Hi, I'm Laurie Burruss.
| | 00:06 |
In my role as a professor at Pasadena
City College, I've implemented and
| | 00:10 |
overseen the prototype of an iPad
classroom.
| | 00:14 |
This course covers how to set up your
classroom for the iPad.
| | 00:18 |
The iPad's multi-sensory features, the
on-board apps, and the ever growing
| | 00:24 |
variety of apps available in iTunes
provide a great platform for the teacher
| | 00:29 |
to discover new ways to engage students.
We'll dive into topics like planning and
| | 00:35 |
implementing an iPad classroom.
Discovering how to use the iPad as a tool
| | 00:40 |
to collaborate, remediate, problem solve,
assess, and communicate to further
| | 00:46 |
enhance learning.
Selecting apps that support your teaching
| | 00:50 |
style and target student group.
And assessing the results of IPad
| | 00:55 |
projects, all created and implemented on
the iPad.
| | 01:00 |
This course is designed for teachers and
others with basic computer and internet
| | 01:05 |
knowledge and who wish to become more
skilled at developing 21st century
| | 01:09 |
teaching and learning for the classroom.
Lets get started!

| Using the iPad in the classroom| 00:00 |
Before we can take advantage of the iPad
as a classroom tool, we need to make sure
| | 00:05 |
that we have the infrastructure to
support it.
| | 00:08 |
Based upon my research, and observation
of how other teachers are using the iPad
| | 00:13 |
in the classroom, I'll give you an
overview of best practices and strategies.
| | 00:18 |
These include developing a school plan
and proposal for the iPad classroom.
| | 00:24 |
Deciding upon a delivery system, whether
it's individual, a classroom, or
| | 00:28 |
schoolwide solution.
Determining who owns, operates and is
| | 00:33 |
responsible for the apps and iTunes
accounts.
| | 00:37 |
Evaluating the different types of
projection systems available for
| | 00:40 |
displaying the iPad screen.
Selecting apps that integrate with the
| | 00:45 |
school's core mission.
Teaching styles, and student learning styles.
| | 00:49 |
Determining who's responsible for
supporting training and professional
| | 00:53 |
development, for acces to checking in and
out the iPad classroom.
| | 00:57 |
And the iTeam management and the
configuration of an iPad classroom set.
| | 01:03 |
We can use the iPad in the classroom for
video, image editing, audio, eReading,
| | 01:10 |
journaling, blogging, sharing,
annotating.
| | 01:15 |
Researching, screen casting, presenting,
story telling, studying, organizing,
| | 01:25 |
collaborating, and more.

| Using the exercise files| 00:00 |
I've designed this course so that you can
use your own materials to recreate the
| | 00:04 |
activity, but I have included a folder of
resources that you can use if you don't
| | 00:09 |
have files of your own.
This folder is available to all members
| | 00:14 |
of the lynda.com online training library.
If you're a premium member of the
| | 00:19 |
lynda.com online training library, you
also have access to some resource
| | 00:24 |
documents and checklists that I've
created to help you prepare your
| | 00:27 |
classroom and lessons to take advantage
of the iPad.

1. Getting Ready for an iPad ClassroomRationale for the iPad classroom| 00:00 |
Creating the iPad classroom is an
exciting proposition.
| | 00:03 |
But I highly recommend that you take some
first steps, that you create a rationale
| | 00:08 |
for your curriculum, for your colleagues,
and for your school's mission.
| | 00:12 |
There is a big shift going on and a lot
of the educators are calling the big
| | 00:17 |
shift this, this is a very popular image
that I'm showing you, it's all over the internet.
| | 00:21 |
It talks about the old school versus the
new age.
| | 00:25 |
But for me, it's not just about eh weight
of a backpack and how much stuff goes in
| | 00:29 |
a backpack.
I really feel like this is a disservice.
| | 00:33 |
It's really a plus for me, we're adding
to a menu of tools and we're extending
| | 00:38 |
our tools beyond just a workstation, or
just a pile of books on a bookcase.
| | 00:43 |
But, we're not going to give up any of
those things, we're going to use them all
| | 00:46 |
in the end.
For me, the big shift is Connectors
| | 00:51 |
versus being Connected.
When I've taught in digital media labs,
| | 00:56 |
I've had to have every one of these
things in my labs in order to function.
| | 01:04 |
But now, it's become simple, easy, and
immediate.
| | 01:08 |
When I walk into my classroom I simply
need the iPad.
| | 01:13 |
There's also a shift in the way students
behave.
| | 01:16 |
In the old model of the computer lab,
they were tethered to the mouse.
| | 01:20 |
They were attached to the screen and the
keyboard.
| | 01:25 |
And they were focused like horses with
blinders on at the workstation on just
| | 01:30 |
the screen.
They didn't get up, they didn't look to
| | 01:33 |
see what other students were doing.
They didn't even get up to ask me questions.
| | 01:38 |
They were locked in their own little
world at their workstation.
| | 01:42 |
But with the introduction of the iPad in
classes, I see what I call the untethered student.
| | 01:48 |
In this classroom, using the iPad, you
see the students are looking at each other.
| | 01:52 |
They're making comments, they're
reacting, they're focused.
| | 01:56 |
They're doing all kinds of things.
They're engaged with each other as well
| | 02:00 |
as with the tools that they're using.
They're mixing traditional tools with
| | 02:05 |
digital tools.
And they're creating an active work
| | 02:08 |
space, and they're experimenting and
trying and observing.
| | 02:14 |
And you mix this all together and you see
a different kind of environment.
| | 02:19 |
You see focus and intensity and a desire
to create.
| | 02:23 |
The iPad classroom has so many things
going for it, you really see the
| | 02:29 |
illustration of what it means to be
connected.
| | 02:32 |
The students are connected with each
other, the students are connected with
| | 02:35 |
their tools, the students are trying to
create.
| | 02:38 |
They're generating information quickly,
they're evaluating, giving each other
| | 02:42 |
feedback, and there's a real spirit of
collegiality.
| | 02:46 |
And the desire to teach and learn from
each other as well as the instructor.
| | 02:51 |
Teaching in the iPad classroom also
requires the teacher to evolve.
| | 02:56 |
Thirty years ago when I was first hired
to teach, I though my main job was to be
| | 03:01 |
a subject matter expert.
And to give all of that subject matter
| | 03:05 |
knowledge that I had, to my students.
But now I see myself as a facilitator of
| | 03:10 |
learning, and knowledge, and creating
learning paths.
| | 03:14 |
I'm no longer the big dot pushing content
at a row of students row, by row, by row.
| | 03:19 |
But I'm actively engaged with my
students, in different configurations, in
| | 03:25 |
different ways.
With other networks inside and outside
| | 03:28 |
the school, with other disciplines, with
other tool sets.
| | 03:32 |
So, why iPad for education?
For me, it's really always a number 1
| | 03:39 |
about the students.
When I see a student smile at me like
| | 03:43 |
this after doing a project, this is what
delights me.
| | 03:46 |
It's what keeps me teaching.
There is a wonderful study that was put
| | 03:50 |
out by the Pearson Foundation.
It was sponsored by Lenovo, Intel, and Qualcomm.
| | 03:55 |
It has some amazing statistics.
In this survey of both college students
| | 04:00 |
and high school seniors they saw that 94%
of college student.
| | 04:04 |
Owners believe that these devices,
tablets, are valuable for educational
| | 04:08 |
purposes of the college students.
In the last two years there has been a
| | 04:14 |
three time increase in their purchase of
tablets.
| | 04:18 |
Of the high school seniors surveyed
there's been a four time increase of the
| | 04:22 |
purchase of tablets in the last two
years.
| | 04:25 |
When polled, 75% of the students, both
college and high school, said they use it
| | 04:32 |
daily for school related activities.
And three out of five of students use it
| | 04:38 |
multiple times a day for school purposes.
Those are amazing statistics to talk
| | 04:44 |
about the increase, the adoption, and the
desire for this kind of learning.
| | 04:49 |
So what are some of the benefits?
If I were to say it in four words it
| | 04:53 |
would be agile, adaptable, enabling,
empowering.
| | 04:57 |
But often four words doesn't meet the
school requirements or the institution
| | 05:02 |
requirements for putting forth a reason
for implementing an iPad classroom.
| | 05:06 |
I've tried to put together ten of the
most important things that have made a
| | 05:09 |
difference for me.
It gives the control back to the teacher
| | 05:13 |
and the learner.
I'm no longer dependent on the
| | 05:15 |
institution, IT support, or whether I
have the right equipment in a lab.
| | 05:20 |
It puts the fun back into teaching and
learning.
| | 05:23 |
It allows each one of my students to use
the iPad as a personal learning studio.
| | 05:28 |
By using those apps they personalize and
customize their own learning experiences
| | 05:31 |
in the way they want to use their
toolbox.
| | 05:33 |
Contextual learning comes back into play.
The students learn what they want as they need.
| | 05:39 |
And I've found that multi-sensory
experiences introduces a whole new way of
| | 05:43 |
learning, where it's by experience and
not memorization.
| | 05:47 |
The access is fabulous, it's portable,
and it's instant-on with a long battery life.
| | 05:53 |
Personalization for individual learning
styles and needs is a big plus.
| | 05:57 |
There are custom playlists, built-in
accessibility features.
| | 06:01 |
The iPad affords each student to have
personalization for their own learning
| | 06:05 |
styles and their own needs.
As we define what the activities with the
| | 06:08 |
iPad are, I see each of my students
taking different pathways to get to the
| | 06:12 |
end results.
And most importantly I see for the first
| | 06:16 |
time that the students are really
engaged, even in a 8 o'clock class, 85%
| | 06:21 |
of them show up on time just to get that
iPad in their hands.
| | 06:25 |
The WiFi connection allows you to print,
and to access the biggest research lab in
| | 06:30 |
the world, the Internet.
You can manage with choice.
| | 06:33 |
There's iTunes for your management tool,
and the app store is ever-expanding and
| | 06:38 |
ever-adding content for education.
And finally, Apple has thoughtfully, and
| | 06:43 |
generously afforded accessibility and
special needs tools that ship with the iPad.
| | 06:49 |
It's clear to me that most student
understand what you can use an iPad for,
| | 06:53 |
but we still need to teach our students
how to shift from one modality to the next.
| | 06:58 |
As my students come in to college, or
come in to high schools, or come into
| | 07:02 |
elementary school.
I have a pretty clear feeling that these
| | 07:06 |
digital natives understand how to use
digital tools but mostly for social
| | 07:11 |
purposes, for entertainment purposes.
For game playing, for communicating with
| | 07:16 |
their friends, for keeping in touch.
But the real challenge for educators is
| | 07:21 |
to teach them how to use the same digital
tools for academic rigor.
| | 07:24 |
And how to take those tools and that
understanding out into the workplace.
| | 07:29 |
To understand how to use the tools for
research.
| | 07:32 |
How to develop materials that we can use
for teaching and learning.
| | 07:35 |
How to use multimedia and media services
inside the process of learning.
| | 07:40 |
How to take notes and annotate, how to do
presentations, web conferences.
| | 07:45 |
Develop collaborative spaces that are
both virtual, synchronous and asynchronous.
| | 07:50 |
And most importantly, to add digital
literacy, that they know how to attribute
| | 07:54 |
and annotate, and understand copyrights
and their use.
| | 07:59 |
So are you ready?
It's a call for action.
| | 08:02 |
It's a call for engagement.
What I see it's like, it's like a
| | 08:06 |
kindergarten room for a much more mature
learner.
| | 08:10 |
Just as in kindergarten there were lots
of activities set up everyday, and the
| | 08:14 |
kindergartner could go from table to
table to table.
| | 08:17 |
I see the college students who come into
my class wanting to get their hands dirty
| | 08:21 |
to get right into the project.
The iPad classroom is really the new
| | 08:27 |
sandbox for the 21st century learner.

