I cannot begin to impress upon teachers the power new devices have in education. My latest favorites are iPod touch apps. I have found several that are powerful tools benefiting all learners of all levels.
The first app I am going to share is Wolfram Alpha. Wolfram Alpha is a powerful online computational knowledge engine. It is different from standard Search engines as it's "goal is to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable and accessible to everyone." This site generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base, instead of searching the Web and returning links. The Web site by itself is amazing, but to then make it available as a mobile app....empowering! When referencing anytime, anywhere learning, this is the resource to have at your fingertips.
Watch the following video to get a better idea of the power of this tool.
