There are so many apps , where do I start?

As many of you will know (and have experienced) there are just so many new apps to discover, use, take time over etc - and many of my colleagues have made great attempts to find a way to navigate through this veritable minefield of exciting (and not so exciting) 'apps' for your mobile devices. 

So, this part of this of the website is dedicated to the latest 'must see' , something that has caught my eye, looks really interesting or useful. 

If you are after something a bit more organised in your pursuit of apps - check out the following sites:

This is hosted by ADE Barbara Ainscough and I've been meaning to add it here for some time, Barbara keeps up to date (up to the minute at times!) on new developments in Education, pedagogy and ICT, well worth adding this to your RSS feeds....

Similarly with Julian Coultas, a lot of information here on collaborative work amongst other things... 

http://www.tme.ie/tablet-apps-in-education/

This is hosted by ADE Ciaran McCormack, the difference with his site being that each app has a mini walk through allowing you to preview cool apps quickly and decide whether they are worth spending some time over.

Hosted by ADE David Baugh this is a great place to find innovative technologies, apps and overall a lot of information on implementing these technologies in the classroom.
