Dropbox: A Multi-Tool for Educators. Digital Tools By Jennifer Carey.
Using Dropbox in the Classroom. When I mention Dropbox to friends and colleagues, I usually get one of two responses – a knowing smile and nod, or a puzzled and quizzical look.
Whether you know what the program is, you have likely heard the name. But really, what is Dropbox? 10 Things You Didn't Know Dropbox Could Do. We live in an age when we want (and sometimes need) to access information at all times.
This includes our own data and files — text documents, photographs, videos, music and more. That's why services like Dropbox and the cloud are so popular with the connected generation. Free of charge (with a paid upgrade option), Dropbox lets you upload your files to folders accessible anywhere there's an Internet connection. It eliminates the hassle of emailing yourself attachments and running into size limits. eBooks, Remote Control & Other Creative Uses For Dropbox That You Haven't Thought Of. Do you think you’ve thought of all possible uses for Dropbox? You haven’t. Neither have I. Digitaalinen muistinjatkeesi pilvessä: Evernote ja Diigo. Suurin osa siitä tiedosta, minkä olen yliopisto-opinnoissani ahtanut päähäni, on jo kadonnut mielestäni.
Kun tenttejä varten päntätty tieto oli oksennettu ulos, jäljelle jäi vähän. Tein toki muistiinpanot, mutta nyt paperit lojuvat vintillä mapeissa ja ovat käytännössä käyttökelvottomia – tarpeellisen tiedon palasen löytämiseen voisi mennä tunteja. PDF tools for iPad teacher.

How One iPad App Changed An Entire School. I have been wanting to write a post for a while about the amazing tool that we came across last year, that has truly changed the way we use iPads in our classrooms, but haven’t had a venue to do so. Now that I have my new website, I decided it was a must! If you aren’t familiar with this groundbreaking Nearpod iPad app , I want to take a minute to share it with you and explain how it changed our school. Nearpod is an App that allows teachers to share presentations; but wait, there’s more!
It also lets you be a fully engaged participant and interact with the presentation through polls, quizzes, videos, drawing interactivity, website-sharing, self-guided quizzes and more. Socrative. Posted by sevhandenise on Monday, November 19th 2012 The Socrative Quiz Building Programme comprises two apps: Socrative Teacher and Socrative Student.
Teachers create quizzes on a laptop via m.socrative.com. On enrolling educators are given a room number which is the passkey by which students can access their quizzes. Quizzes fall into three response categories: open ended, true/false and multiple choice. Quizzes can be teacher paced: moving on to the next question when they teacher wishes to; or student paced: progressing at the pace of individual learners. Real Time Feedback Systems. SOCRATIVE. Osallistuin Educoden järjestämään, kolmiosaiseen iPadien käyttöönotto ja opetuskäyttömahdollisuudet -koulutukseen, jossa kouluttajina toimivat Jukka Kilpiä ja Timo Kainulainen.
Viimeisellä koulutuskerralla tutustuttiin ilmaiseen Socrative-palveluun, jota todennäköisesti kokeilen omien oppilaitteni kanssa. Palvelu on käytettävissä sekä verkossa että kahdella sovelluksella (opettajan sovellus, oppilaan sovellus), jotka saa ainakin iPadille. Palvelua käyttävän opettajan täytyy rekisteröityä joko sovelluksen tai verkon kautta. Rekisteröinnin yhteydessä opettaja saa numeron (room number), jonka avulla oppilaat kirjautuvat vastaamaan kyselyihin. Oppilaan ei tarvitse luoda omaa tunnusta, mikä tekee palvelun käyttöönoton helpoksi. Flipboard ja Zite. Flipboard Turns The Internet Into A Magazine [iPad] The iPad as a device could well be considered the first digital magazine.

Its size, orientation, and high resolution screen nearly makes holding and reading it like a traditional paper magazine. And the developers of the magazine app, Flipboard, were probably the first to recognize how the iPad could turn the Internet into a mobile web magazine. When Flipboard was initially released back in December 2010, it got off to a shaky start. It didn’t quite work well for many users, but in a matter of weeks it became Apple’s iPad App of the Year, and later TIME magazine’s top 50 Innovations.
It was the first software of its kind that made browsing the Internet like reading a magazine — with digital “flipping” pages, and direct in-app connections to personal Twitter and Facebook accounts. Haiku Deck for iPad. The Fast Track To Slide Stardom. Haiku Deck and iMovie Mashup. Haiku Deck 2.0 Brings Charts, Graphs And Lists To Its Super Simple iPad Presentation Tool. Office for iPad is a long-standing rumor that frankly becomes less interesting to me with every day that passes, thanks in large part to great third-party apps like Haiku Deck that are stepping up to take advantage of Microsoft’s waffling on the matter.
Haiku Deck was a great product when it launched back in August 2012, and a big version 2.0 update makes it even better today. Storify on the iPad. Doceri 2.0 Help and Transition Videos. Presstomatic Collaborative Digital Scrapbook Comes to the iPad. By Emily | January 4, 2013 | 1 comment Whether you want to create a book to commemorate a special family event or to show off all the great photos you and a friend took while snorkeling in the Bahamas over winter break, Presstomatic may be just the app you’re looking for.
Thanks to a recent upgrade Presstomatic made the leap to the iPad. Sandbox. Classroom Management, Monitoring, and Corporate Training Software. 5 Flash Players for iPad. Here we are recommending the must have Flash Player for iPad apps, why you ask?
When do iPad users wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Each time they see Apple and Adobe promising to become BFFs and wake up to realize it was all a dream. Cupertino’s intolerance to Flash has always been the stuff of legend and the way HTML5 seems to be progressing, there’s hardly any hope for iPad users who find the current web browsing experience incomplete without Flash support.
The simple way to create beautiful books on the iPad. Creating a Classroom eBook with BookCreator It is no secret that I am a fan of the iPad app BookCreator since its release in 2011. Our students have created several eBooks with the app. You can read about the creation, its process and even download the final eBooks on the following blog posts: One of the most important features of the app is the openness and responsiveness of the developer Dan Amos.
He truly is interested and flexible to accommodate educators and their special needs in the classroom. Our wonderful librarian Karin Hallett, who blogs on Liquid Literacy (a must subscribe blog) published a step by step recount of her process of creating a classroom eBook with current first graders. Each student worked on their own iPad to create their eBook. Dan Amos had extended the new beta version of the new BookCreator to me and we were in luck that the ability to combine more than one book together was already included in the update.

The sketch and drawing app, Paper, recently won Apple’s 2012 iPad App of the Year Award, and it is very easy to see why. Even if you’re not an artist but are a true fan of the iPad, you will want to check out the unique, custom user interface of Paper. There are dozens of drawing apps in the iTunes Store, but Paper is about as near as it gets to an app that resembles an analog paper notebook. Even if you just want to doodle, Paper’s smooth digital ink, and pen and brushes make you feel like an artist. Paper is a free download, which contains the basic features for getting started, and if you want to do more, there are additional in-app purchases. The User Interface Paper works in landscape mode only, which of course provides you with a full 2048 x 1536 space for sketching, drawing, doodling, making lists, or diagramming.
13 Ways To Use iMovie In The Classroom. Is there an app for that? Well, chances are there are dozens of apps for anything you want to do, but sometimes you find one app that is robust enough to have multiples uses for you and your students. For me, iMovie is that app. I find myself using it for everything from slow motion videography to documentation, to presentations and everything in-between. Below are 13 ways that I have used iMovie (or have heard of others using iMovie) with students to enhance learning.
Documentation: Use the camera and microphone to record student work and performances.