| Checklist for deploying iPads in the classroom| 00:00 |
So, is your school ready?
It's an important thing to develop an
| | 00:03 |
implementation plan.
There are five questions that I usually pose.
| | 00:09 |
Do you have WiFi access?
Do you have bandwidth that is large
| | 00:14 |
enough to support the access by
classrooms?
| | 00:18 |
Do you have the budget for an iPad
classroom?
| | 00:21 |
The storage, the utility cart and all the
things that go with it.
| | 00:25 |
The staffing, do you have momentum or
interest in this project?
| | 00:31 |
And finally, I really believe that in any
school, to get a project like this going,
| | 00:34 |
you have to have some evangelist, a
teacher, IT support, an instructional
| | 00:39 |
designer, or administrator who really
wants to see this project through.
| | 00:45 |
Next, you should create a plan.
I'm a big proponent of the one page
| | 00:50 |
project proposal.
I really think you can get this down to
| | 00:54 |
five main things.
The purpose of the program, the pedagogy,
| | 00:58 |
how it relates to the school curriculum
and the mission of the school, the
| | 01:03 |
management, staffing, organization of it,
the budget, and most importantly but
| | 01:09 |
often left off, is the future.
Is it sustainable?
| | 01:12 |
Will it be able to grow?
If this becomes a popular program will we
| | 01:16 |
be able to expand?
If you can turn these five questions into
| | 01:20 |
a plan, you've got the beginnings of a
project brief.
| | 01:24 |
I'd like to share a few examples that
I've seen of other institutions, and how
| | 01:29 |
they're creating these plans.
At Socratech Seminars, this is a most
| | 01:34 |
referenced site for many, many school
educators.
| | 01:37 |
It has a great, great set of questions.
And really, a step by step information
| | 01:42 |
about how to setup for infrastructure and
then, also how to setup for the academic community.
| | 01:50 |
I particularly like this site by KQED,
it's called Mind Shift, or how we learn,
| | 01:55 |
because it gives the teacher the critical
and strategic questions that they need to
| | 01:59 |
know before they go into the iPad
classroom.
| | 02:02 |
It's very simple to understand, it's easy
to answer the questions, and by the time
| | 02:07 |
you've answered the ten questions you
have a way to communicate, not only with
| | 02:10 |
your community, with your parents, but
also a way to communicate with the rest
| | 02:14 |
of the school.
For infrastructural purposes the Northern
| | 02:18 |
Territory government in Australia has
done an elaborate implementation and
| | 02:22 |
project proposal that is available for
you as PDFs.
| | 02:26 |
It's quite comprehensive.
It goes through all of the questions that
| | 02:30 |
I've mentioned before.
As even more detail about individual
| | 02:34 |
devices, and management, and all kinds of
things that you might need to answer at
| | 02:38 |
your school.
In addition, they provide a thorough,
| | 02:42 |
thorough presentation that you can
present to all of the stakeholders at
| | 02:46 |
your school discussing how this will
happen at your school.
| | 02:49 |
In deciding upon a plan of action.
I encourage you to go out to the site and
| | 02:54 |
check this out.
I'm really not a fan of reinventing the
| | 02:58 |
wheel and there are plenty of great
implementation models, and proposal
| | 03:02 |
forms, and different things that you can
use at your school so that you can start
| | 03:06 |
quickly and efficiently.
So in developing a checklist I actually
| | 03:11 |
have my own system, my own strategy.
I've found in my own experience that big
| | 03:17 |
weighty project proposals never make it
through, and never get signed off, and
| | 03:21 |
they don't get read.
So I like to start off with a one page
| | 03:25 |
document that can be easily shared by
email, or in teams, or at meetings.
| | 03:30 |
And that they're easy to fill out within
5 to 15 minutes with yes or no answers,
| | 03:35 |
and with short, one word answers.
So here's one I've created for infrastructure.
| | 03:41 |
It's really about bandwidth, support,
training, policies that will need to be
| | 03:46 |
implemented, ownership, and the budget.
I've also created one for the academic
| | 03:52 |
side of the house.
This would be for teachers or for
| | 03:54 |
instructional designers.
In here I go through curriculum,
| | 03:58 |
professional development, assessment, do
the tools and the applications we're
| | 04:02 |
using on the iPad match what we're doing
in the curriculum?
| | 04:05 |
And then finally, to really check for the
authenticity of the program that we're
| | 04:09 |
designing, and that it makes sense with
the apps that we've chosen.
| | 04:13 |
Next, let's look at the three most common
models for implementing an iPad classroom.
| | 04:19 |
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Exploring common device ownership models| 00:00 |
Currently there are three models for the
iPad classroom.
| | 00:03 |
The one-iPad classroom.
The student-owned device, bring your own
| | 00:07 |
device, it's called BYOD.
And finally, the school-owned iPad.
| | 00:13 |
It can either be personal, or
institutional.
| | 00:16 |
In the One-iPad classroom, it is
literally the teacher and probably 25
| | 00:22 |
students with one iPad.
It's best done with a laptop and a WiFi
| | 00:27 |
network for syncing.
In order to have a one-iPad classroom,
| | 00:33 |
it's important to discuss sharing the
iPad with the students and to come up
| | 00:37 |
with rules and time management for that.
Often the teacher projects and demos from
| | 00:42 |
the Ipad.
But the teacher can also setup a campfire
| | 00:46 |
style and work in small groups.
The teacher can assign the iPad to a
| | 00:49 |
group of students.
They can go off and work on a project.
| | 00:53 |
Its a project based learning approach.
And its important to rotate through the
| | 00:58 |
teams and set time limits.
the teacher can also pass the iPad from
| | 01:03 |
student to student.
For example, reading or recording for
| | 01:06 |
narration, where the student says their
name at the beginning and then records
| | 01:10 |
some important information or a response.
Again, setting up a rotation schedule
| | 01:15 |
will make it much, much better for
everyone.
| | 01:18 |
Some teachers do student drawings, you
can actually win a day with the iPad.
| | 01:23 |
The way I've heard the system working the
best is the teacher does a drawing.
| | 01:26 |
If there are 25 students there are 25
numbers.
| | 01:30 |
And every student pulls a number and
that's the day they are assigned.
| | 01:33 |
And when that rotation is completed they
start again with a new drawing.
| | 01:37 |
For small groups, the teacher leads,
passes the iPad to the students.
| | 01:41 |
And, again, makes sure that there's equal
time for sharing.
| | 01:45 |
There are a lot of techniques for a one
iPad classroom.
| | 01:48 |
You have to be a little bit more
strategic.
| | 01:50 |
You can use it for your own personal
management of the class or for doing
| | 01:53 |
projects with your students, calendars,
group annotation.
| | 01:57 |
Class blog, archiving, capturing
webpages, group reading or group
| | 02:02 |
activities, collaborative ebooks.
Actually setting up a class researcher
| | 02:07 |
just like we use to go to the dictionary
at the back of the room.
| | 02:10 |
For historical references, for magazines,
for newspapers, for field trips.
| | 02:17 |
And often used techinique is to let each
student in the class have a chance to
| | 02:21 |
take photos, to make videos, and to do
voice narration.
| | 02:25 |
And then when they get back to the
classroom, put that together to make a
| | 02:29 |
multi-media piece.
Quizzes and flash cards, and I've even
| | 02:33 |
heard of teachers communicating with apps
and students synchronously or asynchronously.
| | 02:39 |
And the rest of the class gets to see
that student in video chat.
| | 02:43 |
Brain storming is always great.
Then, the old reliables of DropBox,
| | 02:47 |
GoodReader, VoiceThread.
Any kinds of applications that sync with
| | 02:51 |
the laptop or the Cloud.
I'd like to show you a couple of internet sites.
| | 02:56 |
In Elementary Ed Tech, the teachers
actually created some data about the uses
| | 03:02 |
of a single iPad classroom.
Whether it was for projection, or
| | 03:05 |
gathering it around, or passing it
around.
| | 03:09 |
And then they gave some different systems
and strategies for making it equitable
| | 03:13 |
amongst the students.
In Elizabeth's blog, she goes into quite
| | 03:18 |
a bit of detail on her strategies and
gives you some really specific examples
| | 03:23 |
of how to implement the one iPad
classroom.
| | 03:25 |
She goes through the set up and
projection, then she talks about finding apps.
| | 03:32 |
And then she puts some of her favorite
apps for communicating and sharing.
| | 03:35 |
It's a great blog and a great way for a
teacher to get up and running in a
| | 03:39 |
one-iPad classroom.
The second model is the student owned
| | 03:44 |
device model, or what is currently being
called, BYOD, bring your own device.
| | 03:50 |
In this model, the user, the student and
or the family purchases the iPad.
| | 03:55 |
The user owns the content and manages the
account.
| | 03:58 |
It is important for the school to
communicate to the student and to the
| | 04:02 |
parents, what apps are needed for
specific courses and lessons at that school.
| | 04:08 |
The school provides WiFi, AirPlay enabled
printers and projection solutions.
| | 04:13 |
Some of the models I've heard to make
this accessible to all the families
| | 04:18 |
include .
There's buying the iPad outright or
| | 04:21 |
loaning the iPad from the school to the
family or the student for a fixed amount
| | 04:26 |
of money that covers the insurance if
it's lost or stolen.
| | 04:30 |
And finally leasing the iPad in small
monthly increments.
| | 04:34 |
So during the duration of the tenure of
the student whether it's four, six or two
| | 04:38 |
years the student and the family actually
pay off the cost of the iPad.
| | 04:44 |
In the third model, the school-owned
device model, there's two ways I've seen
| | 04:49 |
it used.
There's the personal ownership model and
| | 04:52 |
the institutional ownership model.
In the institutional model, it's usually
| | 04:56 |
a one on one classroom set.
In the personal ownership model it's a
| | 05:01 |
one on one as well.
The school-owned iPad is supplied to each
| | 05:05 |
student in the program.
And the student has 24/7 access to the
| | 05:09 |
iPad and can take it freely to school and
from home.
| | 05:12 |
This cost of the iPad is usually rolled
into the tuition, where the fees that are
| | 05:17 |
attached with that class or that school.
The user owns the account, the content,
| | 05:23 |
and manages the account.
The most popular, and what I see the
| | 05:26 |
fastest growing model being used by many,
many schools across the country from K
| | 05:31 |
through 12 and in higher ed, is the
Institutional ownership model.
| | 05:35 |
Where the school actually provides a
classroom set of iPads, so that every
| | 05:39 |
student has access to an iPad, but only
in the classroom setting.
| | 05:44 |
Content from both the user and the
institution can coexist on this device.
| | 05:49 |
All iTunes accounts and apps are managed
and synced by the institution.
| | 05:53 |
The students do not use their personal
iTunes account.
| | 05:57 |
In this model, there is typically a
manager of the volume purchasing program
| | 06:02 |
that you can get through Apple.
You can purchase apps with purchase
| | 06:06 |
orders, the volume vouchers, credit
cards, pc cards, or Paypal accounts.
| | 06:12 |
The teachers check out the iPad
classroom, anywhere from a day to an
| | 06:17 |
entire semester, to an entire school
year.
| | 06:20 |
The teacher needs to feel comfortable
with integrating technology in the program.
| | 06:25 |
And to be able to actively demonstrate
that they're using the devices for
| | 06:29 |
teaching and learning within their
program.
| | 06:32 |
I highly suggest that the classroom space
be flexible and adaptable.
| | 06:35 |
Tables and chairs work much better than
theater rows.
| | 06:39 |
In the 3 models, take the time to examine
and explore the functions of the iPad
| | 06:45 |
within your classroom and your curriculum
and your institution.
| | 06:49 |
You, your colleagues and staff will
determine what model to implement.
| | 06:54 |
With a plan, an implementation in place,
the teacher is ready for creating a
| | 06:59 |
learning environment for the iPad
classroom.
| | 07:02 |
The opportunities to refresh and infuse
your teaching in your class will make
| | 07:06 |
using the iPad fun.
And allow you to bring flexibility,
| | 07:10 |
versatility, mobility, portability,
adaptability and agility to your classroom.
| | 07:16 |
It's also a chance to focus again on
learning goals that promote critical
| | 07:22 |
thinking, creativity, collaboration and
creation of student centric learning environments.
| | 07:28 |

| Using iPads with a learning management system (LMS)| 00:00 |
Many of you teachers out there are
currently working an LMS or an enterprise
| | 00:05 |
level LMS, at your school.
LMS means Learning Management System.
| | 00:10 |
The first objective in using any LMS with
the iPad, is to test how that system
| | 00:15 |
works within the Safari browser.
Secondly, see what features work on the iPad.
| | 00:21 |
Some activities and features are just
better done on a computer, inside the LMS.
| | 00:26 |
Finally, check to see if the companion
apps have been developed for the
| | 00:29 |
enterprise system that you have at your
school.
| | 00:32 |
Did your school purchase that?
Are they turned on, are they adopted, are
| | 00:36 |
they implemented, are they being
supported?
| | 00:39 |
Again, the version and permissions are a
factor in it's compatibility with the iPad.
| | 00:45 |
In this movie, I will compare features
and apps of several of the main learning
| | 00:48 |
management systems, but I must remind
you, this is a fast evolving area, new
| | 00:52 |
iPad apps and LMS systems emerge weekly.
Blackboard is one of the largest and
| | 00:59 |
oldest learning management systems.
They have created a Mobile Platform.
| | 01:03 |
On the Blackboard website, you can go to
the Mobile Platform to see the overview
| | 01:08 |
of what they're supporting and how
they're integrating mobile devices with
| | 01:12 |
their LMS.
They are now supporting for cellphones,
| | 01:16 |
tablets, and other devices.
They have in fact created an app that
| | 01:21 |
works with the Blackboard system.
In looking at any app that works with the
| | 01:26 |
learning management system.
The first thing you want to do is click
| | 01:29 |
on the More button.
Not all of the apps that work with
| | 01:33 |
learning management systems are free.
As you can see with the Blackboard one it
| | 01:37 |
does cost money.
And don't forget to read the little notes
| | 01:41 |
at the bottom.
It says that your institution has to
| | 01:44 |
enable support for this feature.
Finally, when you're looking and
| | 01:48 |
evaluating apps for your learning
management system, be sure and check out
| | 01:52 |
the screenshots.
These will let you know if it's doing the
| | 01:55 |
kinds of things you expect it to do.
Are these features for teachers or are
| | 01:59 |
these features for students?
Is this what I'm expecting to see?
| | 02:03 |
Does this environment look similar to the
environment of the learning management
| | 02:07 |
system on a website?
These are all important questions to ask yourself.
| | 02:12 |
A relatively new entry to the learning
management system is Canvas.
| | 02:17 |
Canvas works in a much different way than
many of the other learning management systems.
| | 02:21 |
It is particularly web based.
It works not dissimilarly to the way
| | 02:26 |
Facebook does.
They do a lot of iterative development,
| | 02:30 |
daily, weekly, things change.
They also have a very strong API
| | 02:35 |
development, so that many, many things
are being added every day that plug and
| | 02:39 |
play within the learning management
system.
| | 02:43 |
Their feeling is that its not really
about apps as much as the functionality
| | 02:47 |
that this website works anywhere in any
environment.
| | 02:50 |
It works on a station, it works on a cell
phone, and it works inside a tablet.
| | 02:56 |
Canvas supports two apps.
One of the apps is Student Facing the
| | 03:00 |
second app is Teacher Facing.
What we're looking at right now Canvas
| | 03:04 |
for IOS is the student app.
Again it's important to go down and look
| | 03:09 |
at the screenshots.
As you can see it's very similar to the
| | 03:13 |
way the LMS looks inside a browser on a
workstation or a laptop.
| | 03:17 |
And you can do many of the things you
would expect to do in a LMS system
| | 03:21 |
directly from this app.
The second app developed for Canvas is
| | 03:27 |
SpeedGrader for iPad.
It's targeted at teachers.
| | 03:29 |
It's for grading things that they're
doing within the LMS in their course.
| | 03:34 |
If you go down and look at the iPad
screen shots, their idea is that a lot of
| | 03:39 |
teachers are using the iPad as a
management tool, and that this app is to
| | 03:43 |
support them in what they are doing in
the classroom in grading.
| | 03:47 |
You can edit and annotate, you can
actually send videos to the students and
| | 03:52 |
give feedback, and you can preview the
different things that students have done
| | 03:55 |
in many many kinds of media.
Desire2Learn, also has a mobile platform
| | 04:02 |
just like Blackboard.
As you can see on this website, they
| | 04:05 |
describe what their platform is and how
they're supporting things on mobile devices.
| | 04:09 |
Primarily through Assignment Grader,
Campus Life, and what they call the Binder.
| | 04:14 |
We're going to take a look at the Binder,
which is really targeted on students.
| | 04:20 |
The Binder is literally what you might
think of.
| | 04:22 |
It's a metaphor for a notebook.
They're thinking that the student will
| | 04:26 |
want to aggregate all of their notes,
their lessons, and everything that they
| | 04:29 |
do in the learning management system in
one place.
| | 04:32 |
So, they've created an app that does that
on the iPad.
| | 04:37 |
When you look at the screenshots, you can
see that it sets up a metaphor like I
| | 04:40 |
said of a notebook.
You can see the different topics in the
| | 04:43 |
courses you're taking.
You can click on those topics, you can go
| | 04:46 |
further in, read, annotate, make
comments, refresh, and do all kinds of
| | 04:52 |
things inside of this iPad app for the
learning management system provided by Desire2Learn.
| | 04:59 |
Moodle, or Moodlerooms is an open-source
learning management system.
| | 05:04 |
Most schools have developers that do
proprietary development for this Moodle
| | 05:09 |
learning management system on their
campus.
| | 05:11 |
So, from one campus to the next, Moodle
might look very, very different, because
| | 05:15 |
you can customize and because it's open
source.
| | 05:18 |
As you can see, they have four different
applications that they're supporting,
| | 05:22 |
mtouch, mtouch+, moodlEZ, and mtouchu.
It links to the different places on the
| | 05:30 |
store, and you can see what each of them
do, or you can take a look here.
| | 05:33 |
I'm going to go straight to the store and
show you the one that most of the people
| | 05:37 |
are using.
mTouch+ is being used by a lot of
| | 05:41 |
students today.
At first when you look at the
| | 05:44 |
screenshots, you may be a little
disappointed.
| | 05:46 |
Because it's open source, it leaves open
containers for school's to customize and
| | 05:50 |
develop according to the way that site
would appear at that school.
| | 05:53 |
But as you got further into the
screenshots, you see there's a log in,
| | 05:57 |
you see the tabbed references on the side
like many of the learning management
| | 06:01 |
systems have.
You see there's a place to set up your
| | 06:03 |
profile settings, and a way to share
documents and do a number of things on
| | 06:09 |
the iPad.
It particularly accommodates doing video,
| | 06:13 |
the camera roll, and it references and
integrates into some of the systems
| | 06:16 |
already available that ship with the
iPad.
| | 06:19 |
Edmodo's not really what you might call a
learning management system.
| | 06:25 |
But I put it in to this list because it's
being used by a number of K through 12
| | 06:29 |
institutions as a community platform for
teachers, parents, administrators, and
| | 06:35 |
students to share ideas about teaching
and learning.
| | 06:38 |
Edmodo also has created an app.
Its won all kinds of awards, it works
| | 06:45 |
with iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad.
Its an easy way for teachers and students
| | 06:49 |
to stay connected.
As I said it has a little bit of a
| | 06:52 |
community, or social networking
environment to it.
| | 06:56 |
As we look at the screenshots you can see
that it's very visual, it's very easy to
| | 07:00 |
understand what you can do and what you
can't do.
| | 07:02 |
And that you can give lots of commentary
and feedback to students, and students
| | 07:06 |
can have that with each other as well.
You can also see that it integrates with
| | 07:11 |
some of the key features that ship with
the iPad.
| | 07:14 |
That you can open in drop box, you can
have quick looks, you can do mail.
| | 07:17 |
And again this idea of file sharing and
using different kinds of media within
| | 07:23 |
your learning management system.
Sakai is also an open source learning
| | 07:28 |
management system.
It's used by many of the major
| | 07:30 |
insitutions in this country.
It's use by Indiana State University, it
| | 07:34 |
was just adopted by Duke.
It doesn't really support Safari browser
| | 07:39 |
in the way a lot of people would like,
and therefore, there are a lot of
| | 07:42 |
comments on the bulletin board and on the
chats about how Safari and Sakai are
| | 07:47 |
maybe not good matches.
But, there's a workaround for this.
| | 07:50 |
If you download the Bing app or the
Google app, you can put those apps on
| | 07:55 |
your iPad and then access Sakai from
there.
| | 07:58 |
All of the major LMS work within a
browser and they support both on-line
| | 08:03 |
hybrid and face-to-face teaching.
Take the time to evaluate the apps that
| | 08:08 |
integrate with your existing campus
systems.
| | 08:11 |
Test the apps on the iPad with your
students to make sure that they work for
| | 08:16 |
you and you can use them inside the
class.
| | 08:18 |
Discuss with your LMS support people on
campus about using apps and the LMS in
| | 08:23 |
your iPad classroom.
Consider if your school does not have an
| | 08:28 |
LMS using one of the many free systems
available such as wikispaces.com.
| | 08:33 |
With the integration of the iPad in your
classroom you're creating a virtual and
| | 08:38 |
location-based learning environment.
Design this environment, so the students
| | 08:41 |
can seamlessly move between the two
worlds.
| | 08:44 |

