Presentera och redovisa via iPad Vad ska man tänka på? Vilka resurser finns? För några år sedan såg jag ett intressant föredrag av David Phillips från Han pratade om Death of the Powerpoint. Detta är fortfarande aktuellt. Allt för många presentationer innehåller alldeles för mycket information. Detta gäller i högsta grad lärare men också elever och sist men inte minst rektorer. Alla känner väl till att ”barn gör inte som vi säger, de gör som vi gör…” David Philips bekräftade mina farhågor: Vi är oftast väldigt skickliga på att stoppa in för mycket information i våra presentationer. Hur ska en presentation se ut för att flest åhörare ska ta till sig det du vill säga/förmedla? Praktiskt: design eller dekoration? Se alltid till att du är fokuset i presentationen och att PowerPointen är byggd för att hjälpa åhörarna inte dig.Undvik att ha fler än sex objekt per slide.Undvik meningar i din PowerPoint. Vad kommer dina åhörare att komma ihåg av din presentation? Death By PowerPoint Fler appar:
PDF Annotation Apps: iPad/iPhone Apps AppGuide Overview PDFs have become the default format for sharing formatted documents across platforms. If you only want to read PDFs, iBooks will likely meet your needs. But, if you want to modify or annotate your PDFs, you’ll need a different app with a larger toolkit. The App Store has many options, but they all have such similar descriptions that it can be difficult to determine which one has the features you need. Essential Apps $14.99 PDFpen for iPad by SmileOnMyMac, LLC PDFpen for iPad is the highly-anticipated iPad version of the popular Mac application of the same name. Notable Apps $9.99 iAnnotate PDF by Branchfire, Inc. iAnnotate PDF offers complete control over PDFs, but the trade off is learning how to use it. Decent Apps $0.99 AnnotDoc - Annotation for MS Office and PDF by EncGoo AnnotDoc offers an impressive number of features at a comparatively low price tag, but it is too difficult to use to recommend highly.

Educational Technology and Mobile Learning: iPad Apps for Multiple intelligences A couple of months ago I read a great book by Howard Gardner called Multiple Intelligences: New Horizons in Theory and Practice . The book paves the way for a new theory set forth by Howard where he distinguishes between nine kinds of intelligences. Understanding the different types of intelligences will definitely help teachers tap into the real potential of their students. Here is an overview of these intelligences : learning through the spoken and written word. learning through reasoning and problem solving. learning through interaction with one's environment. learning through patterns, rhythms and music. learning through feelings, values and attitudes. learning through interaction with others. learning through classification, categories and hierarchies. learning by seeing the "big picture": "Why are we here?" 9- VISUAL/SPATIAL learning visually and organizing ideas spatially.
