It is an animation App, very different from other animation apps for iPad. Simple and powerful in the same time. The iPad touch screen full worthy. Imagine your pupils studying Christopher Columbus. The talented painters will paint images about the subject, others will find suitable images on the internet about the subject. Some will write the story on their ordinary computers. Other will find or make suitable sounds on their ordinary computers or their smartphones. 
    Well. Now to the animation. Collect all the painted or found images, photoshop them to remove the white background and transfer the png files with alpha to the photo album on the iPad, by email or connection kit. Import it into “iAnimate Collage”, connect the iPad to a projector. Now you can move, rotate, scale, flip your chosen images. Every time you have made a change you will add a frame, a very quick way to make at cut out stop-motion animation. 
    Everybody in the classroom will have their turn and they will all follow and comment all the manipulations on the screen. After you have finished you will export the animation and it will show up in the photo album of the iPad as a movie. You can now open it in iMovie on iPad or transfer it to your regular computers to add text and sound. A wonderful all engaging proces. 

    Kind regards from Lisbeth, Dane, 56 years old and crazy with the iPad.

    P.S. If you do not have photoshop. There is a least one app for that. :-)

    Unfortunately, many schools cannot purchase 1 iPad per student.  Many times, teachers are purchasing one with their own money.  Please given some uses for a “ONE iPad CLASSROOM.  THANKS.

    Hi- on the 30 interesting ways to use an IPAD in the classroom slide show, drawing pad is mentioned as one of the apps having email and being useful to start young children blogging.  There are 6 apps displayed on the slide though, and I was wondering if you could tell me what the other apps are called?  Thanks.

    Hi Eloise
    I have only just discovered your comment so this might be out of date by now. I have a website that I use for schools with resources I make with teachers in the classroom, some of which are in special schools. These are page turning screen books. Some have words, others are just pictures. These came about as part of a project I was leading into confidence and audience in the classroom and in particular children taking ownership of their work. The main purpose of the books is to promote group discussion and develop vocabulary. Have a look through the books and see if this is the kind of resource you would find useful. If it is then I can let you have the software and the wherewithal to make your own for the simple ones or I can make the pop-up type for you for you. These books are currently only suitable for PC screens and IWB work but I am discussing ways to have them made readable on I Pad so if I have success there, then I will let you know. Reply to my email address – office@crystaleducation.co.uk
    Best wishes     Adrian Wood