| Creating a classroom LMS with Wikispaces| 00:00 |
In setting up your iPad classroom, think
about setting up a virtual, or cloud classroom.
| | 00:05 |
Wikis are great, because the research
work and collaborative tools are
| | 00:10 |
excellent for teaching team building.
Scholarly and academic research on the
| | 00:14 |
web and creating evidence of your
students' research and knowledge
| | 00:18 |
building, long after the course is over.
After the end of the course, the Wiki
| | 00:23 |
goes with the student, not with the
school.
| | 00:26 |
For this course I have chosen to set up
my virtual classroom in wikispaces.com.
| | 00:32 |
It's a shared working space for learning,
communication, and academic research.
| | 00:36 |
In which myself and each of my students
has full rights to edit and to add to the
| | 00:41 |
knowledge and processes we develop
throughout a course.
| | 00:44 |
Wikispaces provide a fast, easy,
affordable, and intuitive way to
| | 00:48 |
communicate to individuals, teams, and
the entire class.
| | 00:53 |
Each student can edit, see, respond,
share, and disseminate work, projects,
| | 00:58 |
and research.
And it only takes a student about 15
| | 01:01 |
minutes to become a pro.
I have chosen to work with wikispaces.com
| | 01:06 |
for the last 3 years because it is free,
open source, secure protocol.
| | 01:10 |
And the work, research, projects, and
results stay with the students.
| | 01:14 |
Let's set up a course page on Wikispaces.
This allows you to create a secure
| | 01:18 |
dedicated Wiki environment.
Normally, this would cost a fee, but as
| | 01:23 |
an educator, you get this feature free.
Select Teachers, this is the Log In page
| | 01:40 |
for creating your account.
Select your Industry, which is Higher Ed
| | 01:44 |
in this case.
Here, when you get to the Wiki Name, this
| | 01:48 |
should be name of your course, not our
own personal name.
| | 01:52 |
So since I'm teaching a design course,
I'm going to type in design 105, use a
| | 01:59 |
hyphen and type the semester, which will
be Spring 13.
| | 02:05 |
For educational purposes, I always check
the box saying I'm using it for higher education.
| | 02:10 |
This allows me to have a secure protocol
for my site.
| | 02:15 |
You get a welcome message, and if you are
not familiar with Wikispaces, I highly
| | 02:19 |
encourage you to go ahead and look at the
tour.
| | 02:22 |
But for the purposes of this course, I'm
going to close this box.
| | 02:26 |
The first thing I like to do is set up my
home page with a customized welcome message.
| | 02:30 |
In order to do this, I just simply click
on the Edit button.
| | 02:36 |
As you can see when I do that, I'm now in
a editor that looks not unlike what you
| | 02:40 |
might see in a blog or WordPress.
There is nothing in the Getting Started
| | 02:44 |
area that I want my students to be able
to do.
| | 02:46 |
I don't want them to manage the Wiki or
be able to invite people.
| | 02:50 |
And I don't want them to change the look
and feel.
| | 02:52 |
And I don't want them in charge of
permissions, so I'm going to Delete this section.
| | 02:58 |
I can change the color here and I like to
customize things, so I'm going to come in
| | 03:02 |
here and say, Welcome to Design 105.
Then I'll put in my name, Instructor.
| | 03:13 |
And then I usually add my email, so that
the students can contact me directly from
| | 03:18 |
the home page.
As you can see, when I type in my email
| | 03:23 |
address, it doesn't look like a link.
I need to select my email address, go up
| | 03:29 |
to the Link button, select Email, and as
good practice.
| | 03:34 |
And to make a more accessible site, I'm
going to select my email address, put it
| | 03:39 |
here, so that when I roll over this link,
I can see where that link goes.
| | 03:44 |
Now I'll select, Add Link, and you can
see that I have made my link hot.
| | 03:48 |
If you want to change any of the colors,
you can, I'm going to change mine to dark
| | 03:53 |
gray type because it's a little easier on
the eye.
| | 03:56 |
So I'm going to select the T button with
color palette behind it.
| | 04:01 |
Click on Text Color, come over and choose
the dark gray, and then click Apply Styles.
| | 04:09 |
Now that I've got my landing page
together, I can come in here and add some content.
| | 04:14 |
I typically put in my course docs.
And one of the things you'll see is that
| | 04:19 |
it's not keeping the grey type just
because I wrote in course docs, it's gone
| | 04:23 |
back to black.
If I want to change that I have to select
| | 04:27 |
it, go up to the T key, click on gray,
apply styles.
| | 04:34 |
Now I'm going to upload my syllabus and
my materiel list that I've created as PDFs.
| | 04:39 |
To upload a file click on the File
button, choose Upload Files, I'll go to
| | 04:48 |
the Desktop.
Scroll over to my list in my exercise files.
| | 04:54 |
Materials and syllabus are what I want.
I can, Shift+click to get all of those
| | 05:00 |
items in at the same time, select Open.
And this may take a little bit of time
| | 05:05 |
depending on your internet connection and
what size the files are.
| | 05:09 |
You can upload all kinds of media.
Once you see the icon appear you can
| | 05:15 |
select those to insert.
When I put my I beam in there, you can
| | 05:21 |
see that the syllabus has now been added.
I'm going to hit the Space key, click on
| | 05:27 |
the File button, and now Add Materials.
And now, you can see that I have both of
| | 05:34 |
my PDFs inserted into the home page.
Then remember to Save.
| | 05:39 |
It does a very good job of keeping track
of what you're doing.
| | 05:42 |
If you make a mistake, it can Autosave,
it can go back to a last save version,
| | 05:47 |
and it can tell you all the history of
what time and when you made all the changes.
| | 05:51 |
So there's been times when I've had
problems with the website that I've
| | 05:55 |
actually gone back a whole day and rest
it back to the day before.
| | 05:58 |
So if something goes wonky or crazy you
can do that inside a Wiki.
| | 06:03 |
As you can see, it's got everything that
I need for the home page to greet my
| | 06:07 |
students on day one.
I like to create a few other pages for my
| | 06:11 |
students right off the bat, so they know
where projects are going to be and where
| | 06:14 |
the calendar is.
To select new pages, I'll select Pages
| | 06:17 |
and Files, I'll select the New Page
button and this page will be called projects.
| | 06:29 |
I like to add tags because tags make your
site searchable.
| | 06:32 |
And it also makes it easier with the SEO
engines and any of the web browsers.
| | 06:36 |
So I'll type projects, hit the Return
key, and then I'll type design 105.
| | 06:44 |
Hit the Return key, then I'll select
Create.
| | 06:50 |
I now have created a blank page.
I instantly give the page a name, so that
| | 06:54 |
my students know what will be going on on
this page.
| | 07:01 |
And then I like to give it a heading,
I'll select that.
| | 07:04 |
And if you are familiar with the web,
you'll know about these different headings.
| | 07:07 |
I tend to choose Heading 2, Heading 1 is
a little bit too big.
| | 07:11 |
Again, I'm trying to be consistent with
my, my color palette.
| | 07:14 |
I'll make that gray and hit Apply Styles.
That's all I'm going to do right now.
| | 07:19 |
I haven't created a first project and I
don't have any handouts to upload, but if
| | 07:23 |
I did, I would add those now for the
first day of class, and then select Save.
| | 07:30 |
The other page that I create right away
is a Calendar page.
| | 07:34 |
I want to have a way for the students to
see what we are doing in class, what's
| | 07:37 |
coming up.
And if they miss class because of an
| | 07:40 |
absence, they can check the calendar.
So I'll select Pages and Files one more time.
| | 07:47 |
Then I'll select New Page, type in the
word calendar.
| | 07:54 |
Add my tags, hit Return, Add design 105
hit Return, and then select Create.
| | 08:08 |
Again, the first thing I want to do, put
what this is, select the type, and give
| | 08:18 |
it a Heading 2.
Go to my Text and Color tool, select
| | 08:26 |
Text, select grey and Apply Styles.
Finally always remember to Save.
| | 08:37 |
So now if you look over in my navigation
area.
| | 08:39 |
You can see that I have all of my
Management tools at the top and below I
| | 08:44 |
can see all of my papers that I have
created so far.
| | 08:48 |
One of the nice features here is that you
can make certain pages have more prominence.
| | 08:53 |
For instance, I want the calendar to be
an important page.
| | 08:56 |
So I'm going to select this right here.
And notice the calendar went up into the
| | 09:00 |
Favorites area.
I also want the projects to be an
| | 09:03 |
important page for the students.
So I'm going to select the star, and then
| | 09:08 |
finally, I'm going to select the star on
the homepage.
| | 09:12 |
Now I've got the three most important
pages for the Wiki and for my class.
| | 09:17 |
To manage the Wiki click on the Manage
Wiki and here you can go and change the
| | 09:23 |
look and feel of your Wiki.
I'm going to choose Themes and Colors.
| | 09:29 |
And on of my favorite sites is this Flex
or the FlexFluid.
| | 09:33 |
Depends on whether you like a fixed width
layout or if you like a stretchy.
| | 09:37 |
I'm going to choose flex.
And then they have a number of
| | 09:41 |
predesigned palettes for you, you can
even customize these.
| | 09:45 |
I'm going to chose the turquoise one, and
then select Apply.
| | 09:50 |
Instantly, I have a totally new look for
my Wiki.
| | 09:52 |
And I get this affordance, it says that
I've done it successfully.
| | 09:56 |
Whenever you make any changes in your
Wiki, it will give you a green for, yes,
| | 10:02 |
you did it right or a red box, no, you
did it incorrectly.
| | 10:08 |
So I'd like to add my own logo.
I give each of my classes its own, unique
| | 10:12 |
logo, so I'm going back tout to Manage
Wiki, and select Look and Feel.
| | 10:16 |
I'm going to scroll down to Logo, and
choose a file that I have on the desktop.
| | 10:25 |
Select Logo, select Open, then choose
Save.
| | 10:29 |
Again I get the affordance, saying I've
done it correctly.
| | 10:34 |
And now you can see I have a customized
layout and color scheme with my own
| | 10:38 |
personal class logo.
There are a couple of other things I
| | 10:42 |
wanted to show you in Manage Wiki.
You can get to your permissions.
| | 10:46 |
So if at any time you need to change the
permissions of that page, you can change that.
| | 10:52 |
Notice I have a Private Wiki, so that
only the members of this Wiki can view
| | 10:56 |
and edit pages.
This is very important for an educational
| | 10:59 |
site where you want it to be a closed
group with only the people in your class
| | 11:03 |
editing that site.
And then I'll select Update, if I go back
| | 11:09 |
to Manage Wiki.
So now to invite students to join your
| | 11:13 |
wiki select Invite People.
And typically what I do the first day of
| | 11:18 |
class, is that I make all of my students
come over to my station just at breaktime
| | 11:24 |
or just before the end of class.
And type in their own email address.
| | 11:28 |
I will never see this email address
again, that's one of the nice things
| | 11:32 |
about a Wiki.
I will only see their profile name and no
| | 11:36 |
one else in the class will ever see their
personal email.
| | 11:38 |
The reason I have students type in their
own email address is that, they often
| | 11:44 |
give the school an email address that
they don't actually use.
| | 11:48 |
And so this way, I want to be able to
know that the email address they're using
| | 11:51 |
is the one that I can communicate with
them.
| | 11:54 |
So I'm going to type in my email address
to invite myself.
| | 12:01 |
And then I can go down and customize this
message.
| | 12:04 |
Typically I'll put at the bottom of it,
Welcome to Design 105.
| | 12:09 |
And then sign off Best.
I also might add my email address one
| | 12:19 |
more time.
I like to give them my email address as
| | 12:22 |
many times as I can the first week of
school.
| | 12:25 |
As soon as I have done that, if I select
members.
| | 12:30 |
I can go down to Pending Email
Invitations, and see that I have sent out
| | 12:34 |
the emails.
And as soon as the students join, their
| | 12:38 |
profile will join mine up here.
At this point, the next thing that I
| | 12:42 |
want to do, is teach you how to send
email to the students.
| | 12:46 |
I can send one email just to one student
by clicking on the profile name.
| | 12:51 |
But if I want to send an email to the
entire class, I have to make sure to go
| | 12:55 |
to the dropdown menu and select the Wiki
of the course that I'm working on.
| | 13:00 |
And I'll put in a subject matter, which
is, Welcome, and I'll say, Glad you
| | 13:06 |
signed up, See you in next class meeting.
And this way, by doing a follow up email,
| | 13:14 |
my students know that I've received their
profile, and that they're signed up correctly.
| | 13:24 |
And we can test the email to make sure
they all understand how it works.
| | 13:28 |
The email will show up from Wikipaces,
and say a member of the Wiki Space that
| | 13:32 |
you joined in, has sent you an email.
There's one more thing I want to show you
| | 13:38 |
in manage Wiki before we get ready to go
on to the next movie and set up a calendar.
| | 13:43 |
Down at the bottom of your dashboard
here, you'll see that there's something
| | 13:46 |
called Wiki Statistics.
Now, I've just started this wiki, so you
| | 13:50 |
won't see a lot of activity.
But this is a great way for you to start
| | 13:54 |
getting analytics on the usage and the
amount of input that your students are
| | 13:59 |
doing in the Wiki.
It updates frequently, it's in Real-Time.
| | 14:03 |
So, I've been teaching a class now for
about two months, I'm half way to the semester.
| | 14:07 |
And you can actively see that on every
Sunday, before the new week starts, my
| | 14:11 |
students are going in to check what
assignments and materials they need for
| | 14:15 |
the following week.
I can also see who many people have added
| | 14:18 |
to the Wiki giving us information and
doing things like that.
| | 14:21 |
Lastly, I also encourage my students to
create their own pages and files.
| | 14:26 |
Every student is allowed to create one
page with their own unique username.
| | 14:31 |
Students can continue to manage this
community and network long after their
| | 14:34 |
one semester with myself.
It literally becomes a resource they can
| | 14:39 |
return to again, and again, much the same
way we keep journals and sketchbooks.
| | 14:45 |
Once the structure is set up each member
and the teacher have the rights to edit
| | 14:49 |
and contribute to the Wikispace.
In my course we decide and agree upon a
| | 14:54 |
few rules.
Rule number one, No one can delete
| | 14:58 |
another's works, or writings.
However, they can challenge information
| | 15:02 |
by posting or sending an email to the
contributor.
| | 15:05 |
The contributor has 48 hours to address,
answer, or change the challenge.
| | 15:12 |
Number two, contributors can not work on
the same page at the same time.
| | 15:17 |
They will end up deleting each other's
work.
| | 15:20 |
Number 3, each student is invited to
create their own page titled with their
| | 15:24 |
name, first and last, not a profile.
And they may manage that unique page for
| | 15:29 |
their own work.
Now, to add the calendar and have the
| | 15:32 |
students subscribe to the calendar and
we're never out of touch.
| | 15:35 |
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Creating and subscribing to a classroom calendar| 00:00 |
One of the many advantages to a Google
account is the calendar.
| | 00:03 |
In the calendar, the teacher can create a
new calendar that can be shared and
| | 00:09 |
viewed online.
And even inserted into the learning
| | 00:12 |
management system.
In this movie, I will show how to use an
| | 00:16 |
existing calendar for a course.
How to share the calendar, and finally
| | 00:21 |
how to insert the calendar into your
wikispaces.
| | 00:24 |
If you're unsure how to create a
calendar, I recommend that you watch the
| | 00:28 |
Lynda.com course Google Calendar
Essential Training.
| | 00:33 |
I really encourage my students to
subscribe to the Google Calendar.
| | 00:37 |
In years of teaching and polling
students, they are never far from their
| | 00:40 |
cell phones.
Approximately 90% of the students I have
| | 00:43 |
polled actually sleep with their phones
at arm reach.
| | 00:46 |
The cell phone or smartphone is thus an
excellent way to keep in touch with the student.
| | 00:51 |
That gives them anytime, anywhere access
to your course.
| | 00:54 |
With little fuss and no worry about
logins and passwords.
| | 00:59 |
So in Google, I have created a calendar
for the Rue Academy for the course that
| | 01:03 |
I'm teaching, and you're looking at it
right now.
| | 01:05 |
What I typically do, it's easy to set up
the different dates and times.
| | 01:10 |
I just set them up as though they're
events, but much longer events.
| | 01:14 |
So if I click on Design 105 for the first
day of the spring semester, I click on
| | 01:19 |
the Edit button.
And as you can see, there are a number of
| | 01:23 |
things I can use for a calendar system
for a course that's different than the
| | 01:26 |
way I would set up an appointment.
For the where, I always put the course's
| | 01:30 |
room number, and if we're going to be
going on a field trip or somewhere
| | 01:33 |
different, then I can add that into the
calendar, as well.
| | 01:36 |
But in the description area, I put down
what we did that day.
| | 01:40 |
What they need to do for the next class
period, and any homework.
| | 01:44 |
If there's an important due date for a
quiz, a test, or critique, I type it in
| | 01:51 |
all capital letters.
That way it's easy for the student to
| | 01:54 |
scan to see if that day, there's an
important event in the class.
| | 01:58 |
I keep the calendar done two weeks ahead
of time, so that students can manage
| | 02:03 |
their time and see when assignments are
due and what's coming up in the next two weeks.
| | 02:08 |
I don't promise more than two weeks,
because with the iPad classroom, I find
| | 02:11 |
that having flexibility and changing your
mind an essential part of teaching.
| | 02:16 |
Now to share a calendar, I first save any
of the new data I've put into my calendar.
| | 02:21 |
And when the dialogue box comes up asking
should I save it only for this event or
| | 02:26 |
across, make sure that you save only for
that event.
| | 02:29 |
If you shared across the calendar, you'll
be giving every single day the same
| | 02:33 |
pieces of information.
To share the calendar, simply scroll down
| | 02:37 |
to where your calendar is, mine is Rafael
Montresso, select the triangle, and
| | 02:42 |
choose Calendar Settings.
Scroll down to the area where it says
| | 02:48 |
Embed This Calendar.
Select everything that is in this box
| | 02:53 |
that says iFrame.
Make sure you get it all, and that you
| | 02:56 |
get all the way to the close tag.
Copy this information.
| | 03:03 |
Then return to your wikispace.
Back in the Wikipage, I'm going to click
| | 03:07 |
on my calender page, and I'll select the
Edit button.
| | 03:13 |
Make sure I have everything where I want
it.
| | 03:18 |
It really helps to insert your (UNKNOWN)
in exactly where you want to insert the
| | 03:21 |
calendar, so I'm going to hit the Return
key twice.
| | 03:24 |
Then select Widget, and this is a really
fun popup box that you get inside the
| | 03:31 |
wiki spaces.
But remember we're going to focus on calendar.
| | 03:34 |
There's so many things that you can use
inside of your wiki space.
| | 03:39 |
I will select the Google calendar, and as
you can see, it gives me the three steps
| | 03:44 |
on how to do exactly what we just did
inside of Google calendar.
| | 03:48 |
So if you forget this, the wikispaces
reminds you.
| | 03:52 |
I'm going all the way down to the last
box, pasting that information, selecting
| | 03:59 |
Preview to make sure it works.
Yes, that makes me feel very good.
| | 04:05 |
Close the box and then remember to select
Save.
| | 04:10 |
Now don't be worried when you see this,
you're still in preview mode, you haven't saved.
| | 04:14 |
So you're going to select Save.
And voila, you have your calendar
| | 04:20 |
inserted into your wiki space.
What's great is I select and go back to
| | 04:25 |
the first day of class, the one we just
edited inside of Google calendar.
| | 04:31 |
All of the information about the class
and what they need to do for the first
| | 04:35 |
day is there.
They can copy this to their own calendar.
| | 04:40 |
They can find this calendar anytime they
log into the wiki.
| | 04:44 |
They can also click on this button down
at the bottom-right that says Google
| | 04:48 |
calendar, and here they can do many, many
things.
| | 04:51 |
They can do exactly what I just did.
They can click on this calendar, go to
| | 04:56 |
Calendar Settings.
They can receive an iCalendar version of
| | 05:00 |
it and import it into their calendar that
they keep.
| | 05:03 |
Or, what I tell many of the students to
do if they don't feel comfortable with
| | 05:09 |
importing a calendar is to select the
HTML button, Copy and Paste this URL into
| | 05:15 |
email and send themselves an email, and
never delete this email for the entire semester.
| | 05:21 |
Then select OK.
So typically, I will send a message a
| | 05:26 |
week, usually on Sunday to my students.
But as you can see, this really gives me
| | 05:32 |
a great way to keep in contact with my
students and remind them what's going on.
| | 05:37 |
There's really no reason for excuses when
you're using a Google Calendar and
| | 05:40 |
sharing it in your class wikispace.
Congratulations with your LMS setup for
| | 05:46 |
posting, disseminating, calendaring, and
communicating the class' setup for
| | 05:51 |
students to learn peer-to-peer 24 seven.
And learn how to run a community and a
| | 05:56 |
virtual or cloud team work space.
In the next chapter, see the setup for an
| | 06:01 |
actual syncing and charging of the iPad
card administered using the Apple configurator.

