Some background info: Our iPad program is in the beginning of its second year. We are still in a pilot program, but it has expanded with the start of our 2nd year to include more schools in the district. I am our Instructional Technology Director, but originally taught English. I am teaching summer school English to test my hand at teaching 1:1 with iPads. The majority of the students are in the class for Senior English, there are a couple students in the class for Junior English. My goal for the course: I want to use the iPads as tools to help students learn the material in an interesting and modern way. My goal for these posts: To chronicle the daily activities of my class (4 hours a day, 4 days a week, 3 weeks, 2 sessions) in a way that is brief, but also informative.

How To Published on January 14th, 2013 | by Jeff Herb The iPad has found yet another great use in the classroom – as a document camera to record and/or project just about anything.
Either by using a homemade rig or one purchased through this website, the iPad is a great device to achieve one of the following great things: Annotate over the projected image (use a great app called Board Cam)Record your lessons to post for the class laterRecord a dissection or science experiment and annotate over the video (apps such as Coaches Eye)Project and annotate textbooksCreate and discuss mind maps and graphic organizers (several apps do this) The nice thing about using the iPad as a document camera is that it has several options to project the screen. The first way is through the dock connecter into a VGA port (or HDMI). This wired option is the most reliable and easiest to setup with minimal additional equipment needed. The second way is via AirPlay wireless streaming. Tags: Document Camera, iPad.
