How to save, work with multiple apps and share

iPad Published on December 17th, 2012 | by Mark Anderson One of the greatest positives of the iPad as a learning tool in education are the many different apps that allow students to create amazing pieces of work which demonstrate their learning. Not only that, but the productivity tools that go with their day to day activities are vast. One of the negatives with the iPad though has been the problems associated with workflow. Some recent developments have really helped to alleviate many of these concerns. Firstly, with the advent of iOS6 came the option to be able to open files within apps in other apps. In fact, this new option has been massive. Above, you can see just some of the options I get upon choosing to open my Keynote presentation in another app. We have been trialling a service at school called ‘FoldR‘ which in essence, works like a WebDAV server, but is not. …it also supports Rackspace Cloud Files, Amazon S3, CloudApp & SugarSync too. The list goes on… “Save early, save often.”

I just tried Google's new Cardboard with my iPhone One year ago, Google introduced its first step into the fast-growing world of virtual reality — but Google Cardboard felt more like the whimsical side of Google having fun with a trend rather than embracing it head-on with a "serious" product. However, as the year went on, it became clear that Cardboard was no joke. Google already sells a host of different Cardboard kits from various manufacturers and is also offering an SDK to help developers build apps for Cardboard. Today, the company's giving Google I/O attendees a new version of its Cardboard hardware, with a few key changes. The last change is that it's even easier to assemble — it's a three-step process, and it was so simple I wasn't sure that I did it right. The experience using Cardboard with an iPhone is basically identical to using it with an Android phone — there are a few different demo apps (including a fabulous kaleidoscope demo), but other than that performance and the overall experience was nearly identical.
