Tuesday's iPad Tips II

Calendar

- if you have other iDevices, you can go to Settings/iCloud; find "Calendars" and switch the tab to "on"

- perform steps above on all your devices

- this will sync your calendars on all your selected Apple devices

- you can do the same for other apps such as "Reminders"

Socrative

(teacher and student; separate apps)

- assuming one day in the near future all your students will have their own devices -- or if you're in a lab -- the Socrative app works like clickers

- go into the teacher Socrative app, set up your questionaire, quiz or survey; students log into their student Socrative app and away you go!

(I'm not sure how or even if this would work in our DSBN PC labs)

VoiceThread

Blurb below is directly from iTunes

-

Create and share dynamic conversations around documents, snapshots, diagrams and videos -- basically anything there is to talk about. You can talk, type, and draw right on the screen. VoiceThread takes your conversations to the next level, capturing your presence, not just your comments. Anyone can join the discussion from their iPhone, iPad,

- A teacher at Eden, as part of the TLP from Eden, had his students create VoiceThreads instead of ppt's (much more engaging :)

ShowMe

- ShowMe turns your iPad into an interactive white-board. Like VoiceThread, you can doodle and record your voice during your show. Check out this example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhcBpLhxppk&feature=relmfu
