Smartphones are all about the Apps. I've found the best way to find out what the best apps are is to ask other smartphone users. The same holds true for finding the apps to make teaching more effective and to connect with our students. This session is all about instructor apps: the programs and applications we as instructors use to create a superior learning experience for students. For an app to qualify as a top app it must be easy to use, enhance a student's learning experience and be free or inexpensive. In this session you will see instructor apps in action and be told how your fellow instructors use them. On the list of apps to be demoed include, ZoomIt, Jing, SlideintoWord, Picture Import Wizard (for PowerPoint), Snipping Tool, SnagIT, SnagIT's Editor OneNote, LiveMesh and Groove. Fellow instructors are invited to share their top apps with fellow instructors.
