Apple TV In The Classroom – The New Smart Board

Apple TV In The Classroom – The New Smart Board
An iPad and Apple TV can combine to provide an advantageous alternative to more expensive, traditional interactive white boards. Guest writer and High School Principal David Mahaley is using this approach and offers his insights, and observations from educators in his school. With the integration of the iPad into the instructional environment, teachers and students have discovered many new ways in which the device can expand and enhance the learning environment. As a school administrator and teacher, I have explored the Apple TV and its offerings as an alternative to one of the many types of interactive whiteboards currently available to instructors.

A Coder's Blog - Unity3D Indie (Free) Portal Effect Project Sources Hello everyone! Due to popular demand finally I’m releasing project sources of the Unity3D Indie Portal Effect. In two words, the technique is based on using multiple cameras (3 in this case) and then selectively drawing just Z-values of the portal gates in the 1st pass so that they leave opening in the rest of geometry due to Z-test. Enjoy!

Like most Facebook users, many educators use Facebook to connect with friends new and old, but the Internet’s most popular site can also be a great learning (and teaching) tool. There are many Facebook pages that have been created as a resource to collect, share, and disseminate information about education and education technologies. Here’s 10 of our favorites. Facebook In Edu Facebook in Education examines ways in which Facebook is being used in an educational context. National Education Assoc A popular and active page. The ISTE is the International Society for Technology in Education and their goal is to provide “leadership and service to improve teaching and learning by advancing the effective use of technology in education.” [Bonus Page!]

Apps in the Elementary Classroom One area that I have not written much about on this blog is educational apps. This is mostly due to the fact that my school has one first generation iPad and two iPod Touches for the entire school. We also ban cell phones and other electronic devices, so these are not available for use in the classroom unless the teachers specifically plan for the kids to use them for a lesson or activity, hand them out to the kids and collect them at the end of the lesson. I won't pretend to be an expert on apps in the classroom, which is why I haven't covered their use here. However, with more and more schools investing in iPad carts, iPods and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies, it's an important topic. What is the Role of Apps in the Classroom? Why should we be using apps in the classroom in the first place? What Does It Look Like to Bring Apps into an Elementary Classroom? Cost If you're not sure whether an app is worth paying for, the resources below should help.

A Guide to Choosing Electronic Signature Software Digital transaction management and electronic signature solutions represent a new way of doing business digitally. They're ideal for companies that are looking for a mobile, secure and reliable way to manage documents in a global, cloud-enabled world. The concept of a paperless office is not new. The concept of digitizing documents for easy transport via the Internet through email, or other electronic and magnetic means, is also not new. There are electronic signature companies that specialize in digital transaction and document management as communications service providers (CSPs) or as software as a service (SaaS) providers. Digital Transaction Management & xDTM Digital transaction management (DTM) is a type of secure cloud software and associated services designed to manage digital transactions between users and their documents and data. The xDTM Standard outlines the following key requirements for online transactions involving electronic signatures and digital document management:

E-signatures: The complete guide to paperless signing Your best-laid plans of going paperless come to a screeching halt when you need to get someone's signature on a document. That process typically involves printing the document, signing it yourself, faxing it to the other party, and waiting for them to print, sign, and fax it back—where it's printed yet a third time and filed away in a cabinet forever. It's an antiquated regimen. It's busy work. But there is a better way. Electronic signature schemes have become big business. While systems vary from provider to provider, the general idea behind them is the same. Users are signing e-contracts in droves. Is this actually legal? It sure sounds fast and convenient—and it beats the heck out of dealing with registered mail—but are e-signed contracts legal? The U.S. government actually took the biggest step of resolving the legal issues of e-signatures back in 2000 with the ESIGN Act, which gave electronic signatures the same legal weight as handwritten ones. But who's doing the signing? DocuSign

Electronic signature An electronic signature, or e-signature, refers to data in electronic form, which is logically associated with other data in electronic form and which is used by the signatory to sign.[1][2][3] This type of signature provides the same legal standing as a handwritten signature as long as it adheres to the requirements of the specific regulation it was created under (e.g., eIDAS in the European Union, NIST-DSS in the USA or ZertES in Switzerland).[4][5] Electronic signatures are a legal concept distinct from digital signatures, a cryptographic mechanism often used to implement electronic signatures. While an electronic signature can be as simple as a name entered in an electronic document, digital signatures are increasingly used in e-commerce and in regulatory filings to implement electronic signatures in a cryptographically protected way.

Cisco Acquires ThinkSmart for Brainy WiFi Networks A layer of data analysis seems to be the icing on the cake for every aspect of the enterprise, even for networking giant Cisco. The company that designs, manufactures, and sells networking equipment, announced that they have acquired ThinkSmart Technologies, a software company that delivers location data analysis using Wi-Fi technology. ThinkSmart’s location analytics collects information such as movement within a venue, time of day, traffic patterns and dwell times. Cisco’s technology, combined with ThinkSmart’s analytics, will provide location intelligence and analytics to service providers and enterprise customers, empowering them to gain more insight into the activity within their environments, and to better engage end user activities. It’s a smart direction for Cisco, as WiFi usage continues to grow as the underlying infrastructure supporting our bubbling affair with smartphones and tablets.