2. Setting Up the iPad ClassroomManaging iPads in your classroom| 00:00 |
There are several lab configurations you
can use to set up your iPad classroom.
| | 00:05 |
Through the Apple store, your school may
purchase a preconfigured Apple iPad
| | 00:10 |
Learning Lab, or custom build a lab to
suit your school's needs.
| | 00:14 |
The Apple iPad Learning Lab is a portable
system with a set of 10 to 30 iPad
| | 00:20 |
devices, it comes fully assembled, sturdy
and secure with the Bretford power sync cart.
| | 00:28 |
In addition it has extra storage for a
Macbook Pro, or Macbook Air computer.
| | 00:34 |
It easily rolls from classroom to
classroom, and includes a secure locking device.
| | 00:40 |
There is also a smaller solution.
The Bretford PowerRack for iPad.
| | 00:45 |
It is designed for the iPad, but it also
is compatible with the iPod Touch.
| | 00:50 |
It charges and stores 10 iPads or up to
20 iPods.
| | 00:55 |
It charges, syncs, stores and secures.
It too has a durable hard shell case.
| | 01:02 |
On the Bretford site, you can see the
power rack and the different
| | 01:07 |
configurations that you can purchase for
your school.
| | 01:11 |
There are three ways to configure iPads
at your school.
| | 01:14 |
The first one is manually, I suggest this
for the teacher's iPad.
| | 01:20 |
It's the simplest configuration method,
but it is manual.
| | 01:24 |
The teacher downloads apps the usual way,
and manages the iTunes account personally.
| | 01:29 |
It's best for a small number of iPads.
The second method is using the profiles
| | 01:36 |
with the Apple Configurator app.
This is the method that I will demonstrate.
| | 01:41 |
It's best for a large number of devices,
quickly configured with specific
| | 01:46 |
settings, apps and data.
The Apple Configurator distributes apps
| | 01:51 |
purchased with Volume Purchase Program,
free apps, and other app-based content,
| | 01:57 |
such us keynote presentations, pages
documents, or any documents for apps that
| | 02:03 |
support iTunes file sharing.
The third method is the mobile device
| | 02:09 |
management solution, or what is called
MDM.
| | 02:12 |
MDM is a capability for schools to
securely enroll devices in their network,
| | 02:18 |
wirelessly configure, and then update the
devices.
| | 02:23 |
This service is provided by third parties
offering support for a variety of server
| | 02:29 |
platforms, management consoles and
pricing structures.
| | 02:34 |
In addition, Apples own OS10 server has a
remotely managed system using the profile manager.
| | 02:42 |
And finally and most importantly, you
want to keep track of your devices.
| | 02:47 |
There are three ways that I have heard
used at schools.
| | 02:50 |
The first is probably the most popular,
asset tag devices using tags or barcodes.
| | 02:56 |
At Pasadena City College we use the
barcode system.
| | 03:00 |
There is the library check-out model.
And then finally, in the classroom, a
| | 03:04 |
sign-in, sign-out model.
For instance, at Pasadena City College,
| | 03:09 |
we use the cart, and for a student to
check out an iPad, they must give us
| | 03:14 |
their student ID or driver's license.
We give them the iPad and then we insert
| | 03:19 |
the student ID or driver's license into
the slot.
| | 03:22 |
In addition, I assign each student a
specific slot with a specific iPad.
| | 03:28 |
This way, if I have to troubleshoot
later, I can see if it is the device, or
| | 03:32 |
the student.
So, now that we've had the overview of
| | 03:36 |
how to set up an iPad classroom.
Now were ready to go to Apple
| | 03:40 |
Configurator App, and set up our cart.
| | 03:43 |
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Downloading apps for the iPad| 00:00 |
So, let's set up the iPad cart with the
Apple Configurator.
| | 00:04 |
Before you start, make sure of the
following items, make sure you have a Mac
| | 00:08 |
that runs at 10.7 or later.
We'll call this Mac the supervisor.
| | 00:15 |
Have a copy of Apple Configurator.
It's free and can be downloaded from the
| | 00:19 |
Mac App Store.
Make sure you are on the latest version.
| | 00:24 |
Check the Mac App Store for any updates.
Be prepared to use an email that you will
| | 00:30 |
use to create an Apple ID that will be
used to download all Apps, free or paid,
| | 00:36 |
with this configurator.
If you choose to use Apple's volume
| | 00:41 |
purchase program, and you're going to
distribute paid apps, make sure you have
| | 00:45 |
the information about the program, and
how to get your codes and redeem them.
| | 00:51 |
We need to check to make sure that you do
not have a SC Info folder.
| | 00:56 |
If you do have this folder, delete it and
then restart your computer.
| | 01:00 |
Now, make sure that all the iPads are
placed in your cart.
| | 01:07 |
Have the cart power plugged into the
wall.
| | 01:10 |
All 30 pin cables unplugged from the
iPads except have one iPad in slot number
| | 01:16 |
one connected.
Then connect the USB cable from the iPad
| | 01:21 |
cart to your supervisor Mac laptop.
Note, once a device has been supervised
| | 01:28 |
using Apple Configurator, it cannot be
managed by another installation of Apple Configurator.
| | 01:34 |
Supervised simply means that these iPad's
will need to connect to this Apple Configurator.
| | 01:41 |
To update to the iOS, to copy new apps
onto the iPads, or to update installed apps.
| | 01:49 |
All communication is done through a USB
connection.
| | 01:52 |
At this time Apple Configurator does not
communicate with the iPads wirelessly.
| | 01:57 |
So, let's set up the iPads.
Let's launch iTunes.
| | 02:04 |
Select the iTunes store.
Search for a free app.
| | 02:11 |
We'd like to load iBooks, Evernote and
Dropbox.
| | 02:16 |
Select the button that says free under
the iBooks app.
| | 02:20 |
You will be prompted to set up an Apple
ID account.
| | 02:25 |
Enter the account email and a password
for this new ID.
| | 02:28 |
Make sure to create an account just for
managing the iPads.
| | 02:34 |
I've already gone through this process,
and already have my Apple ID account, so
| | 02:39 |
I'm going to log in with my current
account.
| | 02:46 |
As you're prompted to go through and set
up your new account, you'll be asked for
| | 02:50 |
Apple ID details.
Make sure you do a screenshot of this
| | 02:54 |
page, so you can save it for your
records.
| | 02:56 |
Then, you're going to hit the continue
button, and at the credit card selection
| | 03:01 |
window, select none as we are downloading
a free app.
| | 03:04 |
You will have to fill in some generic
information, but make sure that you do
| | 03:08 |
choose none for a credit card, and then
again, be sure you take a screenshot of
| | 03:14 |
this page.
Upon completing your account, Apple will
| | 03:17 |
send a verification email, check that
email.
| | 03:22 |
Once you have verified your Apple ID,
select Authorize This Computer from
| | 03:27 |
iTunes store menu.
This is an important step when we are
| | 03:35 |
ready to sync.
Once iTunes responds that the computer is
| | 03:40 |
authorized check in the left hand corner
that the Apple ID is showing as signed in
| | 03:46 |
to the store.
If not, select sign in, and complete the
| | 03:50 |
steps again.
Now select the apps store, and search for
| | 03:54 |
the three free apps.
Indicate you have an Apple ID, and
| | 03:59 |
complete the download for iBooks,
Evernote, and Dropbox.
| | 04:03 |
Once the three apps have been downloaded,
quit iTunes.

| Setting up the master sync with Apple Configurator| 00:00 |
Let's create a master backup to use for
the iPads.
| | 00:03 |
Before you start, make sure you either
have a new or a clean iPad and then all
| | 00:09 |
your iPads are the same model.
To clean the iPad, you will go to
| | 00:14 |
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All
Content and Settings.
| | 00:26 |
To create the master backup, only have
one iPad connected to the cart at a time.
| | 00:31 |
In this step, we are preparing the iPad
for supervision.
| | 00:35 |
Launch Apple Configurator under the Apple
Configurator menu, choose Preferences.
| | 00:42 |
To have the Lock Screen display a device
name, select the Lock Screen button and
| | 00:48 |
indicate the name.
We are selecting Device, now close that screen.
| | 00:53 |
Notice that there is a 1 next to Apple
Configurator's Prepare icon.
| | 01:00 |
The one indicates that the supervisor
computer is recognizing one iPad
| | 01:05 |
connected in the cart.
Let's create the initial choices for
| | 01:10 |
supervising this iPad.
In name, we will type Rioux Academy Master.
| | 01:16 |
We we leave number sequentially starting
at one deselected.
| | 01:21 |
Supervision will be on.
For restore, we'll leave it at, don't
| | 01:26 |
restore backup.
Then select the Prepare button, then
| | 01:30 |
select Apply.
The prepare may take a little time,
| | 01:34 |
because it is going to go through a
download of the latest operating system.
| | 01:38 |
A green bubble will appear next to the
device upon completion.
| | 01:42 |
Once the status indicator is complete and
you see the green check mark, select the
| | 01:47 |
Stop button at the bottom of the Apple
Configurator window.
| | 01:51 |
You will now see that you have created a
Roux Academy Master.
| | 01:54 |
At this point, we're going to go and take
the iPad out of the cart or disconnect it
| | 02:00 |
from the USB and we're going to go into
the iPad and set it up.
| | 02:05 |
We will follow the setup screens.
Choose the following, Skip Setting up Wi-Fi.
| | 02:13 |
Choose to Allow Location Services and
Settings.
| | 02:26 |
Decide whether you want to leave Siri On
or Off.
| | 02:32 |
Decide whether you want to send
diagnostic information to Apple.
| | 02:37 |
Then continue through and start using the
iPad.
| | 02:42 |
At this point, you may want to make
several changes.
| | 02:45 |
Of the on board apps, you may want to
organize and arrange the apps or add apps
| | 02:51 |
to the Dock.
There are some restrictions that can't be
| | 02:55 |
configured with Apple Configurator
profiles.
| | 02:58 |
Here are a few items that schools
sometimes want to do.
| | 03:02 |
In Settings under General and
Restrictions, you can choose to enable restrictions.
| | 03:09 |
Choose a four digit code that students
are not likely to guess, set Delete Apps
| | 03:18 |
to off if you don't want the students to
delete the apps.
| | 03:22 |
Set Accounts to Don't Allow Changes if
you don't want students to create email
| | 03:30 |
accounts with the mail app.
You will have an opportunity to refine
| | 03:35 |
your restrictions and hone in on more
details later.
| | 03:39 |
When you've made all the changes you
want, connect the iPad back to the cart.
| | 03:45 |
Choose the Supervise button.
Make sure that the Rioux Academy Master
| | 03:49 |
is selected.
From the menu, select Devices Backup.
| | 03:58 |
You'll see our Roux Academy Master.
Then, select Create Backup.
| | 04:04 |
This is the basic configuration that will
apply to all the iPads.
| | 04:09 |
Plug in additional iPads for the cart.
For this demo, we are only adding one iPad.
| | 04:15 |
But you will probably have more.
Select Prepare at the bottom of the Apple
| | 04:19 |
Configurator window.
Now select Apply.
| | 04:24 |
You will see all the devices start to
connect and be updated.
| | 04:29 |
This may take some time to get all of
them prepared and processed.
| | 04:33 |
When they are finished, select the
Prepare button at the bottom of the window.
| | 04:38 |
Now to create a profile, let's click on
this plus button at the bottom left hand
| | 04:43 |
corner of the screen, and Create New
Profile.
| | 04:47 |
The name will be Student Profile.
Under organization you may want to put
| | 04:52 |
your school name, or give it a brief
description.
| | 04:57 |
In the left column, select Restrictions,
then select Configure.
| | 05:03 |
You should look through these three
different buttons, functionality,
| | 05:06 |
applications, and media content.
Under functionality, we are going to
| | 05:12 |
allow installing apps, checked for now,
because we're in the process of adding
| | 05:16 |
new apps.
We'll go back and change this later.
| | 05:19 |
Select WiFi.
Select Configure.
| | 05:25 |
Under the service set identifier, add
your wireless network name.
| | 05:30 |
Then put in your password.
Next, in the left hand column, let's
| | 05:36 |
select Web clip.
Then select configure.
| | 05:44 |
We are going to put an icon that looks
like an app that will connect our
| | 05:48 |
students to the URL for the learning
management system homepage.
| | 05:51 |
We are going to give it the name of the
course.
| | 05:57 |
Next we'll put in the URL which will take
us to the LMS homepage landing.
| | 06:06 |
Finally we will upload an personalized
icon, Select Choose.
| | 06:12 |
From the exercise files on the desktop we
will choose a logo.
| | 06:17 |
Once you have completed all the settings
that you want to enable, click Save, then
| | 06:23 |
select Student Profile, and select Share.
Save your student profile to the Desktop
| | 06:32 |
for the moment.
Select Supervise now select all iPads.
| | 06:40 |
Now select the Apps button.
Click to import the apps by clicking on
| | 06:46 |
the plus sign.
In the Mobile Applications folder select
| | 06:51 |
all of the apps that we are going to
upload.
| | 06:54 |
In this case, Dropbox, Evernote, and
iBooks, select all of the boxes.
| | 07:00 |
If there are apps that still need to be
added that have been purchased within the
| | 07:05 |
volume purchase program, you will need a
download of the redemption codes for each
| | 07:10 |
app purchased.
Contact the facilitator or the buyer of
| | 07:15 |
the volume purchase program at your
school.
| | 07:17 |
If your school is not part of the
program, you can enroll at the Apple
| | 07:22 |
website by following the instructions.
Since I am only loading free apps, I'm
| | 07:27 |
going to skip this step.
In the name put the name that you want to
| | 07:32 |
have for each iPad.
Then we will select, number sequentially
| | 07:36 |
starting at one.
Under Restore, select the Roux Academy Master.
| | 07:43 |
Select Student Profile.
Now select Apply.
| | 07:47 |
Then the iPads will all go through the
process of renumbering, renaming, and
| | 07:55 |
installing any changes that you have
made, in this case, adding the three apps.
| | 08:01 |
When the icon changes to the battery
charging symbol, you know that you've
| | 08:05 |
completed the process.
Now open up your iPad and check to make
| | 08:09 |
sure that all the apps have been
downloaded to your cart.
| | 08:13 |
In the future you'll probably want to
sync more apps.
| | 08:16 |
When you do this make sure that the
laptop is not plugged in to the sync cart.
| | 08:22 |
Now that we've completed this process,
you'll need to go back to the iPads,
| | 08:26 |
select Settings then select Restrictions
then select Enable Restrictions.
| | 08:32 |
And reenter the pass code for the iPads
on your cart.

