Extrait de séquence sur le Titanic intégrant la réalité augmentée par Aurasma (3ème euro) La séquence débute par des recherches d’informations sur le Titanic (treasure hunt). La classe est transformée en musée, des affiches illustrant l’aventure du Titanic depuis sa construction jusqu’au sauvetage des rescapés tapissent les murs de la salle. Des bruits de vagues et cris de mouettes sonorisent l’ensemble. Les élèves disposent d’un questionnaire dont les réponses se trouvent disséminées dans les affiches. Cette année j’ai utilisé la réalité augmentée pour doubler les affiches physiques de renseignements virtuels supplémentaires. Certaines affiches sont porteuses d'aide lexicale, d’autres dévoilent des indices, des questions supplémentaires ou des bonus. Les élèves passent le smartphone devant le document pour découvrir l’Aura, le double numérique de l'affiche. Plus-value : *Possibilité de créer plusieurs auras sur une seule affiche afin de proposer un bouquet multimédia. Mode d'emploi :

Prss is trying to design the iPad publishing app that Apple never built
A Netherlands-based company wants to revolutionize iPad publishing. In much the same way that Quark enabled desktop publishing in the eighties and platforms like WordPress and Tumblr allowed anyone to cheaply and easily set up their own blog in the aughts, Prss wants to put iPad publishing in the hands of people who lack programming skills. The app is the latest in a series of tools that democratize publications, giving high-level capabilities to those who want to distribute their message but don’t necessarily have the technical skills. The idea for Prss came after entrepreneur Michel Elings and longtime travel writer and photographer Jochem Wijnands constructed their own iPad publication called TRVL. “In the two-and-a-half years that we publsihed TRVL, we didn’t see something that did justice to the iOS platform,” Elings told me. After devising a “cookbook” of all the features they wanted, with an eye toward capitalizing on the iPad’s native features for interactivity, TRVL was born.

Excellent iPad Apps to Create Interactive eBooks for Teachers and Students
Yesterday when I was talking about the 22 rules for effective digital storytelling, I mentioned writing stories as one motivational factor that helps students get engaged in their writing.Students find it easier to connect to their writing when it centers around their own experiences they have lived in their immediate environments. Another strategy to use to enhance your students writing and get them motivated to write is to provide them with simple and easy to use platforms to publish their work. Knowing that their final product is going to be published somewhere for others to view and read may drive them to write diligently to satisfy their writing egos. There are actually several web tools that students can use to publish and share their writings with others, here is a list of the best platforms you can recommend for your students. 1- Creative Book Builder Creative Book Builder enables everyone to create, edit and publish ebooks in a few minutes on the go. 2- Book Creator for iPad
What's Behind the iPad Hack at Los Angeles High Schools? - business issues, MDM, education, hardware systems, school, business, tablets, industry verticals, iPad, Management Topics, Apple, LAUSD, Management Topics | Consumerization of IT
CIO — Last week, more than 300 students across three high schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) brought their school-issued iPads home and hacked into them, probably to download juicy blacklisted apps and access banned websites. Well, "hacked" might be a strong word. Students simply removed their mobile device management (MDM) software profile—an easy enough thing to do—which also got rid of Apple's Global Proxy that ensures traffic goes through a Web filter. It wasn't much of a hack, rather a couple of finger taps. The Los Angeles Times reported the story, which was picked up by other media, and LAUSD suddenly found itself in hot water. Headlines screamed: "Students find ways to thwart school iPad security" (rtv6) and "Students gleefully teach admins that mobile device management is hard" (Ars Technica). Seemingly caught by surprise, LAUSD threw together an official response. Related: iPad Pilot Programs' Dirty Little Secret What really happened at LAUSD?
