The iPad: Your secret weapon for helping struggling readers | Imagine This! Are you looking for a secret weapon to help your struggling readers catch up with their peers and learn to love reading? According to this article from the Sydney Morning Herald, you may be overlooking a powerful tool that can help students accelerate their reading development, improve comprehension, and get excited about books. That’s right, it’s the iPad. Here’s why it works: For many students who struggle to read at grade level, reading becomes a chore, a fight, and a struggle.
But with an iPad in their hands, struggling readers can take charge of their interaction with books, tapping on words to hear them read aloud, choosing books that they want to read, and reading independently without help from an adult. And for even the youngest of struggling readers, these small technological wonders can lead to big improvements in their reading.

If you need to convert a YouTube file to an iPad Video you can embed in Keynote, one of the best options is the app iCab Mobile, which is an alternative browser to Safari. By pressing and holding while a YouTube video is playing, you can download it, and the you can later save it to your photo roll. Remember that videos for Keynote for the iPad have to come out of your Photo Roll. Yes, this makes no sense (shouldn't movies come from Movies?)
, and I've shared this with the head of iOS app development at Apple directly. Still…if you want to add a movie to Keynote, as of November 2012…it comes out of the Photo Roll. Strictly speaking, taking video off of YouTube is illegal, but if you want to have a file for times when you do not have the Internet present (many schools), it is a logical solution (It also works well if a TV series is on YouTube and you want that series on your son's iPod Touch for a long car ride–just saying). 1:1 iPads in Elementary Part 2 – Setting up the Carts. My, how things have changed. Last year, it took me weeks to push 60 iPads out to my building. This year, it took me less than a week to push out 140 iPads! That was also a week where I was teaching and working on other things in the building.
If i dedicated time exclusively to the task, I’m sure it would take even less. All of this is thanks to my new best friend for getting things set up, Configurator. While I could use Configurator to manage and supervise every single thing on all of the iPads, I didn’t particularly want to. First up, here’s the steps for how we got the apps on teacher laptops ready to go: Spend the summer examining apps we’d used in the past, thinking about what we’d want to do with our students, and refining a list of apps to put on the iPads.Help teachers set up iTunes on their computers and create their own school-based iTunes accounts.

VideoScribe - Unique video scribe marketing & communication tool. iMovie for iPad – Storyboard help sheets for trailers | Tech-Info-Maths (T.I.M.) iMovie for iPad – Storyboard help sheets for trailers Saturday, 30 June 2012 16:13 Written by Tim CC Jonathan Kos-Read via Compfight I did a quick search, delving a few pages deep in the results, but couldn’t find what I wanted. I thought that it would be useful if a trailer could be planned in advance, rather than shoot footage and hope that there was enough of the various types of scenes to fit the trailer templates. I know that we should design a trailer around our content, but it is also nice to be able to create one quickly from the templates.
These sheets will also be useful if there is limited access to iPads. If you do make these available to students, I’d love to know that it is useful.