| Exploring further resources in the iTunes Store| 00:00 |
iTunes U is an online catalog of free
education content.
| | 00:05 |
It has over half a million content items,
courses, lectures, lab demonstrations,
| | 00:11 |
language lessons, movies, panel
discussions.
| | 00:15 |
As you can see on the right in Categories
you can see many different kinds of
| | 00:19 |
subject matter, as well as a category for
teaching and learning.
| | 00:23 |
In the submenu, below the drop-down menu,
are ways to look quickly for the kinds of
| | 00:31 |
students you may have.
K through 12, universities and colleges,
| | 00:35 |
and beyond campus, which includes
nonprofits and museums.
| | 00:40 |
One of the new categories in iTunes U is
Beyond Campus.
| | 00:43 |
Let's click on that.
Beyond Campus was set-up for a number of
| | 00:47 |
organizations that are non-profit, for
museums, and for education websites that
| | 00:52 |
are exploring different ways of teaching
and learning.
| | 00:55 |
If we go to K right now, we can click on
the Khan Academy.
| | 00:59 |
This is a wonderful resource.
We can put this on the iPad, not have to
| | 01:04 |
go through the browser, and our students
can access all of these incredible topics.
| | 01:10 |
Although Podcast is not specifically for
education, again if you click on the
| | 01:14 |
drop-down menu for Categories, we'll see
there are all kinds of subject matter.
| | 01:19 |
And there is a special category just for
education.
| | 01:22 |
What's wonderful about these podcasts is
that a number of educators using their
| | 01:29 |
own time and their own passion have
created these podcasts.
| | 01:33 |
And regularly produce content that we can
use in the classroom.
| | 01:39 |
Then, the bookstore, the Books, is a
great area to go to.
| | 01:44 |
If we look at the categories, you see
there are all kinds of things that we can
| | 01:47 |
read and look at, it becomes our own
personal bookstore.
| | 01:51 |
But if we look in the sub categories,
there are free books.
| | 01:54 |
And if we have to return back to the
books page we can also see if there are textbooks.
| | 02:01 |
And finally if we return one more time to
the books homepage we can click on iBooks Author.
| | 02:07 |
Many teachers right now are experimenting
using iBooks Author to create their own books.
| | 02:12 |
I've seen teachers use it to create
storytelling projects within their classrooms.
| | 02:16 |
I've seen teachers use iBooks Author to
create storytelling projects with their students.
| | 02:22 |
I've seen teachers use it to create their
own textbooks.
| | 02:25 |
There's all kinds of things that are
going on with iBooks Author.
| | 02:28 |
It's a quick, fun and really responsive
and interactive way to create books
| | 02:33 |
online for your students.
Movies and tv shows are another place to
| | 02:38 |
get content.
Teachers teaching history classes, social
| | 02:43 |
media classes, American studies.
I am seeing teachers every day using
| | 02:48 |
movies as a way to teach their students
about culture, about events, about history.
| | 02:55 |
And in television shows there are a
number of shows put on by public
| | 02:59 |
broadcasting and public access that are
available.
| | 03:04 |
Music, I"m sure everybody's aware of.
That's how we all started loving Apple,
| | 03:07 |
with our iPods.
But music is a great way to teach.
| | 03:11 |
It's a great way to share global
experiences, and it's a way we can find
| | 03:16 |
music that we want to put in our
slideshows and our presentations.
| | 03:20 |
So now I'm ready to go to the App Store.
I just want to make sure you really
| | 03:24 |
understand the full power of iTunes.
Again, the easiest way to see what's
| | 03:29 |
going on in the iPad apps store, is to go
to the Category section.
| | 03:32 |
When a developer creates an app, they
have to indicate what category it will
| | 03:38 |
fit in.
So every app in the app store has a
| | 03:40 |
category related to it.
Let's select the categories and check out education.
| | 03:46 |
If we look at these apps right in front
of us, we see that each one of these has
| | 03:49 |
been designated an education app.
If we scroll down the page, there are
| | 03:54 |
numerous ways to look at these.
By what's popular, by ideas.
| | 03:58 |
By what age the students are.
And there are also another category, Top
| | 04:04 |
Three Apps.
I highly recommend that you go there.
| | 04:08 |
But beyond the education category I
suggest that you should look at other categories.
| | 04:12 |
For instance I'm a design teacher.
For me, I went instantly to the
| | 04:16 |
subcategory Photo and Video.
Here I was able to find a number of tools
| | 04:21 |
that I thought matched what was being
used out in professional settings.
| | 04:25 |
It's important for me as a college
teacher to make sure that the skills that
| | 04:29 |
I'm teaching my students are ones that
can take them forward in their learning
| | 04:32 |
and in their professional lives.
One of my favorite areas to go to is
| | 04:37 |
Books, and it may not seem obvious but if
you scroll down you'll find the
| | 04:43 |
Audiobooks category.
In Audiobooks you have a chance to
| | 04:48 |
download books that are read to you by
famous people, by famous actors and to
| | 04:52 |
have all kinds of experiences.
I know that my students commute from
| | 04:56 |
home, and this is a great way for them to
be listening to things.
| | 04:59 |
There is Nonfiction, there is Fiction.
There are older works, there are newer works.
| | 05:05 |
And again, there are categories that you
can choose that will fit whatever you are teaching.
| | 05:10 |
This is a very important category,
students love this.
| | 05:14 |
In my experience, in college, students
find listening to audiobooks a way to
| | 05:18 |
take a break.
And to quiet themselves down and to
| | 05:21 |
listen carefully.
So as you can see, there are many more
| | 05:26 |
things in the iTunes applications than
just the app store.
| | 05:30 |
Be sure to check out all of the available
resources for educators, and to enjoy the
| | 05:35 |
fact that there are many things that are
free.
| | 05:37 |
And that you can pick out all kind of
media for all kinds of learning styles.
| | 05:41 |
For me the iTunes is one of the greatest
resources, it's another library for me in
| | 05:46 |
the 21st century
| | 05:47 |

| Setting up the essential apps| 00:01 |
So it's the first day of class in our
iPad classroom and every student has this
| | 00:06 |
iPad in their hands.
What I like to do now is to set up and
| | 00:10 |
explain some of the essential apps that
my students will need every day in this class.
| | 00:14 |
80% of them have never used Evernote or
Dropbox or know what a web link is.
| | 00:21 |
So let's tap on Evernote.
I have them create their own account with
| | 00:27 |
their own password.
We've already created a user account.
| | 00:34 |
By having them create their own account,
I'm teaching them to be responsible for
| | 00:38 |
their own documents, and the things that
they use and create inside this course.
| | 00:43 |
Once they sign in the first thing I have
them do is tap on Notebooks.
| | 00:49 |
As you can see, Evernote creates a
notebook for the user the first time they
| | 00:54 |
log in then I have them tap on their
notebook.
| | 00:57 |
I tell them that this notebook is the
same as their three-ring spiral notebook,
| | 01:02 |
that they will be putting things inside
this notebook throughout the semester.
| | 01:07 |
PDFs, pictures, videos, text that they
write, annotations, all kinds of
| | 01:12 |
information and media can go inside this
notebook.
| | 01:15 |
And it's their job to organize it and use
it that way.
| | 01:19 |
Then I have them tap on Getting Started,
so that they feel comfortable and know
| | 01:22 |
where there's help.
The minute this window opens, they're so excited.
| | 01:27 |
They say we can use a camera, we can
import pictures, we can record our voice,
| | 01:32 |
we can share things, we can zoom in and
out of documents.
| | 01:36 |
Wow.
What a fantastic experience.
| | 01:38 |
And it's just my notebook, and no one
elses.
| | 01:43 |
Then they tap close.
Then we tap Notebooks.
| | 01:48 |
And then we tap on the elephant.
They tap on their account name.
| | 01:55 |
And what I like to explain here is the
number of things that they see in settings.
| | 01:58 |
They see that their account type is free
and they're amazed that you can do
| | 02:02 |
something like this for free.
They also see their usage there and most
| | 02:07 |
important they see the word synchronized.
I explain to them that now that they've
| | 02:12 |
created an account, they can log in to a
browser on a laptop or workstation to
| | 02:16 |
sign in.
They can download an app on an iPhone or
| | 02:20 |
an Android.
And now they can sync those accounts so
| | 02:23 |
that they can see their notebook wherever
they are with whatever device they have
| | 02:27 |
in front of them.
But most importantly, I teach them how to
| | 02:30 |
log out.
Many students might be using this iPad
| | 02:33 |
and I want them to be able to protect
their work and protect their notebook.
| | 02:37 |
So we tap on Logout, tap on Yes.
And the next time they come in to use
| | 02:44 |
this iPad, they're assured that their
notebook is protected and only they know
| | 02:48 |
the password to that account.
Now let's take a look at Dropbox.
| | 02:55 |
The way I like to explain Dropbox is that
it's a big storage unit in the cloud, or
| | 02:59 |
in the Internet.
It's a place where at the end of every
| | 03:02 |
class period, they should send any
documents, files, or pictures that they
| | 03:06 |
want to save for their own personal use.
I also explain that it syncs with many,
| | 03:11 |
many devices, and that once they create
an account, they can access that account
| | 03:16 |
and sign in from any of those devices.
We have already created a user account
| | 03:22 |
that we will use for this demo.
When this dialogue box pops up, we choose
| | 03:34 |
to cancel it.
If we enable this, it means that every
| | 03:38 |
single thing that is in our photo gallery
or photo stream will be uploaded to the Dropbox.
| | 03:44 |
I find this is inefficient, there are
only certain documents and certain images
| | 03:48 |
and certain things that they want to put
up into their own storage box so lets tap Cancel.
| | 03:54 |
Again there is a Getting Started PDF, I
highly recommend they tap on that.
| | 04:01 |
Instantly they see that there's a lot of
ways to browse through this document.
| | 04:04 |
That they can zoom in and zoom out using
their gestures.
| | 04:09 |
I tell them to look at the buttons up in
the upper right hand corner to see how
| | 04:13 |
they can share.
I have them tap on the star.
| | 04:19 |
This is a way to make this document an
important document.
| | 04:23 |
Then I have my students tap on the third
icon.
| | 04:26 |
As you can see, if we had
AirPrint-enabled printers, that would
| | 04:30 |
allow them to print a document.
But I have tap on Open In, and they
| | 04:37 |
realize they can open this PDF in iBooks.
Let's tap on that.
| | 04:45 |
All of a sudden they understand that a
PDF could be a part of their iBook's library.
| | 04:51 |
To get back to Dropbox we have to
double-click on the Home button, go down
| | 04:56 |
to our multi-tasking bar and tap on
Dropbox.
| | 05:02 |
Then we try to figure out together as a
group how to log out.
| | 05:06 |
They see that gear symbol.
They're beginning to understand that the
| | 05:09 |
gear symbol is a way to see settings in
any app that they're in.
| | 05:14 |
To log out, I'll explain that they need
to tap on the Unlink iPad from Dropbox.
| | 05:19 |
That this is the way Dropbox says that
same idea.
| | 05:22 |
Then tap on Unlink.
Single-tap on the Home button to return
| | 05:29 |
to our Home screen.
Next, I have them tap on the web link we
| | 05:33 |
created in Apple Configurator, our design
homepage.
| | 05:39 |
This quickly gets them into the learning
management system that we created for the class.
| | 05:44 |
By now, they've all created a user name
and a password.
| | 05:59 |
Once, they sign in, they realize that
they're on the home page of their
| | 06:02 |
learning management system,
Wikispaces.com.
| | 06:06 |
They also understand, although it's a
different environment, it doesn't look
| | 06:10 |
the same as on the Internet.
It has all of the features that they're
| | 06:13 |
used to seeing.
Again, when they leave class, I have them
| | 06:16 |
log out.
In order to log out, they tap on their
| | 06:19 |
name, and tap on Sign Out.
Lastly, let's tap on the Home button one
| | 06:28 |
more time, return to the Home screen, and
tap on Safari.
| | 06:36 |
I instruct my students to access their
email accounts through the browser Safari.
| | 06:41 |
I have them log in to their Gmail
accounts, or whatever mail account
| | 06:44 |
they're using.
This really takes no instruction.
| | 06:51 |
They do this all the time.
But again, I warn them that the iPad will
| | 06:56 |
be used by a number of users, and that
it's important to sign in and sign out
| | 07:00 |
before you leave class.
One of the last things I say at the end
| | 07:05 |
of each class is, have you signed out of
all the applications that you were using
| | 07:09 |
personally, with accounts.
So let's return to the Home screen.
| | 07:15 |
In just minutes, the students have
learned how to create a notebook.
| | 07:19 |
How to store their documents, their
files, their projects, their images, in Dropbox.
| | 07:24 |
And to sync with all the devices that
they may have access to.
| | 07:29 |
They've learned how to access their
learning management system.
| | 07:31 |
Their course landing page.
And they'd begun to understand the idea
| | 07:36 |
that PDFs and documents can be shared
between apps.
| | 07:39 |
They've put one PDF from Dropbox into
their iBook's shelf.
| | 07:44 |
It's important to teach the students how
to set up accounts, how to log in, how to
| | 07:48 |
log out, and put the responsibility on
them to emphasize the importance in an
| | 07:53 |
academic setting.
Of how sharing this device, and sharing
| | 07:57 |
these spaces, that privacy is still a
concern, and that they want to have
| | 08:00 |
ownership and responsibility for all the
activities they do.

| First day "demo" in the iPad classroom| 00:01 |
In this movie, I'm going to share a
typical first day demo or what I should
| | 00:05 |
really call a first day of playing and
experimenting and discovering with the
| | 00:09 |
iPad in your classroom.
There are certain things that the
| | 00:13 |
students need to know and they should do
it day one and figure it out on their own
| | 00:17 |
and help each other to do it.
So the first thing I have the students do
| | 00:21 |
when they come into the class after they
have checked out their IPad is to sign
| | 00:26 |
into Evernote, DropBox and their
WikiSpaces.
| | 00:29 |
So let's go to WikiSpaces right now.
So this student is already signed in.
| | 00:36 |
And I want them to learn how to download
things from the Wikispace into their
| | 00:41 |
Evernote notebook.
So I ask them to tap on the download for
| | 00:45 |
the syllabus.
The syllabus will open up.
| | 00:51 |
If I tap on the document an option comes
up to open an ever note.
| | 01:02 |
Then I have them click on their notebooks
and I have them add a new notebook for
| | 01:06 |
just this course as opposed to all of the
documents they create.
| | 01:13 |
They title it the name of the course plus
their initials.
| | 01:15 |
And Save.
Back in All Notes, we see the Syllabus.
| | 01:26 |
Let's tap on the Syllabus.
It opens up in full screen mode.
| | 01:37 |
To close the document they tap on the
Close button.
| | 01:43 |
If they tap on the Eye key they can move
the document to another notebook.
| | 01:50 |
Now the student has inserted the syllabus
into a newly created notebook for the class.
| | 01:56 |
I have them go check in their notebooks
to make sure this happened.
| | 02:05 |
Then we double tap on the Home button and
return to Safari and the Wiki-Space.
| | 02:10 |
I have them do this again so that they
can remember we tap on the materials.pdf
| | 02:17 |
and download.
We open it in Evernote.
| | 02:19 |
Then tap on the I key then tap on
notebook and put it into their Design 105.
| | 02:29 |
I have them tap on their notebook and
make sure that this worked.
| | 02:37 |
There all set to go.
So now they know how to create their own
| | 02:40 |
personal notebook, how to download
documents and projects from the wikispace
| | 02:45 |
and how to set it up so they can use it
for themselves and organize it the way
| | 02:48 |
they'd like.
Next we'll tap once to go back to the
| | 02:52 |
home screen and move to the main screen
with all of the on-board apps.
| | 02:58 |
And tap on Photos.
The first day of class, I have them all
| | 03:02 |
take a picture of themselves.
They see that their photo is already in
| | 03:06 |
their photo gallery but I have them
create an album next to keep all their photographs.
| | 03:12 |
If they tap on the Edit button, tap on
the photo then tap on Add To.
| | 03:20 |
Then tap on Add to New Album.
They create an album with their name for
| | 03:25 |
the course.
Design 105 and their initials.
| | 03:31 |
Then tap Save.
Now if they go to their albums, you can
| | 03:35 |
see they have an album names Design 105
with the initials and inside that album
| | 03:40 |
is one image.
I have them tap on the photo, tap on the
| | 03:45 |
Share button, tap Copy.
Now go back to the home screen, tap on Safari.
| | 03:55 |
In the browser open up your email
account.
| | 04:05 |
Once you've logged into your email
account, send you email address to me the teacher.
| | 04:20 |
In the subject line, type First day
photo.
| | 04:23 |
Insert the hyphen, tap and hold and
Paste.
| | 04:35 |
Now tap Send.
Now everyone knows how to send projects
| | 04:40 |
and assignments and writing to me.
Return to the home screen and open up Evernote.
| | 04:48 |
In Evernote, tap on your notebooks,
select your design notebook, so tap on
| | 04:58 |
the plus sign in the upper right.
Tap on the Stack of Photos not the camera.
| | 05:03 |
In camera roll, tap on the photo you took
of yourself then tap below the photo
| | 05:13 |
where you can give this photo a title or
a description of what happened in class today.
| | 05:19 |
Now close the note.
So now they've downloaded content to
| | 05:25 |
their notebook and created original
content for their notebook.
| | 05:29 |
Let's go back to the home screen by
tapping on the Home button and open up Dropbox.
| | 05:36 |
Tap on the Plus sign then tap on Create
folder.
| | 05:41 |
Name the folder for the course with your
initials then tap on Create.
| | 05:49 |
Tap on the Photo.
Tap on Upload.
| | 06:00 |
Congratulations!
You now have sent your photo as an email,
| | 06:04 |
you have inserted it into Evernote as a
note and you've sent it to up to Dropbox
| | 06:10 |
up in the cloud.
So you know how to get things from the
| | 06:14 |
cloud and to know how to send things from
the iPad back to the cloud.
| | 06:19 |
And how to communicate one on one.
And how to create your own personal notebook.
| | 06:24 |
At this point I would tell the students
to explore the different apps that have
| | 06:28 |
been loaded onto the iPad that we've
provided for them.
| | 06:32 |
And after they have had a chance to play,
discover, observe maybe fifteen minutes.
| | 06:38 |
The last thing I have the students do is
open up the app, Soundrop.
| | 06:41 |
This is a multi-sensory app that allows
you to draw straight lines, create music
| | 06:48 |
and have animation all at the same time.
So in less than five minutes, I have 22
| | 06:54 |
engaged students drawing lines, creating
music, playing around with your animation
| | 07:02 |
and creating a cacophony of gamalon music
right there in design 105.
| | 07:09 |
It's a great first day, they feel
empowered, engaged and their delighted by
| | 07:13 |
what they can do in a very fast way in a
very qualitative way.

