Vad kan man göra mer med AirServer? | Gästbloggen När jag började använda Airserver höll jag i en presentation över hur jag tänkte att man skulle kunna använda airserver tillsammans med projektorn i undervisningen, dessa appar använde jag som inspiration till kollegor: Explain everything: Utmärkt som whiteboard, man kan lägga in en webbläsare som man kan ha aktiv eller rita på. Finns flera alternativ till denna såklart som Show me eller Educreation, men det är nog mer en smaksak eller tillfälle som avgör vilken man vill använda. Google Drive: Använder google apps på jobbet, så uppgiften kan ges där/bygga upp i introduktionen och sen dela dokumentet med eleverna. TeachersPick: SlumpApp. Man skriver in gruppens namn, som slumpar elev eller elever med valda direktiv. Moji Klocka: Jobba med klockan tillsammans, skicka runt iPaden i klassrummet för att diskutera och hjälpas åt att ställa in klockan rätt. Elementary school math: Bara för att påvisa att man använda matteappar till gruppdiskussion. Probability tools: Sannolikhet!

Airserver! –  Hur har jag klarat mig utan alla dessa år? | Gästbloggen Efter sommaren 2012 började jag ett nytt jobb på Vittra Telefonplan som matematiklärare för år 4-6. Skolan har en tydlig IT-inriktning då eleverna har en varsin dator från år 4. Med tillgång till dator, iPad och projektor kan man ju inte låta bli testa olika IKT-verktyg för att se hur detta påverkar eleverna och hur man kan nå det omdefinierade lärandet. Jag är ett iPad-fan av rang, inte för att själva iPaden i sig är ett grymt verktyg, utan för att jag som pedagog kan tänka till hur jag på bästa sätt kan använda mig utav nya arbetssätt med hjälp av den. Jag hade hört talas om Appletv, men aldrig satt mig in i hur den fungerade. I min jakt på information ramlade jag över ett program som genast blev väldigt intressant: Airserver! Vad har jag gjort i klassrummet idag med Airserver som jag inte kunde göra tidigare? Framförallt använder jag den som en liten whiteboard i klassrummet för att inte vara låst framme vid den stora whiteboardtavlan.

Screencasting Apps for the iPad  Teaching ourselves, our students and other educators how to use screenshooting (images) and screencasting (video) tools is a relevant skill to have that integrates in so many areas. Think Tutorial Designers (A role from the Digital Learning Farm) or the Flipped Classroom model. Being able to create, share and take advantage of readily available screencasts touch upon so many of the skills (create, communicate) and literacies (network, media, information literacy). Maybe you have never heard about screencasting, have not paid much attention to it and/or have never tried to create one of your own. Or maybe you have plenty of experience in creating your own screencasts and incorporated screencasting into your lessons or assessments before. Maybe you feel screencasting to be a basic, one of the most important or an essential teaching and learning skill for you as an educator or for your students to have.
