Did you know...

There is now a DOCS App, SLIDES (really good) and SHEETS app for iPad

Example- the SLIDES app loads the slides faster than with the web iPad app. Jerry found when using Airserver to the Mac- it would change the formatting and view of the images etc. The SLIDES iPad app  very consistent.

Tech issues projecting iPad

Some troubles with projecting from the iPad or iPhone even with the dongle.  Apparently it doesn't have the power to shoot all the way to the projector. Phil has experimented with a signal booster  from Amazon and has had SUCCESS!

You can check it out from the library!

Tuesday April 29

Nice Meeting for Tech Tuesday today!

Here are some cool things we talked about today:

MoveNote- great Chrome extension that activates Camera and displays docs, ppt or images while you narrate. stores video on site and gives you a URL to share.

Vigil and I used it for student preso (see example) so that they could share their assessment Kiosk/museum style with other students.

Also available as an app from google play or itunes for iPad, iPhone or Tablet

Great for flipped/blended classroom model for google extensions, also an APP
*will get Hyperlink for iTunes and website soon.

Cam Scanner - lite (suggested by Chris!)

scan documents and select a portion of it, crop it, enhance it to get rid of background

share documents

Chris suggests: What if a student scans their homework, cleans it with camscanner, shares with with you in google drive.

Inkflow… Kate G

note taking tool- but with cool enhancements

select text, move it make it bigger, attach to something else.

penultimate - Kloster

note taking tool

How to view and edit your docs

smart office  Kloster

if you need offline access to

allow you to word process even on your phone

Google docs APP

see and edit your google docs

Haiku Deck- Kate -

Presentation tool-

Kate G uses it for art pieces, easy to upload images, can put text in, has a presenter mode shows what you have uploaded...turn it sideways (portrait mode) and the slide you display is shown with your notes below. Very cool. Kate can send to projector through Air Share and walk around class to present. Can’t embed video. Links online with account...can access and share with students.

March 4th!

Nice meeting today where we discussed the use of iPads in classrooms, and what cool things folks are doing with them.

Nearpod- can broadcast to student iPads and Smart Phones. Can send ppts, questions, freeze screen etc. Nice for when we want to push information.

Google chat and forms in Jerry's Photo class as a discussion piece. (Ask Jerry for more info)

Air-Share- Jerry had another log in on his sign in, so Josh W is going to try to do some wireless sharing from his iPad to his Mac (docs, camera, etc) Will update us next time.

There are currently 16 modules in the Learning Tech Plan CLASSES web site. Classes include iPad Basics, Flipped Classroom, iPad as Planner etc. There are even Face to Face classes that mirror the online...here is the link to the iPad Basics (March 19&20) in SVVSD PD.

Here is a link to a nice article about the classes from Zac Chase. You can take 4 online courses (about 2 hrs each) for .5 credit

For more information about the Learning Tech Plan Visit their web site!

Did I forget anything? :)

It's Cold!

Need some more good ideas?

Try visiting Jennifer Peyrot's post on the district technology site. Talking streaming via AirServer, short cuts for the iPad and more.

Know you all are busy- so that's it for this week! See you for our last Tech Tuesday 12/17!

Josh Rocks Aurasma!

Tuesday 11/5

Josh W. Showed us how he is using his iPad to hover over an image of a math problem to trigger a tutorial/coaching video on how to do the math problem.

So- he had a math problem that he had to explain several times...so he created a homework support video the iPad app Explain Everything .

Then, he opened Aurasma and uploaded the video to his library. He hovered the camera over the image he wanted to trigger and positioned the Explain Everything video on that.

Once the user follows Josh's profile, any android or iPhone/iPad user can hover over the image, and in Harry Potter like fashion- the tutorial video appears. The user can tap on the video and it goes full screen where they can watch to it's completion. VERY COOL.

Make sure to ask Josh for a demo!

Air Server- send iPad image to your MAC

10/29

Jerry and Kate have been streaming an image from their iPad to their Mac's using Air Play

We think air server- $12 for education (7 day free)

Jerry is going to contact DTS (Erick Black & Michelle) who are currently doing pilot. Jerry did contact them and DTS says this probably won't happen any time soon.

Westview/Coal Ridge schools are also currently playing with this.

Can install one license on three machines, so Jerry is going to try it. They have 2 macs in the ART Dept. and are going to try it out for a bit.

It is pretty cool- you can use your iPad to stream directly to your Mac and move around the room. NICE!