3. Getting Things In and Out of the iPadProjecting from an iPad| 00:00 |
So part of the fun of having an iPad in
the classroom, is sharing what you're
| | 00:04 |
doing with others.
So let's take a look at some of the
| | 00:07 |
solutions for projecting from the iPad.
The definitive link, for the moment, on
| | 00:12 |
using the iPad with a projector, was
posted by Terry Gray from Palomar college.
| | 00:17 |
It really covers the options available
currently.
| | 00:21 |
I would suggest that you all go out and
take a look at it.
| | 00:24 |
He really takes you step by step through
all of the different options.
| | 00:28 |
And he's tested all of the different
options as well.
| | 00:32 |
So it's a great place and a resource for
you, as you decide which is the right one
| | 00:36 |
for your environment.
The first solution I'd like the share is
| | 00:40 |
Apple TV.
To use Apple TV, connect to the data
| | 00:44 |
projector using a display video output
cable.
| | 00:47 |
It's called HDMI, then connect the iPad
wirelessly to the Apple TV device via
| | 00:48 |
AirPlay and turn on Mirroring.
When your iPad and Apple TV are connected
| | 01:01 |
to the same WiFi network, an AirPlay icon
appears.
| | 01:06 |
Tap the icon to mirror anything being
shown on the device.
| | 01:10 |
Make sure you enable AirPlay on the Apple
TV before you start.
| | 01:15 |
For setting up HDMI projection, you will
need the Apple TV.
| | 01:19 |
An HDMI cable, an HDMI TV or projector,
and a WiFi network.
| | 01:26 |
The iPad and Apple TV device must be
connected to the same wireless network.
| | 01:32 |
The wireless network must be multi-cast
enabled.
| | 01:35 |
The Apple TV must be connected to the
projector's HDMI port by an HDMI cable.
| | 01:41 |
Some of the benefits of this system is
that the presenter is free to roam around
| | 01:45 |
the room.
Any student with an iPad can also mirror
| | 01:48 |
their device if the password is known to
them.
| | 01:50 |
No classroom computer is needed, the
image quality is excellent.
| | 01:56 |
When playing video, this solution expands
to fill the screen.
| | 01:59 |
Motion is smooth and color is true, but
video will display only on the screen.
| | 02:05 |
Not on the iPad.
For those with a projector that does not
| | 02:09 |
support HDMI, a simple solution is to
purchase the Apple VGA adapter.
| | 02:15 |
In this solution, the iPad user is
tethered to the projector and cannot walk around.
| | 02:21 |
Also, others cannot share their iPads if
they have devices in the room.
| | 02:25 |
It is a one iPad.
One connection solution.
| | 02:30 |
You will also need a separate audio
cable.
| | 02:33 |
It would plug in to the iPad's audio out
earphone jack.
| | 02:39 |
There are two app solutions.
You could download Reflector and
| | 02:43 |
AirServer to your workstation.
Reflector and AirServer.
| | 02:47 |
Are software AirPlay emulators.
They allow PC or MAC workstations to act
| | 02:53 |
as the AirPlay host for the iPad.
These programs are installed on your
| | 02:58 |
laptop or computer.
You then mirror your iPad, or an iPhone,
| | 03:02 |
to your PC or MAC.
Provided the PC or Mac is wired to the
| | 03:07 |
classroom projector via VGA and audio
cables.
| | 03:11 |
Near your iPad screen to the room
projector via AirPlay mirroring.
| | 03:17 |
To mirror the iPad screen, access the
Multitasking bar, swipe to the right.
| | 03:23 |
Tap on the AirPlay button.
It's rectangular with an arrow.
| | 03:28 |
Select the host device.
Turn on Mirroring.
| | 03:31 |
You may need to set up a password for
this to work.
| | 03:38 |
I myself use Reflector and have had
terrific results.
| | 03:42 |
There are some great benefits to this
solution.
| | 03:44 |
It's cost effective and one teacher can
set this up.
| | 03:48 |
The teacher can be mobile.
Students with iPads can also share via AirPlay.
| | 03:54 |
More than one iPad can be displayed
simultaneously.
| | 03:58 |
Let's go out and look at the websites for
these two applications.
| | 04:03 |
This is the website for the Reflector
app.
| | 04:06 |
You can download it right here.
And now we're looking at the AirServer website.
| | 04:12 |
Again you can download the application
right from the website.
| | 04:17 |
Here is a simple guide on how to set up
your iPad to mirror.
| | 04:20 |
It shows you the equipment you'll need
and gives you close up views of what it
| | 04:25 |
would look like on a projector.
So as you can see, there are number of
| | 04:30 |
solutions that you can use, they're not
too difficult to set up, you really need
| | 04:34 |
to decide what your budget is, how you're
going to be presenting what you're using
| | 04:38 |
on the iPad.
And what is your classroom situation.
| | 04:41 |
This is something you need to explore
further with your IT team at your school,
| | 04:46 |
and to talk about with the teachers.
And think about what your classroom setup
| | 04:50 |
is like.

| Printing with AirPrint| 00:01 |
So how do you print in iOS?
You can print from the Apple
| | 00:04 |
applications, iBooks, Mail, Photos and
Safari.
| | 00:08 |
Apps available from the App Store may
also offer this feature.
| | 00:13 |
Some apps have this feature, some don't.
You'll need to access this as you
| | 00:18 |
evaluate your apps.
To print from these kinds of apps, follow
| | 00:22 |
these steps.
Tap the Action icon.
| | 00:27 |
Tap the Print button.
Configure the printer options.
| | 00:36 |
Then tap Print.
In my iPad classroom, we do not have an
| | 00:42 |
AirPrint enabled printer but the Systems
Administrator set up AirPrint in this way.
| | 00:47 |
The student iPads are connected to the
same WiFi network as the main
| | 00:52 |
configuration laptop on the iPad cart.
When the student choses AirPrint.
| | 00:57 |
The command is sent to the main
configuration laptop, and the printing
| | 01:01 |
request shows up in the queue on the
laptop.
| | 01:04 |
Then it prints to the high volume printer
we have set up in the design studio.
| | 01:08 |
It's an old printer, but it's a
workhorse.
| | 01:13 |
There are a couple of software
applications that will let you do this
| | 01:16 |
from your work station.
First I'd like to show you Printopia.
| | 01:20 |
It's mobile printing to any printer.
It works with the iPhone or the iPad.
| | 01:25 |
It runs on your Mac to share its printers
to your devices.
| | 01:28 |
You can print to your Mac workstation,
any of your regular printers, or to your
| | 01:33 |
Macs Dropbox folder using WiFi.
Here's the Printopia website.
| | 01:39 |
As you can see, you can find out the
features and the technical requirements
| | 01:43 |
for installing this application.
Another solution is the Application handyPrint.
| | 01:49 |
It's a Mac OS X application, that allows
you to print from your iPods, iPads, and
| | 01:53 |
iPhones on Legacy Printers that do not
support the AirPrint protocol.
| | 01:58 |
Here is the handyPrint web site.
I really encourage you to check out both solutions.
| | 02:03 |
It's really something that you have to
see if the technical specs and the
| | 02:07 |
features fit your needs at your school
and in your classroom.
| | 02:12 |
So we've had a chance to look at a few
AirPrint solutions.
| | 02:15 |
There will be more and more
AirPrint-enabled printers coming along in
| | 02:19 |
the future, and I'm sure developers will
be trying out new things with different applications.
| | 02:23 |
And using AirPrint in ways we've never
thought of.

| Sharing content through Dropbox| 00:00 |
Dropbox is a powerful application for you
and your students to share documents and
| | 00:05 |
projects with each other.
As you can see, we've already logged in
| | 00:08 |
to Dropbox as the teacher for our Design
Course 105.
| | 00:12 |
So let's upload the course docs by
selecting the Upload button.
| | 00:20 |
Select Choose Files, then through your
directory, find the files you want to upload.
| | 00:28 |
We're going to upload our course
documents.
| | 00:34 |
As soon as they're uploaded, they'll turn
green, select the Done button.
| | 00:39 |
Now we have them just loose in our
Dropbox account.
| | 00:43 |
Let's create a folder.
Let's select the New Folder button.
| | 00:49 |
We'll give it a name.
The same name as our wiki space, Design
| | 00:53 |
105 Spring 13.
Now we can just simply drag the two
| | 00:57 |
documents into the folder.
To share the folder, select the bar not
| | 01:05 |
the name.
Then select Share Link.
| | 01:11 |
In the browser URL, copy the URL.
Let's go to our wiki space.
| | 01:18 |
And copy and paste that URL into our home
page.
| | 01:23 |
Select the Edit button.
Let's put our I-beam below the two course docks.
| | 01:30 |
And let's type Dropbox Folder with the
class name.
| | 01:38 |
Hit the Return key.
And paste.
| | 01:44 |
Now you will need to select the entire
URL, go up to the Link button, select Web
| | 01:51 |
Address, choose New Window, and copy and
paste the address into the Address text box.
| | 01:58 |
Now select Add Link.
Save, and let's test the link before we leave.
| | 02:09 |
So now you've set up a class box.
Let's create a folder that the students
| | 02:14 |
can upload their projects to.
We go back to our main Dropbox window.
| | 02:21 |
Create a folder.
And we will call this one Design 105 SP
| | 02:27 |
13 Projects.
Let's select our newly created folder for
| | 02:32 |
projects, and now let's select Invite to
Folder.
| | 02:37 |
Here, we can add the names or e-mails of
our students.
| | 02:43 |
I usually write a short message, then
select Share Folder.
| | 02:55 |
Now you have a way to give your projects,
your documents and photos to your
| | 02:59 |
students, as well as a way for them to
send projects to you.
| | 03:03 |
Dropbox will be a powerful tool for you
so you can connect and communicate and
| | 03:08 |
send course assignments back and forth
either face to face or virtually.
| | 03:13 |

| Uploading a photo to Wikispaces| 00:00 |
As well as learning how to share in
Dropbox, the students need to know how to
| | 00:04 |
get things into the LMS.
So we're going to show you in our
| | 00:08 |
Wikispaces, how to post something onto a
page.
| | 00:12 |
I'm going to go in as the teacher and
create a new page called Class Photos.
| | 00:21 |
I'll add a couple tags at the bottom.
Photos, and design 105 sp 13.
| | 00:28 |
Then select Create.
At the top of the page I always name it.
| | 00:35 |
I'll call this Class Photos.
I'll select the text and choose Heading 2.
| | 00:43 |
Then I'll choose save.
I'm going to leave this blank and let the
| | 00:47 |
students post their photos up.
Now, let's go look at the iPad and figure
| | 00:52 |
out how to get a photo into the learning
management system.
| | 00:56 |
Once the student is logged into the
Learning Management System, have the
| | 01:01 |
student tap on Pages and Files.
In this list, have the student look for
| | 01:07 |
Class Photos.
Tap on the words Class Photos.
| | 01:11 |
Select Edit.
Now tap on the main content area to
| | 01:18 |
insert the Ibeam/g.
You may have to hit Return.
| | 01:21 |
Select File.
Tap on Upload Files select Camera Roll
| | 01:32 |
now select the Class Photo.
Tap on Done.
| | 01:37 |
Wait for it to upload.
Slide down the keyboard.
| | 01:42 |
Once you see the icon, tap on the image
dot JPEG.
| | 01:46 |
Once you see this little pop-up window.
Next to size you see there are a minus
| | 01:52 |
and a plus key.
Have the student tap on minus until it's
| | 01:55 |
much, much smaller.
Then tap on add caption and have the
| | 02:01 |
student add their name.
Scroll up to your Edit bar, Tap Save.
| | 02:12 |
Now your first student in your class has
added their photo to the class photos.
| | 02:17 |
I do want to warn you here that only one
person can work on a wiki page at a time.
| | 02:22 |
So what I do is have the students take
turn, go to someone else in the class
| | 02:27 |
introduce themselves and say now it's
your turn.
| | 02:28 |
It's a great way for everyone to get to
know each other and to have them
| | 02:32 |
instantly set up a class portrait.
So, what we've learned is that there is a
| | 02:38 |
lot of ways that we can get content on
and off the iPad.
| | 02:42 |
And one of the most important ways is
that we can create research documents,
| | 02:46 |
photo's, images, that we can share
together as a class, as just a group.
| | 02:51 |
So, we want to have those one on one
shares as well as the one to many shares.
| | 02:55 |
For me the best aspect of the Learning
Management System with the iPad, is it
| | 03:00 |
creates a group place for every member of
the class to share their ideas, and what
| | 03:04 |
their working on.
| | 03:05 |
| | Collapse this transcript |
| iPad photo gallery and screen capture| 00:00 |
In addition to the Photo Gallery being a
place to contain your photos, it has many
| | 00:04 |
powerful editing features.
Lets tap on Photos, lets tap on the
| | 00:10 |
landscape thumbnail, lets tap on Edit.
As you can see at the bottom of your
| | 00:18 |
screen, you have many choices.
You could Rotate the image, Enhance the
| | 00:23 |
image, use Red-Eye or do Crop.
I realize this is not as powerful as
| | 00:28 |
Photoshop, but in many instances with
this camera it's all you need.
| | 00:32 |
The first thing I like to teach my
students is crop, and so let's select the
| | 00:36 |
Crop button by tapping on it.
What you see here is the rule of thirds.
| | 00:42 |
If you tap on Constrain gives you many,
many options for designing a photo.
| | 00:48 |
If we select Square, and then we drag the
corners, we can move around.
| | 00:56 |
Now the idea with the rule of thirds, and
it's something that photographers and
| | 00:59 |
designers have known about for a long
time.
| | 01:02 |
Is that where all the intersecting grid
lines are.
| | 01:05 |
That's where you can create focal point.
So let's go back to Constrain, and let's
| | 01:10 |
go back to Original.
And what we'd really like to do is focus
| | 01:14 |
on the tall red brick building in the
right.
| | 01:18 |
So we're going to Drag down the corners
and try to bring that focus in.
| | 01:26 |
Now, as you can see, we still have the
context that this is taken in New York
| | 01:29 |
City near the park, but we're really
focused on the predominant red building.
| | 01:35 |
Once we're satisfied, we'll select Crop
in the top right.
| | 01:40 |
If, at any time you feel like you haven't
done the right thing In the top left, you
| | 01:44 |
see there is an Undo button, and a Revert
to Original.
| | 01:47 |
So as I look at this, I feel now that the
composition has more focus and says more
| | 01:52 |
what I want it to say.
So let's tap Save.
| | 01:57 |
Let's go back to the home screen.
Let's swipe to the right to see the apps
| | 02:02 |
we've loaded just for this class.
Often, the students want to explore and
| | 02:07 |
find out more about these.
So I suggest that they take a screen capture.
| | 02:12 |
To take a screen capture, simultaneously
press the Home button and the Sleep Wake
| | 02:16 |
button on the outside.
You'll see a flash.
| | 02:22 |
To ensure that you've done this, let's
swipe back to the Home page, tap on
| | 02:28 |
Photos, let's tap on our screen capture.
So I know this isn't a very exciting
| | 02:35 |
photo, but another thing we could do is
again try croping, and we can send this
| | 02:39 |
to ourselves in email, or share this with
others.
| | 02:43 |
So the students have learned two
important features that come with the iPad.
| | 02:47 |
They've learned how to crop using the
Photo Gallery, and to use the rule of
| | 02:51 |
thirds to create focus.
And they understand that anytime they
| | 02:55 |
want to, they can capture information,
through Screen Capture.

| What you should know about files on the iPad| 00:00 |
In this movie, I want to share things
that you really need to know about files
| | 00:04 |
on the iPad.
Always, always test the share button for
| | 00:10 |
each app that you want to use, check the
file formats that it supports.
| | 00:16 |
Some of the best apps for getting things
in and out of an iPad are Evernote,
| | 00:21 |
Dropbox, and Photo Gallery.
So, when I'm trying out an app, I always
| | 00:27 |
tap that share button, and see, do
Evernote and Dropbox or Photo Gallery
| | 00:31 |
appear in that pop up window.
If you use a lot of PDFs, some of the
| | 00:37 |
best apps for those are iBooks.
Good reader with its annotation features
| | 00:42 |
and Evernote.
Many people like to use personal drawing
| | 00:47 |
and journal notebooks.
For instance, Penultimate just partnered
| | 00:51 |
with Evernote, and now it's added
powerful, powerful features for sharing
| | 00:55 |
and annotation.
One app that I use, Inkpad is a great
| | 01:00 |
vector drawing tool.
It has some of the capabilities of Adobe Illustrator.
| | 01:05 |
With this app you need to export it as
some of the common file formats, SVG,
| | 01:11 |
PNG, or JPEG.
It has it's own native file format.
| | 01:17 |
But if you send that to other people they
won't be able to open that file format.
| | 01:22 |
Many apps do not have a save button as we
know it.
| | 01:25 |
You won't even see it in the navigation
bars.
| | 01:28 |
These type apps just keep track of your
file.
| | 01:32 |
That's a very common feature in apps on
the iPad.
| | 01:35 |
They just save as you work along in the
background.
| | 01:39 |
So to manage your work and creations, and
to make sure that you don't lose the work
| | 01:43 |
that you're doing, back up your files to
one of these three applications.
| | 01:48 |
Email, Evernote, or Dropbox, or a similar
service like Box or SkyDrive.
| | 01:55 |
Email, for personal reasons.
Evernote because you want to aggregate a
| | 01:59 |
collection of documents or a Dropbox
because you're sharing large, large files
| | 02:04 |
in your storage system in the Cloud.
With an understanding of these features
| | 02:09 |
and how an iPad works, your students will
feel empowered, eager and ready to try
| | 02:15 |
all kinds of things.
Things that you haven't even thought of.

