Sharing Australian Aboriginal Culture

<div>Australian Aboriginal culture has existed continuously for more than 40 000 years. They have developed sophisticated social organisations, complex legal systems and a numerous practices and ceremonies based around their Dreamtime beliefs. There is no way we could ever hope to capture all their knowledge of animal behaviour, or of the seasons and bush tucker that each one brings. For that matter we will never know the full extent of the geographical, ecological or land management skills that these communities possess but at least some of them are documenting different aspects of their culture for future generations. Here are a number of apps that introduce students to both their oral story telling tradition and their traditional languages. Enjoy!<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fBlmVckVsYUuSLp8KnOCY6TTxrxmfxK7BUdQsGXY9aB2kd94FN6w69XH37whftW6z9p0Y10CAAd6wwhMRtTpPnY7XOp-F44qW11vstcJFM-db0WsMzIScJerVBjrOn01qH-lwuI_f1o/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-30+at+1.46.56+pm.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="120" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6fBlmVckVsYUuSLp8KnOCY6TTxrxmfxK7BUdQsGXY9aB2kd94FN6w69XH37whftW6z9p0Y10CAAd6wwhMRtTpPnY7XOp-F44qW11vstcJFM-db0WsMzIScJerVBjrOn01qH-lwuI_f1o/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-30+at+1.46.56+pm.png" width="120" /></a></div><b style="font-family: Helvetica;">Ngurrara - Australian Aboriginal Storybook: FREE</b></div><div>Ngurrara follows the journeys of three young Australian Aboriginal Ngarluma men as they fish, hunt and carve their own stories.

Editing Video on your iPad

Making movies on the iPad is one of those activities that I often see in schools. I love to watch how quickly even very young students can produce a professional looking movie. It is a great way for them to illustrate what they have learnt. Normally I would say that editing movies on the iPad is best done using iMovie but it is not exactly cheap, especially if you have a raft of other apps you want your students to have. Here are a couple of apps for editing movies that do not cost the earth. Many of these apps also contain features found on the more expensive apps.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UFwgW5IWJAiPuEaTQhv5bWF49TVp86MrZoB00wEkbXI8ok0wNxoDlQl4bW69IYutR-TCDqYOO4GdXcPQRJimlzChRbpxymXb7lCg04V88hVJp3Rh81IEVvxPd_42dWO5dqfUabgNjag/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-28+at+5.45.41+pm.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="120" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7UFwgW5IWJAiPuEaTQhv5bWF49TVp86MrZoB00wEkbXI8ok0wNxoDlQl4bW69IYutR-TCDqYOO4GdXcPQRJimlzChRbpxymXb7lCg04V88hVJp3Rh81IEVvxPd_42dWO5dqfUabgNjag/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-28+at+5.45.41+pm.png" width="120" /></a><b>Magistro: FREE</b><br />Magisto is a fun and easy way to automatically edit videos and photos and share them with your friends and family.

Visual Timers for your iPad Classroom

Students do not always have a great sense of time and many of my students over the years have miscalculated the time remaining on a particular task or assessment piece. This is a skill that they develop over time but not without some devastating consequences. These visual timers are exceptionally good for visual learners but work just as well for all the students in your class. Start to generate better time management in your class with the use of one or more of these visual timers.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgxPYE9OqzleXvjg6YfgkGLVlHwt04dZY7e_p7pglAS0a1l6wrmIWbK-49zupfghs0-_jR8wVAzvUzwSwHXlTuSRYau93YKxuWmukAHjTN237i-HfD5FzbG5wjRw4YOgkj5GqPqj1-n0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-26+at+8.47.21+am.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="120" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUgxPYE9OqzleXvjg6YfgkGLVlHwt04dZY7e_p7pglAS0a1l6wrmIWbK-49zupfghs0-_jR8wVAzvUzwSwHXlTuSRYau93YKxuWmukAHjTN237i-HfD5FzbG5wjRw4YOgkj5GqPqj1-n0/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-01-26+at+8.47.21+am.png" width="120" /></a></div><b>Visual: $0.99 AU</b><br />Visual is a visual countdown timer.
