# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Luhtala has also noticed some app fatigue among her colleagues. If they are using something that works well, they'll probably stick with it, even if another slightly better product comes along. Learning is hard and change is even harder, so once teachers have found a tool that meets their learning goals, they are unlikely to shift without a good reason.

"It's hard to get the teachers on board with this at all, so to say we're going to do it differently next year is a tough sell," Luhtala said.

The list of apps that educators favor this year shares some commonalities with last year's favorites. Teachers tend to drop apps if they become too expensive or sometimes if the updates are so overwhelming that they no longer know how to use the product. Luhtala explained it's a delicate balance: "If it doesn't feel different than it did a year ago, that's alarming. It should feel the same, but better."

The repeat apps that have made it to this favorite list added functionality without doing so too quickly. They also tend to target younger students -- high school students mostly use their phones for personal computing and their laptops for school. The emphasis in the higher grades is still on reading and typing -- teachers give students fewer opportunities to express their learning in creative ways, so the tools of choice tend to be basic. High school kids use Google Apps because they can easily collaborate.
APPS TO ACQUIRE INFORMATION APPS THAT HELP MAKE MEANING
The apps in this section help organize or share information that students or teachers have already found. "This is when we start shifting the knowledge around and owning it," Luhtala said. "It's not just ingesting knowledge, it's manipulating it."

Evernote and Notability: Both these apps are often mentioned. Evernote is free and cross-platform, but tends to compartmentalize. Notability has a charge associated with it ($1.99 per download) and is only for iPads. However, that allows it to integrate elements of Apple apps into the experience. Luhtala's sophomore students experimented with both apps and liked Notability better for school work. Luhtala believes the apps could have separate purposes, and users don't have to choose one or the other.

ClassDojo: This tool is a fun and easy way to keep track of student behavior, allowing teachers to take attendance quickly and give positive or negative reinforcement, depending on a child's actions that day. Each student gets a critter and some teachers find it very effective. It works on iPhones and iPads, as well as Android phones and the Web. It is free.
KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER APPS
"Kids have ingested information, they've found ways to manipulate the information, and now they are ready to create something," Luhtala said.

Adobe Slate: While similar to its competitor Microsoft Sway, some educators reported this presentation tool to be more engaging. "When I did this webinar a year ago, I didn't feel there was a presentation tool that worked for me," Luhtala said. "Now there are." Adobe Slate works on iPads and is free. Microsoft Sway is free and Web-based.

Thanks to the efforts of Team Mexico to help Spanish Speaking Teachers we have been able to redesign and update yet again the Padagogy Wheel. VERSION 5.0 is now published and not only is it now available for both the Apple iOS and ANDROID but it has more Bloom's resources and 180+ apps for each platform. We are updating all languages as quickly as we can. Please visit the Blog Post "The Padagogy Wheel English V5" to download the posters

PLEASE NOTE: Earlier Versions are no longer available

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT JAN 2016

We have just learned that the APPitic website has gone offline and will no longer be maintained. This means the majority of the links on Version 4.0 of the Padagogy Wheel no longer work. We have now released The Padagogy Wheel V4.1 ENGLISH Version with 126 Updated Apps now linked back to the Apple iTunes store. Also there are more activities in the Blooms Taxonomy and new teaching on "Getting the best use out of the Padagogy Wheel". Please download a new version on the same links below
The Padagogy Wheel visual places the idea of motivation and capabilities at the center, which gets at one of its more compelling characteristics as a model - the meshing of technology, thinking, and student motivation. Many of the failures in #edtech are failures in #edtech integration, and frameworks like the Padagogy wheel attempt to clarify the relationship between "big picture" elements. Seeing the pieces-tablets, apps, learning goals, cognitive actions, etc.-and how they work together is everything. Without that vision, any bit of #edtech is limp and lifeless.
Extracted from te@chthought blog post: The Big Picture Of Education Technology: The Padagogy Wheel published 12 Dec 2014

When the above quote was published I was excited. It is such a succinct explanation of what the Padagogy Wheel is trying to achieve. It has been 2 years since V3 was published and over a 100,000 copies of the PDF poster have been downloaded from this blog, I am truly honoured by the interest in the model. Two years is a long time in the development of technology enhanced education and tablet app development has come a long way. It is time for the next generation of the Padagogy Wheel. Today V4.0 goes public.... yeeess!

How it Happened

I have been trying to find a better way to find apps and manage the resources on how to use them. V4 became possible when I discovered a web resource developed by fellow Apple Distinguished Educators (ADEs) APPitic.com is a extremely useful resource for educators wanting to improve their teaching using mobile devices. I want to publicly thank them for their hard work and making V4 so much easier to update.

What's New on the PDF Poster?

Is it much different? It sure is.

Links to twice as many apps: It has direct links to 122 of the latest and most popular educational iPad apps.

App selection criteria: to help teachers make better app decisions These also are linked to the APPitic website and each Bloom's Cognitive Domain Category has comprehensive selection criteria. Prompts asking the teacher to think how the app would help the user achieve the domain activities.

Each domain activity linked to apps: (that's wheel 5 from the core) is linked to a group of apps considered most useful to enhance good outcomes.

The SAMR model wheel better communicates the idea. This might seem a small addition but I have added two way arrows around the wheel. I hope this helps teachers understand that the idea is to virtually align the SAMR model with the Bloom's category they are working with. The idea is once one or more apps are chosen then think Redefinition if possible. Just keep in focus that the SAMR wheel is meant to spin. It also has a link to a great video from Dr P. as we call him in the ADE community (Dr Ruben Puentedura) who invented the SMAR model, that's also worth watching.

The QR codes have been updated: and provide a great way to connect the "treeware" (aka printed) poster to online resources. Every mobile device should have a QR reader App .... they are free as well. The email QR code is particularly cool in it sets up an email to me in your email program and even gives it a subject line and says "Hi Allan".

Information available in 19 languages: This is the most exciting new feature to me and it is again thanks to the hard work of the APPitic team. So if one of these languages is your heart language, and not English, you can research the app and the pedagogical resources in your first language. Now that opens up help to a lot more teachers. Of course the challenge is to get a padagogy wheel in the same 19 languages ... anyone like to help.

NEW PEDAGOGY JUST ADDED: Immersive Learning at the core of the wheel is the New Instructional Design. Simulations are the most effective pedagogy to develop graduate attributes and capabilities in learners, as well as address motivation. Linked to the new Padagogy Wheel are Immersive Learning Resources which will help you design an build engaging experienced-based immersive scenarios.

There are Two Choices for Downloading the V4.1 Poster

1. A screen version lower resolution and smaller file size (1.5 mb) of The Padagogy Wheel V4 Poster Low Res

2. A higher resolution version for using to print as an A3 (or even A2) size hard copy poster (5.2 mb). The Padagogy Wheel V4 Poster for Printing

The poster has been completely redesigned and is now available for download as a an Acrobat PDF and the electronic version has over 125 links to online resources. It has also been designed to be printed into hard copy as an A3 or even A2 sized poster. Great on the wall of staff locations ... at least that's what many school districts have told me. 🙂 To help teachers understand the significance of V4 here is a 11 min audio narrated presentation on the "evolution" of the Padagogy Wheel and how to use it. I hope you find it useful.

Please let me know how you are using the wheel by using the comments below or contacting me on twitter (@allanadl) We are now planning V5 to include lesson plans and examples of how apps are used to get the redefinition of task and help transformational learning. We are planning for this to be an App, but we need your help with examples of best practice. Please contact me