4. Top Tips and TricksSelecting apps for your course and activities| 00:00 |
Selecting and evaluating apps is
primarily about teaching style and course objectives.
| | 00:06 |
And as there are infinite varieties of
students and learning styles, so there
| | 00:10 |
are teachers and teaching styles.
That said, be warned that is is far too
| | 00:15 |
easy to be seduced by the app store in
iTunes.
| | 00:19 |
Yes, I know, there is an app for that.
But after browsing minutes, hours even,
| | 00:24 |
most likely you will not be any closer to
designing or planning a lesson or project.
| | 00:29 |
My best advice, be selective and always,
always start with the learning objectives
| | 00:35 |
and artifacts that will produced by
students.
| | 00:38 |
In selecting apps there are a number of
websites out there that will give you a
| | 00:42 |
lot of head start here.
APPitic is an app list for education.
| | 00:47 |
It's put together by Apple distinguished
educatiors.
| | 00:52 |
It has all kinds of information here for
all different ages.
| | 00:56 |
It's a great site that aggregates a lot
of ideas, and it was put together by the
| | 01:02 |
Apple distinguished educators.
But it's open to the community.
| | 01:06 |
As you can see at the bottom of the
website, you can submit an app and give a
| | 01:10 |
review yourself.
Langwitches Blog has a great section on
| | 01:16 |
iPad apps and Bloom's Taxonomy.
A lot of you will be teaching the core
| | 01:21 |
curriculum or you have pedagogy at your
school that adopts the Bloom's Taxonomy
| | 01:26 |
and the rubrics that are attached to
that.
| | 01:29 |
This site provides the six different
verbs, and then gives you an idea of how
| | 01:34 |
to use different apps with that.
As you go through the website you'll see
| | 01:38 |
there's a verb, and then they give
synonyms for that verb.
| | 01:41 |
And then they give suggested applications
that you can get in the iTunes store.
| | 01:49 |
One of my favorite sites for learning
about the iPad in the classroom is Kathy
| | 01:53 |
Schrock's Guide to Everything and it
really is a guide to everything.
| | 01:58 |
She's put together a very comprehensible
webpage, that has links to all kinds of
| | 02:02 |
things that relate to the iPad.
I recommend scrolling down to about the
| | 02:07 |
midway point.
And as you can see, she's aggregated a
| | 02:10 |
tutorials, lists of apps, and related
materials.
| | 02:13 |
And as I said, if you're in a school
where the Bloom's Taxonomy, or different
| | 02:17 |
kinds of pedagogy are important.
You can also get links to those that
| | 02:21 |
support what you're doing.
In addition, she has made a list of all
| | 02:24 |
the guides that are out there for
learning how to use the iPad and use iPad apps.
| | 02:30 |
Finally, one of my favorite sites is
edtechteacher.
| | 02:34 |
When I want to start developing a
project, I often start here.
| | 02:37 |
It gives me the kind of inspiration I
need and lets me think about how I can
| | 02:41 |
relate the objectives of my assignment
to, what the iPad can do.
| | 02:45 |
It's a great way to think about what we
want our students to learn and how we
| | 02:49 |
want our students to go out into the 21st
century.
| | 02:53 |
As I start with each of these verbs, he's
created a rubric for each one of the
| | 02:57 |
verbs that actually gives you an
application.
| | 03:00 |
Describes the cost, and gives you a
short, short description, rates is
| | 03:03 |
usefulness and it's ease of use.
This is a quick way to evaluate a number
| | 03:08 |
of apps quickly, and to see if it fits in
with the program and the lessons you're designing.
| | 03:14 |
And finally, when I sit down to do my own
personal lesson planning, or to come up
| | 03:18 |
with an idea for a project based
assignment.
| | 03:21 |
The first thing that I do is map the
learning objectives to the apps and tools.
| | 03:26 |
I always write down what I want the
students to do, and then as I go through
| | 03:31 |
the project, I see which of these verbs
match what I want to do.
| | 03:36 |
There is an important thing also to
consider as well as your subject matter
| | 03:40 |
expertise in developing curriculum.
There are skills that will make every
| | 03:44 |
teacher and student, more of a master.
So I recommend this site for looking at
| | 03:49 |
the essential skills.
I feel this is a very comprehensive list
| | 03:52 |
of the kinds of activities that most
teachers are expecting their students to accomplish.
| | 03:56 |
And the kinds of things that we would
want from a 21st century learner.
| | 04:01 |
After you've designed an assignment and
selected applications, take the time to
| | 04:06 |
evaluate was the project successful?
Did the apps do what you thought they
| | 04:09 |
would do to achieve those learning
objectives?
| | 04:12 |
I think this is a good spot to start for
evaluating your project success and if
| | 04:17 |
you've chosen the right iPads for your
class.
| | 04:21 |
Returning to Kathy Schrock, she has
created an interactive PDF that you can
| | 04:26 |
download from the internet.
That actually allows you to go quickly
| | 04:29 |
through, in less than five minutes, and
evaluate point by point if the app is
| | 04:34 |
working for the project that you're
doing.
| | 04:38 |
Using this PDF, you can create a report
of how the projects are going in your
| | 04:41 |
class, and how the apps are working.
And you can share this across your team
| | 04:44 |
of teachers And across your school.
This last site is an aggregator, it
| | 04:50 |
really looks at all of the kinds of the
things a teacher might be wanting to
| | 04:53 |
focus on in the classroom.
Whether it's Blogs or Facebook or Wiki's,
| | 04:58 |
whether it's personal learning networks
and education, digital citizenship,
| | 05:02 |
social learning, creativity.
It's a very comprehensive list that
| | 05:06 |
aggregates different sites on different
topics and different subject matters.
| | 05:11 |
And I would be amiss not to be talking
about copyright and fair use.
| | 05:15 |
When we're creating with media, and
that's what the iPad allows us to do, all
| | 05:19 |
kinds of media; it's like putting on a
broadway show.
| | 05:22 |
We really need to teach each other and
our students how to use Copyright and how
| | 05:26 |
to do Fair Use.
This site goes through a list of
| | 05:29 |
resources that are available to you, and
that you can go to time and time again.
| | 05:34 |
Now, it's a little bit overwhelming I
know to see all of these different things.
| | 05:38 |
And you probably feel as a teacher, you
don't have the time each day to do this.
| | 05:42 |
But there's a really great PDF available
to you through Technology and Learning.
| | 05:47 |
It's a one-sheet PDF on copyright and
Fair Use guidelines for teachers, and
| | 05:53 |
they update it frequently.
I highly recommend going to the site,
| | 05:57 |
downloading the PDF, sharing it with your
faculty members, sharing it with your school.
| | 06:02 |
And most importantly, sharing it with
your students at an age where they're
| | 06:05 |
starting to do pieces and projects.
Where they need to annotate and attribute
| | 06:09 |
the work that they're creating.
This is a simple go to, one page chart
| | 06:14 |
that you can use in the classroom with
your students and with your school.
| | 06:20 |
Selecting and evaluating apps for your
classroom most importantly should be
| | 06:24 |
based on the project and the course's
learning objectives.
| | 06:27 |
And the measurable outcomes that the
students will see.
| | 06:30 |
By measurable outcomes, I mean artifacts
that students create through research,
| | 06:34 |
content creation with media.
And dissemination on the web and through presentations.
| | 06:40 |
And finally, consider your subject matter
expertise, along with your teaching style.
| | 06:45 |
You're a teacher at the front lines, use
your experience and insights as you plan,
| | 06:50 |
and learn from your trials, tribulations,
and successes.

| What students should know| 00:00 |
Using the iPad is as easy as swiping and
tapping.
| | 00:05 |
Generally, no instructions are needed for
using the iPad.
| | 00:08 |
It's just a matter of swiping and tapping
but there are a number of tips and tricks
| | 00:14 |
and little hidden features that make
using the iPad more efficient for you and
| | 00:18 |
more productive.
If I tap the Safari browser app, it
| | 00:22 |
brings up this page Wikipedia.
It's a very long page.
| | 00:27 |
As I scroll, I see it goes on and on.
If I want to quickly get to the top of
| | 00:32 |
that browser page, I tap the black bar at
the top.
| | 00:37 |
To get back to my Home screen, I simply
click once.
| | 00:41 |
If I double-click on the Home button, it
reveals my multitasking bar that shows
| | 00:49 |
the most recently opened apps that I've
used.
| | 00:53 |
By swiping all the way to the right I can
get to my secret music controls, and
| | 00:58 |
control the music from here.
On the outside edge of the iPad, is a
| | 01:05 |
button for doing volume up and down, but
there's another little button that will
| | 01:09 |
mute sound and turn it back on.
Since there already are controls for
| | 01:15 |
doing the music on the outside, it
sometimes helps to go into your settings.
| | 01:21 |
I'm moving to the left, tap on your
Settings.
| | 01:25 |
And in Settings, you'll see that the
default is to ship with mute on.
| | 01:30 |
But I want to use the side switch for
locking my rotation for when I'm doing
| | 01:35 |
presentations or showing things in class.
So I will tap on lock rotation.
| | 01:42 |
Now if I double-click on my Home button,
and swipe all the way to the right,
| | 01:49 |
you'll see that the button at the bottom
for sound can be toggled off and on here,
| | 01:54 |
and that the button on the outside now
controls rotation.
| | 02:00 |
To get back to the home screen, tap once
on the Home button.
| | 02:06 |
And to use Spotlight Search, because
often an iPad can get quite full of apps,
| | 02:11 |
you can type in any word or app name, and
it will bring it up in its search engine.
| | 02:16 |
In this case, I typed in Safari.
But I could type in easily another word
| | 02:24 |
like gestalt and search the web for that.
So it's a multipurpose search engine
| | 02:31 |
right there on your iPad.
Safari opens and shows me the list of its
| | 02:37 |
search for gestalt.
If I tap once on the Home button, I go
| | 02:44 |
back to my Home screen.
If I hold down the Home button and the
| | 02:49 |
On/Off button simultaneously, I can take
a screenshot of whatsoever on my iPad.
| | 02:55 |
You'll see a slight flash.
If I tap Photos You'll see now inside my
| | 03:02 |
photo gallery I have the image that was
on my iPad before then.
| | 03:07 |
All of these are general purpose tips and
tricks that everyone of your students
| | 03:11 |
should know for working quickly and fast
inside of the iPad.

| Organizing your apps| 00:01 |
If you were going to do a big project at
home, the first thing you would do is go
| | 00:04 |
in to your office or workspace and
organize your desk.
| | 00:07 |
As you collect apps and you start adding
more projects and doing more things with
| | 00:12 |
the iPad, it's important to start
creating folders.
| | 00:16 |
And to learn how to move and delete them,
and put them where you want them.
| | 00:20 |
If you hold on an icon for a few seconds,
It will start to shake.
| | 00:27 |
You can drag it to any location you want.
And if you want to delete that app, you
| | 00:34 |
would simply tap the X.
Now, deleting the app will not delete it
| | 00:39 |
from your iTunes account.
It just means it's simply no longer on
| | 00:43 |
your iPad.
To create folders, you select one of the
| | 00:47 |
app and you drag it on top of another app
that's like it.
| | 00:52 |
For instance, Good Reader on top of
Playbooks, and up will pop this chance to
| | 00:58 |
rename it.
Now, Apple will put in a name for you.
| | 01:01 |
And it's by the way they categorize apps
when people submit apps into the Apps Store.
| | 01:07 |
To rename this simply tap on the word
productivity, delete the letters in
| | 01:12 |
productivity and then type readers.
You could either click on your home
| | 01:20 |
button or tap on the background.
As you can see there's still shaking
| | 01:25 |
which means they're still hot and
moveable and we can drag a few more of
| | 01:29 |
the readers into our reader folder by
simply dragging them over the folder now.
| | 01:35 |
To stop the shaking, click on the home
button and now you've created your first
| | 01:41 |
folder with all the readers that you use
every day.
| | 01:46 |
To get any of these out of the folder,
you would simply do this process in
| | 01:49 |
reverse, hold until it shakes, and then
drag it out to the background.
| | 01:53 |
To stop the shaking, click the home
button.
| | 01:59 |
All iPads ship with four apps in the bar
at the bottom, but there's space for two more.
| | 02:04 |
I use Evernote everyday in my class.
So if I want to put it down in the bar I
| | 02:09 |
use the same technique, hold until it
starts to shake then drag it down to the bar.
| | 02:14 |
And when I see the other apps move over I
know it's in the right location and click
| | 02:20 |
once on my home button.
I'm all set to go and I'm ready to start
| | 02:25 |
my new projects.
It's easy to get so many apps on your
| | 02:29 |
iPad and not be aware of how much the
storage is affecting your ability to do
| | 02:34 |
things, or you've downloaded lots of
music or lots of videos, the two big hogs
| | 02:39 |
of usage.
So go to your settings icon, tap it, in
| | 02:45 |
general tap on the word usage.
The iPad will create a list of all the
| | 02:51 |
apps that you've downloaded.
They will be ordered from the largest to
| | 02:55 |
the smallest.
And also, you'll be able to see how much
| | 02:58 |
available storage space is left.
To get back to your home screen, just
| | 03:03 |
simply tap once on the home button.
So now you're all organized.
| | 03:08 |
Everything in folders.
Everything where you need it in the dock
| | 03:11 |
and you're ready to start your project.

| Preserving battery life| 00:01 |
If you are using an iPad cart to store
your iPads, battery life will not be such
| | 00:06 |
an issue for you.
But there are times when understanding
| | 00:09 |
how to save on battery is most helpful.
There's a number of ways that you can do this.
| | 00:14 |
In the Settings app, tap on WiFi, or on
Bluetooth.
| | 00:20 |
To toggle that connection for Bluetooth
and WiFi off and on.
| | 00:26 |
If you do this it will turn off all your
connections to the internet or to the
| | 00:30 |
network you're connected to.
Another simpler easier way to do this is
| | 00:35 |
to tap on airplane mode and turn it off
or on.
| | 00:39 |
Again, this will sever all of your
network connections.
| | 00:43 |
The only times that I use this, is if we
are out on a field trip, or if we're on
| | 00:48 |
campus shooting video.
Then, I find that this is really helpful
| | 00:52 |
to turn off that connection to the
network.
| | 00:56 |
Another way to save on your battery is to
go to Mail.
| | 01:01 |
And turn off push mail.
That is a toggle that you can just tap on
| | 01:06 |
and off.
I usually keep mine on manual.
| | 01:09 |
And that really will help with your
battery being saved.
| | 01:13 |
That, when you go into your mail, it'll
download anything that you have recently
| | 01:17 |
received, rather than doing it every 15
or 30 minutes.
| | 01:22 |
A word about heat.
Never leave your iPad in direct sun or in
| | 01:26 |
a car.
This is particularly important if you're
| | 01:28 |
out on a field trip.
A third service that is always checking
| | 01:32 |
and going out to the network or looking
for where you are is the location services.
| | 01:38 |
To find that, tap on Privacy, then tap on
Location Services, and again there's a
| | 01:46 |
toggle that you can tap on and off.
There are a number of battery-draining
| | 01:53 |
apps like Skype and Newsstand, so beware
of those kinds of issues as well.
| | 01:57 |
And then finally, if you're using a lot
of apps, you can check to see how many
| | 02:03 |
apps are open by double clicking on the
Home button, which brings up your
| | 02:08 |
multi-tasking bar.
And any app that appears in this bar, we
| | 02:12 |
only have four right now, is actively
running in the background.
| | 02:16 |
If you want to stop this app or turn it
off, just press and hold, then tap on the
| | 02:23 |
Minus button, and now that app is closed.
And that's about the only way you can
| | 02:29 |
turn things off and on inside of an iPad.
If you swipe all the way to the right,
| | 02:37 |
the last little tip is, you can turn the
brightness control all the way down and
| | 02:41 |
this will save a lot on your battery
usage.
| | 02:44 |
In my experience, the best way to save on
the battery, is to access the
| | 02:49 |
multitasking bar and close your apps from
there.
| | 02:53 |
Students often don't realize what apps
are open and what apps are processing in
| | 02:57 |
the background.
This is one way to control your battery usage.

