Students Tackle Physics With iPads | uknow.uky.edu LEXINGTON, Ky. (Nov. 29, 2011) — It's 11:30 a.m. on a Thursday, and we're about to have a scientific throwdown. University of Kentucky freshmen pull out their iPads, gather in small groups around 21st century tables and begin to discuss physics problems in a way that's as far from conventional as the touch screens they are intently gazing upon. This is just a typical afternoon for physics and astronomy Professor and Chair Mike Cavagnero's experimental A&S Wired research course: the Science of Measurement. "Measurement and observation are the foundations of science," Cavagnero said. The 26 A&S Wired students who registered for the eight-week class have carried out customary physics coursework, but have also been asked to come up with their own projects. The ultimate goal is for students to take on one of four measurement projects from around campus and complete the endeavor using iPad measuring tools. With a built-in camera, the iPad can serve as a compass to measure magnetic fields.

How to Set Up Gmail for School iPads and iPods One challenge for teachers with students using devices like iPad and iPod touch is collecting student work. Unfortunately, there is not one consistent way for apps to export what a user creates. Some apps connect to Dropbox, some share through iTunes, some export to a website, some share through an IP address, but most apps email content as an attachment. In order to send images, movies, and documents as an attachment, email must be set up on the device. I think the best solution is to give each student an email account and teach them to use it responsibly. The answer I've seen many schools use is Gmail. It's time consuming to create email accounts for each and every device. After creating the Gmail account at mail.google.com/mail/signup, you'll have to do this on each device that will use that account: Launch the Mail app or go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars in the Settings app on iPad or iPod touch to add the account.Choose Gmail. Email is ready to use!

Games, Pop-Ups, 3D, and More – The iPad is Changing Books Forever Hogworld lets you guide Gnart through a story that is a hybrid of book and video game. I grew up on a healthy regimen of Choose-Your-Own Adventure books, Nintendo, and role playing games, but even I am intimidated by the new brand of interactive storytelling that is flooding the iPad. More designers are exploring how the frenzy around Apple’s tablet computer is evolving e-books into something new. Sure, you can find traditional children’s picture books directly translated onto the iPad that simply let you flip through on a touchscreen, but there’s so much more the medium allows. Embedded games, interactive backgrounds, responsive audio, non-linear stories – “books” on the iPad have become something much better: immersive experiences. I’ve got a host of videos to show you what I mean, check them out below. First on our list of the kind of interactive stories is Hogworld by Snowcastle Studios in Norway. What if you’re not a child? Okay, okay. [image credits: Snowcastle Studios]
