Wrap Up Your iMovie. You've had a long year: the 16-hour labor; the invigorating midnight feedings; that first word (which you're sure was "daddy"); and the first birthday party, where you learned that babies don't know the meaning of sharing. Now you've reached the moment that really matters--dishing out the painstakingly edited iMovie footage of your parental odyssey to your kith and kin, just in time for the holidays. Yet during the past year you've learned to be cautious. Have you compressed your video enough that the Des Moines crowd will be able to view your Web-based work over their 56K modem connections?
Will the CD-ROM you've burned for Aunt Vilma play on her PC? And how likely is it that an oft-used VHS tape will survive repeated play in Cousin Tricia's ancient VCR? Relax. You've got enough on your mind as it is. The Web You Weave When it comes to sharing your iMovies with family and friends, the Web provides the greatest exposure for your video vision.

I came across a great blog post the other day – Formative Assessments Are Easier Than You Think – that told the firsthand account of a teacher, Steven Anderson, who implemented formative assessment in his classroom. He used a sticky-note version of an exit ticket to elicit evidence of student learning and in his words, “what a difference that made.” Formative assessment is ‘easier than you think’ and with all the digital tools and apps now available for mobile devices it’s even easier. We’ve shared some digital tools before and with the five tools that Steven shared combined with our earlier suggestions there are now 33 digital tools that we’ve uncovered that are free or inexpensive and help teachers implement formative assessment in their classrooms.
Here they are: A few of Steven’s discoveries: Lino – A virtual corkboard of sticky-notes so students can provide questions or comments on their learning. Poll Everywhere – Teachers can create a feedback poll or ask questions. Pick Me! Moving a video into Keynote (finally!) Okay, I was determined to use the iPad to present yesterday, so I had created the presentation on the desktop in Keynote and moved it to the iPad through the file sharing in iTunes. I just dragged it to the area next to the Keynote app and it moved over to the iPad the next time I synced. You can see this below. (Fig. 1) The presentation worked perfectly when I tested it via the VGA connection. All embedded movies worked, and things looked great! However, before I presented, I found another great video to use in the presentation.
I only had the iPad, and did not know how to get the video into the PHOTOS app on the iPad, which is the only place Keynote on the iPad would pull it from. I tried iWork, DropBox, iDisk, and emailing the file to myself. It seems as if the only way you can get a video into the PHOTOS app is by using the computer you regularly sync with. So, here is my solution. The items now all wind up in the PHOTOS app, as you can see from the screenshot below. Summarizing_strategies. Kathy Schrock's iPads4teaching - iPads for Teaching. Inserting Images Into A Google Doc in iPad : THE "SHIFT" IN EDUCATION. Aug August 17, 2013 | 4 Comments The Drive app currently doesn’t have the option to add images to a document. If you are a GAFE user like me I’m pretty sure you find this annoying. This is not the only deficiency and I’m expecting Google to make necessary additions to the app to make it perfect as soon as possible.
Anyways, in order to overcome those deficiencies I use the Chrome app to open a Google Doc. Now by clicking Insert-Image-Upload you can reach your camera roll or your camera.
