Class Widgets - Custom Widgets for iBooks Author Integrating Technology in Education I can remember a time when we "went to the computer lab". I am SO thankful that this is not the case in my educational setting. Many people have viewed how we "use iPads in the classroom". From beginning to end, the students are ➽in and out of technology. ➽in and out of camera use. ➽in and out of the web. ➽in and out of a Google Form. ➽in and out of an iPad2 app. ➽in and out of a calculator. ➽in and out of collaborative whiteboard areas. ➽in and out of direct instruction. ➽in and out of an intellectual conversation with an adult. Partly viewed lesson on blog Videos of Today's Lesson (iPad2=No Play List-See Channel For Details) **Raw footage taken by me while teaching. Reflection: The lesson really went well because I am seeing how students use their tech tool of choice.

I love how iAnnotate PDF supports highlighting, adding notes to pages, and also freehand writing. On this day..
Leveraging the Power of Mobile Learning | Educator Resource Centers Mobile learning used to imply laptop computers. But now, with a host of new and more powerful mobile learning devices available (including tablets and smart phones, with all kinds of corresponding learning “apps”), the definition of “mobile learning” has expanded tremendously. This opens a new world of possibilities for extending the learning time for students, and making learning more participatory for them. For example, whereas with laptops you needed to be in range of a Wi-Fi network to get internet access, with a smart phone or tablet with wireless 3G connectivity you can get online from virtually anywhere. Yet, as the choices now available to schools have multiplied, so, too, have the questions and concerns. —The Editors Leveraging the Power of Mobile Learning Survey highlights changing teacher opinions on ed tech A new survey reveals evidence of a major shift in educators’ opinions regarding technology as an educational tool, which might be attributed to the increase in educator and…
quietube | Video without the distractions | Youtube, Viddler, Vimeo and more 7 Apps That Will Help You Use Your iPad For Writing Projects While each of us has our own particular needs, I’m sure one or more of these apps will serve your needs. So get ready to set up a folder on your tablet and download a useful collection of resources.

Private Journal If you’re a frequent journal writer, the application, Private Journal (iTunes Store Link) works very well for the iPad. While this app doesn’t have automatic syncing features, you can assign a passcode so no one else will have access to your most personal writings. WordPress

Beautiful web-based timeline software 100 iPad Tips and Tricks.pdf Educreations: DIY Whiteboard Video Tutorials on the iPad The new app from Educreations is available in the Apple App Store today (iTunes link). The app is designed to make it easy to create, narrate, and record whiteboard video tutorials on the iPad and to share them with others. A Web version of the startup's whiteboard app has been available for some time now, but it's the native app for an iPad that makes this sort of tool make sense -- it's so much easier to write on a whiteboard with the finger than it is with a mouse, if nothing else. Educreations is hardly the only app like this available for the iPad (I covered the very similar app ShowMe over on MindShift this summer, for example). But while Educreations' iPad app might be late to the whiteboard app market, its entry is a solid one. Educreations hosts the video creations themselves on educreations.com (helpful for schools that block YouTube), and teachers using the site can opt to share videos privately with a set group of students or share them publicly so anyone can see them.
