5 Myths About Writing With Mobile Devices
A few months ago, shortly after the first EdTechTeacher iPad Summit , I spent the day with a college friend out on Cape Cod. In telling me about her daughter’s class iPad pilot, my friend seemed both excited and hesitant. At one point in the conversation, she turned to me and said, “The one thing I hate, though, is that writing just stinks on iPad.”Policies regarding mobile phones vary from setting to setting so the way you address this problem will depend on the school/college’s overall viewpoint. If the establishment you’re working in has a definite rule and consequences in place regarding use of phones you can treat this as any other behaviour problem and consistently stick to the policy. This can be such a huge problem however, with students being so passionate about their phones, that enforcing the rules can be difficult.

Mirror iPad, iPhone, iPod to Your Screen for Free
Unlike wireless mirroring solutions like Apple TV , AirServer , and Reflector , iTools requires the device to be tethered to a computer.

The software can do much more than mirror your screen, so finding the mirroring option is somewhat hidden.

You’ve heard the chatter. IPads have become the go-to literacy tool for authentic learning in the K-8 classroom, the one that says ‘ Our program is cutting edge, up-to-date, inquiry-driven ‘. Students want to use them, want to share and collaborate on them, and will follow almost any rules if it means they get that tablet in their hands. The problem with the iPad as with the internet is: TMI–too much information. There are tens of thousands of apps, each proclaiming itself to be the solution to all classroom problems, each promising to be the practical strategy for learning math or science or state capitals or whatever their buzz word happens to be. How do teachers sort truth from marketing?
