6 Ways Students Can Collaborate With iPads The following post is written by Greg Kulowiec of EdTechTeacher . Join EdTechTeacher at the iPad Summit in Atlanta on April 10-12. The app store is loaded with options that allow students to create content on their iPads. From comic strip creators to mind maps, video editing and publishing, screencasting & digital books, the options for individual student creation are expanding. However, collaboration between students is often a critical component of any classroom activity or project and increasingly there are options available that allow for collaborative efforts across iPads. Below are six ways to support collaboration between student iPads that cover the spectrum of creation options that range from text to digital storytelling to video creation. Explain Everything ($2.99) A flexible and powerful screen casting option, students and teachers can collaborate on screencasts by exporting Explain Everything project files from an iPad.

11 apps per creare mappe Mind mapping is a method that works for quite a lot of people. Brain storming, idea mapping, thought generation, think tanks – call it what you will. Traditionally done on large pieces of paper, why not use your iPad to create mind maps? You could use these for your own purposes, or “convert” those large flip charts into a smaller, digital version. Edit (October 2013) After some chats with Tim Foster, the developer of Cell Storm I feel it appropriate to draw your attention to some interesting and relevant points he had made. Summary of apps reviewed Click the icon to go to the website, or click the title to go to a more detailed review. Inspiration Maps Lite This is a nice straightforward tool, with the added benefit of being able to create your maps either visually or via text. Mindomo Probably my favourite app reviewed, Mindomp is an all round performer with lots of nice visual touches.

come usare Imovie How can you use iMovie in the classroom? Well, you can use it for just about “…everything from slow motion videography to documentation, to presentations and everything in-between.” Here are 13 ways to use iMovie in the classroom from edapps.ca to explore. Documentation : Use the camera and microphone to record student work and performances. You might record students reading, to track progress, video record a student playing a short riff in band class, or record a performance in Phys.Ed, or pretty much any other course. Peer Feedback : Use video as a great medium to get students to begin to provide each other with feedback. Self Reflection : Students learning to be self aware and provide self-feedback is one of the most effective things we can teach our students. Creating Movies : Youtube is the most popular and powerful search engine for kids, it is how they communicate. Photo Essay : Photo-essays are powerful ways to convey messages through visuals and text. (source www.edapps.ca )
Explain Everything come usarlo When it comes to flexible iPad apps, nothing quite fits the bill like Explain Everything. Developed as a screencasting app (in my opinion, the best in the app store), I have recently found that I am using the app for anything but screencasting. 1. The way I find myself using Explain Everything these days is as a platform to create images or posters. 2. One of the most underutilized features in Explain Everything is the magnifying glass tool in the left hand menu. *Bonus Idea: Students can use the zooming feature when screencasting in Explain Everything as well. 3. With a combination of Explain Everything and Reflector that is running on a MacBook or PC Laptop, Explain Everything becomes a blank canvas that can be manipulated anywhere in the classroom. 4. Explain Everything has the ability to open a number of file types using the iPad “open in” feature.

idee per usare ipad in classe The label of “21st Century learning” is vague, and is an idea that we here at TeachThought like to take a swing at as often as possible, including: –weighing the magic of technology with its incredible cost and complexity –underscoring the potential for well thought-out instructional design –considering the considerable potential of social media platforms against its apparent divergence from academic learning Some educators seek out the ideal of a 21st century learning environment constantly, while others prefer that we lose the phrase altogether, insisting that learning hasn’t changed, and good learning looks the same whether it’s the 12th or 21st century. At TeachThought, we tend towards the tech-infused model, but do spend time exploring the limits and challenges of technology, the impact of rapid technology change, and carefully considering important questions before diving in head-first.

socrative per creare lezioni su ipad One of our favorite features is Quick Question – Short Answer. With a few quick clicks, you can use short answer to ask a question, then gather, visualize and discuss a whole class’ open responses. You could even have students VOTE on the responses! 1. As students settle into their seats have them enter a question based on last night’s homework or your current unit. Remember – student questions project anonymously, but you can have a report afterward which tells who said what. This is also a great tool to use at the end of class. 2. In every class, there are key vocabulary items that students need to master. 3. There are multiple ways to allow students to show their understanding in a second language classroom. - Present students with a sentence and ask them to translate - Present students with a sentence and ask them to write a follow-on sentence - Have students use a key vocabulary term in a sentence (verbs, nouns, adjectives etc.) How Quick Question – Short Answer Works: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
