Wolfram Alpha: https://www.wolframalpha.com/
The introduction of Wolfram|Alpha defined a fundamentally new paradigm for getting knowledge and answers—not by searching the web, but by doing dynamic computations based on a vast collection of built-in data, algorithms and methods.
Bringing broad, deep, expert-level knowledge to everyone… anytime, anywhere.
Wolfram Alpha is basically a powerful web based search and knowledge engine. It does the analysis for you, contains useful data. For example, students can put an equation in and see the step by step process of how to solve it.
Prism: http://prism.scholarslab.org/
Prism is a tool for "crowdsourcing interpretation." Users are invited to provide an interpretation of a text by highlighting words according to different categories, or "facets." Each individual interpretation then contributes to the generation of a visualization which demonstrates the combined interpretation of all the users. We envision Prism as a tool for both pedagogical use and scholarly exploration, revealing patterns that exist in the subjective experience of reading a text.
Verso: http://versoapp.com/
If you’ve ever stood in front of a class of students and wished the quiet ones would weigh in with a response, here’s a tool designed to give even the most reluctant learner a voice. Verso Learning has introduced the Verso app, which activates learning using authentic student voice as a driver for deeper, personalized learning design. The Verso app gives teachers the ability to create a challenge (inquiry-based learning activity) from audio, video, images —and embed content easily from other sources (YouTube, Vimeo, Dropbox, URL). Teachers can add questions and instructions to a challenge and reveal each student’s thinking. Students participate anonymously, and each response invites further discussion by classmates. This discussion presents authentic feedback in which students are required to submit their own ideas before gaining access to other responses. Teachers can measure students’ understanding and engagement, and can view participation data that shows quantity and quality of student engagement. Use of the app encourages collaboration, critical thinking and scaffolds learning into more challenging assignments. Perfect for project-based learning and “flipped” classrooms.
Design deep learning activities, students have anonymity, however the teacher can who is who. Students cannot see other students work until they submit therefore they are not influenced by others.

Rocket Science 101 is a free iPad app offered by NASA designed to help students understand how rockets work. The app also helps students understand the differences between the four types of rockets most frequently used by NASA. In Rocket Science 101 students can build all four rockets in a jigsaw-like activity then virtually launch their rockets. When the rockets are launched students see the timing of each stage of the launch from surface to orbit.
