Kinda pricey, but consider that you buy this once and you never have to buy lesson plan books again. The ipad has been out for 2 years now and this is the first Lesson Plan App that even comes close to being in the “I could really use that.” So if your are lookinf or a Lesson Plan A, this might just be the one.
Filling up the waning hours of the school year with meaningful, helpful lessons can be a challenge. Never fear, EduDemic is to the rescue. We’ve come up with dozens of lessons, trips, and creative ways to engage students from elementary school to high school.

The Texas Afterschool Centers on Education™ (ACE™) program administered by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) has launched the Texas ACE Activity Collection, a database designed to help build capacity of out-of-school-time practitioners to deliver high-quality activities to students and families across Texas and the nation.
This database, available at TexasACE21.org provides out-of-school-time practitioners with a venue to search through a collection of activities and lesson plans using a variety of search criteria (e.g. topics, objectives, etc.). This database allows users to download activities and lesson plans and modify them to meet their specific program needs. All lessons are aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standards and include standards for the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, English language proficiency and Texas College and Career Readiness.
Google Apps are being used in schools more an more, I suspect it is related to the fact that they are FREE. But alsoe becasue they are pretty darn good. At this point, I use iWork (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) and Google Docs. I do have MS Office on my computer but can’t remember the last time it was opened. I am due for a new laptop this summer at work and I will not have MS Office put on that new one. I just don’t need it.
Check out all the lesson plans at http://www.google.com/a/help/intl/en/edu/lesson_plans.html. I am sure it will give you some ideas about how you could also make the jump to cloud apps. You can search by Product, subject and grade level. This is a very rich resource.
I am using Google Apps in my pre-service Tech class this semester a great deal. I was inspired by a book, Retool Your School: The Educator’s Essential Guide to Google’s Free Power Apps.Available in print and eBook format. I have both and love the copy in iBooks on my iPad.
“Retool Your School begins with an inspirational and achievable story that illustrates how Google Applications and good leadership transformed a school facing closure to one that in just one year is seen as a model of success. The book then dives into step-by-step directions on how to use multiple applications, detailing the benefits they provide to many aspects of education and school management. More than 40 lesson plans for elementary, middle, and high school will help you get started while the books many ideas and supplemental resources show how to implement these tools to transform communication, collaboration, and creativity in your school and classroom. Don’t miss the special chapter on how to bring Google Applications Education Edition directly to your school or district.”