| Typing on the iPad| 00:01 |
Although I don't recommend using the iPad
for typing term papers, or thesis.
| | 00:05 |
There are times in class where you will
use the keyboard, and will want to type,
| | 00:11 |
particularly for taking notes.
So let's tap on the app Notes, and see
| | 00:17 |
some of the features of the keyboard.
As soon as you tap in the document, the
| | 00:22 |
keyboard slides up.
If you tap on a Return key and start a
| | 00:26 |
new line, any new line will start with a
capitalized letter.
| | 00:32 |
If you want to insert a capitalized
letter later, you simply tap the Shift
| | 00:37 |
key and the letter that you want to be
capitalized.
| | 00:40 |
If you want a whole word to be
capitalized Double tap on the Shift key
| | 00:48 |
and begin typing.
To undo this feature simply tap on the
| | 00:54 |
Shift key.
A cool super user trick for capitalizing
| | 00:59 |
letters is to tap on the Shift key and
slide to the letter that you want to capitalize.
| | 01:07 |
To insert a period, double tap on the
space bar.
| | 01:12 |
One of the most interesting and amazing
features of this keyboard is that you can
| | 01:15 |
switch from keyboard to keyboard.
From country keyboard to country
| | 01:19 |
keyboard, and there are also special
keyboards with emoticons that are
| | 01:23 |
particularly attractive to students.
If you tap once on the Home button to go
| | 01:29 |
back to your multitasking bar, then tap
on the Settings app, then tap on Keyboards.
| | 01:39 |
Then tap on Add New Keyboard, look at all
of the different keyboards that you have available.
| | 01:46 |
This is fantastic for foreign students,
for doing things in different countries
| | 01:51 |
and for students who have English as a
second language.
| | 01:55 |
They appear in alphabetical order.
We're going to experiment with the Emoji
| | 01:59 |
keyboard by tapping on the word Emoji.
And now we have it added into our keyboards.
| | 02:05 |
If I double tap on the Home key, that
brings up my multitasking bar, then I'll
| | 02:11 |
tap on notes.
Then tap anywhere in the page, and now
| | 02:17 |
when I look at the keyboard in the bottom
left I see a new key with the globe on it.
| | 02:22 |
If I tap on that key, that brings up my
new keyboard which is my emoticons, and
| | 02:28 |
tapping on those images has now replaced
my standard keyboard.
| | 02:34 |
Now I'm sure a lot of the teachers are
groaning as I explain how to this.
| | 02:37 |
You can also delete these keyboards.
In order to delete these keyboards you go
| | 02:42 |
back to Settings.
And tap on the Edit button in the upper
| | 02:47 |
right corner.
And tap on the red minus sign, and then
| | 02:53 |
tap the Delete key.
Back in Notes, tap anywhere in the document.
| | 03:01 |
And now if we look at the keyboard,
you'll notice that the key with the globe
| | 03:06 |
icon is missing.
There are also some special hidden things
| | 03:11 |
in the keys.
If you tap on the E and pull up, you'll
| | 03:17 |
see all the different ways in which you
can use the E key, even in foreign languages.
| | 03:23 |
You may try tapping on some of the other
letters, like O.
| | 03:25 |
But the most important ones to me are the
ones that show when you tap on the
| | 03:32 |
exclamation and comma, there's your
apostrophe.
| | 03:35 |
And the question mark and period, there's
your quotation marks.
| | 03:41 |
And that keeps you from having to switch
back and forth between two different keyboards.
| | 03:46 |
There will be times when you'll want to
Copy and Cut and Paste things.
| | 03:51 |
Just tap twice on a word and that selects
the word, and a pop up menu shows.
| | 03:57 |
That gives you a number of choices to
Cut, Copy, Paste, suggest other ways of
| | 04:02 |
spelling the word, or even defining a
word in the dictionary.
| | 04:07 |
If you want to select more, you can tap
on any of the blue dots and pull them
| | 04:12 |
left or right.
As you pull left and right, you'll see a
| | 04:17 |
magnifying glass come up.
And if I tap on Copy right now, and
| | 04:22 |
insert my (UNKNOWN) in a different part
of the document and hit return, and then,
| | 04:30 |
tap again.
I can Paste that selection where the I
| | 04:33 |
beam is.
And as you're typing, if any of the words
| | 04:37 |
appear with a red dotted underline, that
means you've misspelled them.
| | 04:42 |
If you tap on those words, it will give
you a suggestion, and if you want that
| | 04:48 |
suggestion, just tap on it.
To hide the keyboard, there is a button
| | 04:58 |
in the bottom right that you may tap on.
And that will slide the keyboard down.
| | 05:03 |
And anytime you want to bring the
keyboard back in to any of the apps where
| | 05:07 |
you're typing, simply tap on the
document.
| | 05:11 |
And last, a really fun trick to do is
there are different kinds of ways you can
| | 05:16 |
set up your keyboard.
If you put your two fingers together and
| | 05:20 |
split them apart with one gesture, you
now have split the keyboard and this
| | 05:26 |
gives you a lot more visible space so you
can see what you're doing on the screen.
| | 05:30 |
And if you take those two pointer fingers
and push them back to the center, you
| | 05:36 |
rejoin your keyboard.
There's an unusual key on this keyboard,
| | 05:41 |
there's a microphone.
If you tap on this icon, you can dictate
| | 05:47 |
words into an audio recording, and iPad
will do its best to type whatever you say.
| | 05:53 |
This key is particularly effective with
young students learning how to read they
| | 05:59 |
can speak their thoughts then see them
typed.
| | 06:03 |
If you have students with special needs,
this can be a very effective tool.
| | 06:08 |
Those of them who do not have the ability
to type with their hands or do not have
| | 06:12 |
good, small motor skills or who lean
towards being more auditory.
| | 06:16 |
This key will give you a way for them to
express themselves through text.
| | 06:22 |
So these are some of the fun features
that are designed into and hidden and
| | 06:26 |
built for you to have a great time typing
in iPad even though you can't feel the keys.

| Camera and Photos| 00:01 |
Two of the most valuable apps for
teaching are the Camera and Photos.
| | 00:06 |
Let's tap on the Camera icon.
Tapping anywhere on the screen while you
| | 00:13 |
take a picture, brings up the focus point
It'll show as a blue rectangle.
| | 00:18 |
To zoom, move your fingers apart, the
thumb and the pointer finger.
| | 00:28 |
This will greatly reduce the quality, to
zoom down just pinch back.
| | 00:40 |
To capture a photo, tap the button with
the image of a camera, and upon release
| | 00:45 |
the photo will be taken.
Once you have taken a photo, you'll see
| | 00:50 |
an image of that photo down in the bottom
left.
| | 00:54 |
If you slide your finger from left to
right across the view, you'll be able to
| | 00:58 |
see recently taken photos.
Another onboard app that ships is Photo Booth.
| | 01:09 |
For fun just try it.
Some of the pinching and open gestures
| | 01:13 |
that we just did with fingers on the
camera, also work with certain effects here.
| | 01:19 |
Let's look at the kaleidoscope effect.
By pinching open and close.
| | 01:26 |
We can scale up and zoom out and in to
create a more interesting kaleidoscope.
| | 01:35 |
We're going to look at how to share
photos once you have taken some.
| | 01:37 |
Tap on the Photos.
From the Photos Tab, tap on Edit.
| | 01:47 |
And then select the images you want to
share.
| | 01:51 |
Next tap the Share button.
If you want to send more than five images
| | 01:57 |
by email, you will have to copy and paste
them into the email.
| | 02:02 |
To delete photos, Select the Photos Tab,
Tap Edit.
| | 02:07 |
Tap the images you want to remove, then
tap Delete.
| | 02:12 |
Now to create an album.
Tap on Albums, then tap the plus sign to
| | 02:25 |
add a new album.
Give the album a name.
| | 02:29 |
And then tap save.
Select any of the photos from Camera Roll
| | 02:35 |
that you would like to add to your newly
created album.
| | 02:41 |
When you are finished tap on the done
button.
| | 02:46 |
If you tap on Blue Art the album we just
created you'll see the images you just
| | 02:50 |
added to that album.
If you would like to add additional
| | 02:55 |
photos to an album, tap on Edit, then
select the images you wish to add, then
| | 03:02 |
tap on Add To.
And a pop-up menu will show up, asking
| | 03:08 |
you whether you want to add to an
existing album, or add to a new album.
| | 03:11 |
We're going to add to an existing album.
then tap on Blue Art.
| | 03:16 |
Let's go to albums.
Let's tap on the album that we want to
| | 03:21 |
look at, Blue Art.
Let's tap on the Edit button to re-order
| | 03:27 |
the images.
By tapping and sliding back and forth,
| | 03:31 |
you can order your photos into any order
that you want.
| | 03:35 |
Now, let's tap on Done.
To see an image in full screen, tap on
| | 03:40 |
the image, then using your fingers,
squeeze to go back to the thumbnail view.
| | 03:48 |
You can also use this gesture to enlarge
the images by squeezing out.
| | 03:54 |
there are two ways that you can do slide
shows within the photo app.
| | 04:00 |
You can tap slide show and bring up
whatever transitions you want or music if
| | 04:05 |
you want, and start the slide show.
This method will cycle through all your
| | 04:12 |
pictures once and then quit.
The other method for doing a slideshow is
| | 04:19 |
a presentation mode called Picture Frame.
Press the ON OFF button, press it again
| | 04:25 |
and press the picture frame icon that
looks like a flower next to the slide to unlock.
| | 04:30 |
The iPad will start scrolling through all
of your photos from the Camera Roll by default.
| | 04:37 |
To change the setting and to choose a
specific album, go back to Settings.
| | 04:49 |
Then choose Picture Frame > Albums and
this is counter intuitive but you have to
| | 04:58 |
deselect everything but what you want.
Now if you go back to Picture Frame for
| | 05:04 |
presentation mode, it will loop through
the album that you have selected.
| | 05:09 |
Camera and Photos is a great way to
display the work that your students are
| | 05:13 |
doing, for them to tell stories, for them
to show animations, to use like a flip-book.
| | 05:18 |
To do research projects that includes all
kinds of media from photos to pictures of
| | 05:22 |
text, to scanned images, to videos.
So using the Photo and Camera apps,
| | 05:29 |
you'll have a great time presenting the
work that your students do.
| | 05:32 |
The Camera and Photos app will become
essential parts of your teaching with the
| | 05:37 |
iPad in the classroom.
| | 05:38 |

| Browsing the web with Safari| 00:01 |
The Safari app on the iPad has many
features that are helpful for searching,
| | 00:06 |
finding and archiving information that
you're researching and coming to again
| | 00:10 |
and again in your class.
Let's tap on the Safari app.
| | 00:16 |
There's a feature called Lazy Search.
Instead of typing the entire address,
| | 00:20 |
like Apple.com, you can simply type the
word apple.
| | 00:25 |
Then tap on Go.
And there you are, you are at the
| | 00:29 |
Apple.com site.
Now let's take a look at a website, the
| | 00:34 |
Roux Academy.com.
We're going to type in, just simply Roux Academy.
| | 00:44 |
If we tap and hold on any of the links, a
pop-up window appears that allows us to
| | 00:50 |
open this link, to open in a new tab, add
to a reading list or copy.
| | 00:55 |
Now let's try the same technique by
tapping on an image.
| | 00:59 |
Let's go to the apple.
As you can see, we can save an image or
| | 01:04 |
copy that image.
If we save the image, it will appear in
| | 01:08 |
the Camera Roll.
To zoom, double tap and you will fill the
| | 01:13 |
whole page.
To zoom out, double tap the page again to
| | 01:18 |
return to the original size.
Now we're going to switch over to one of
| | 01:22 |
my Wikispaces.com classes.
This is Art 158, where I teach
| | 01:26 |
JavaScript, this is the home page.
Tap on the Share button that looks like a
| | 01:31 |
rectangle with an arrow.
I usually have my students do this, I
| | 01:35 |
have them add it to the Home screen.
They'll be using this Wiki space and this
| | 01:39 |
Home page for all of their projects, for
all their materials and for their
| | 01:43 |
syllabus and course materials.
By clicking on Add To Home, giving my
| | 01:48 |
icon a name, I can add this icon to the
iPad home screen.
| | 01:54 |
Now my students don't have to remember
the URL and can come again and again to
| | 01:58 |
the landing page for this course.
Another great feature is how to find
| | 02:02 |
things on page.
If I go into the search box and type in
| | 02:06 |
the word art and then scroll to the
bottom of the popup box I see there's a
| | 02:10 |
feature called, On This Page.
That's only looking for the word art, not
| | 02:14 |
looking for a website.
Now, at the bottom of the browser, there
| | 02:19 |
are left and right arrows.
You can see that I've found two matches,
| | 02:24 |
and when I'm done, I can tap on the done
button.
| | 02:28 |
If I want to do another search for the
word syllabus, as soon as you type that
| | 02:36 |
word you have the popup window that I
showed you before.
| | 02:38 |
And if you scroll to the bottom of that
you'll see, find this word but you've
| | 02:42 |
also brought up the keyboard.
At the top of the keyboard you'll now see
| | 02:46 |
a special thing called Find on Page.
You can type any word that you want to
| | 02:51 |
search for on the webpage and quickly
scan that content.
| | 02:55 |
And see if there's anything pertinent to
what you're looking for in your research.
| | 03:00 |
Once done, tap on the Done button and
you'll go back to the browser.
| | 03:05 |
Finally, there's a feature I like a lot
called Reading List.
| | 03:08 |
Many of us are looking and researching
and scanning through many, many websites,
| | 03:12 |
but with the reading list, you can add
this list or add an article.
| | 03:16 |
So let's tap on the Share button, and tap
on Add to Reading List.
| | 03:23 |
And then if we tap on the book icon at
the top, then tap on the glasses.
| | 03:28 |
What appears in the list is all recently
saved web pages that you'd like to come
| | 03:33 |
back and revisit.
This works with PDF, and it also works
| | 03:37 |
with URLs.
This is a great way to quickly go through
| | 03:40 |
a lot of information, and then at your
leisure go back and read and study what
| | 03:44 |
you have saved.
Using the Safari browser, in the iPad, is
| | 03:48 |
a great way to do research, to sort
through content, and to archive those
| | 03:52 |
things you wish to keep for a later date.
Students and teachers alike use it daily.

| Exploring the world with Maps| 00:00 |
The Maps app is an on board application
that ships with the iPad.
| | 00:04 |
And it's a great way to take virtual
field trips with your classroom to
| | 00:09 |
connect with places, people, and things
that you would normally not be able to
| | 00:12 |
see in a classroom.
Let's tap on the Maps app.
| | 00:18 |
In the bottom left corner is the arrow
key that navigates to where you are presently.
| | 00:23 |
If you double tap on that a compass will
appear in the upper right hand corner.
| | 00:27 |
As you play and turn around you'll see
the compass will move, the red is always
| | 00:32 |
pointing to the north.
At the bottom right is a page curl, tap
| | 00:38 |
on the page curl.
Let's turn on the Satellite view.
| | 00:46 |
On the bottom left side of the screen
next to the arrow is a 3D button, tap on
| | 00:50 |
the 3D button.
Zooming in kind of gives you a Parallax View.
| | 00:56 |
By taking your two fingers and going up
and down on the iPad, you can change the view.
| | 01:03 |
By tapping on the page curl, you can see
you have a number of options to do other things.
| | 01:08 |
One of things that I do with my students
is to drop pins on different areas and to
| | 01:14 |
mark them, and annotate our maps that
we're creating and then do screen captures.
| | 01:20 |
There are certain cities where you can
actually do fly-overs, where the Parallax
| | 01:25 |
View actually turns into a real 3D view.
In the search address, we're going to
| | 01:30 |
type Tower of London.
Tap search, and zoom in very, very close
| | 01:40 |
to the city of London.
Now, if you look in the bottom left-hand
| | 01:54 |
corner, you'll see that the 3D button
turned into a picture of buildings.
| | 01:59 |
This means that this particular city is
done in real 3D architecture.
| | 02:05 |
As we zoom in, we can get very close to
the buildings.
| | 02:09 |
And by using our two fingers with a
twisting or rotation, we can start to fly
| | 02:16 |
around the different buildings right
there in London.
| | 02:18 |
San Francisco works.
New York works.
| | 02:22 |
Stanford works, really have some fun with
this.
| | 02:25 |
This is a great way to fly in and have a
virtual field trip in less than five minutes.
| | 02:32 |
The Maps is a powerful tool that you can
use for teaching geography, for teaching
| | 02:37 |
about other places, and for really just
having a great and fun experience as they
| | 02:42 |
search and see the world.
| | 02:43 |

| Third-party tools for use with the iPad| 00:00 |
When you develop an iPad classroom one of
the things that will come up are what
| | 00:04 |
accessories do you need or not need?
What should you purchase for the students
| | 00:08 |
that will last through the wear and tear?
There are a number of third-party devices
| | 00:12 |
and tools for use with the iPad.
There are many types of accessories
| | 00:16 |
available to enhance the use of the iPad
for teaching and learning.
| | 00:20 |
These include cables, connectors, power
adaptors, stylus types, tripods, cover
| | 00:25 |
and cases.
External keyboards, external speakers,
| | 00:29 |
camera connectors, card readers,
microphones and headsets and ear buds.
| | 00:34 |
There are even some really fun homemade
do it yourself ideas.
| | 00:38 |
Apple has a whole section devoted to iPad
accessories.
| | 00:42 |
The accessoires that are available on the
iPad store include things like your
| | 00:47 |
cables, earbuds with microhphones, which
I highly recommend.
| | 00:53 |
I actually have my students purchase this
as since they're put in the students ears.
| | 00:58 |
Adapters for the HDMI and for the camera
then there's the power adapters.
| | 01:04 |
And as you can see it's a small list but
it's the basic go to items you might need.
| | 01:11 |
There are some really good sites by
educators available that have done some
| | 01:14 |
review and research and make
recommendations.
| | 01:17 |
This is one of my particular favorites.
It's called iPad Education and it's a
| | 01:22 |
professor in the UK.
Presentation becomes a big issue.
| | 01:27 |
A lot of the projects that you're going
to do with your students can be
| | 01:30 |
multimedia projects, videos, slide shows.
So getting a nice little stand with the
| | 01:35 |
iPad is a really great idea for
presenting ideas and displaying what
| | 01:39 |
students have done.
In class you'll find that being able to
| | 01:44 |
hear the sound in videos and to hear
audio recordings will also become one of
| | 01:49 |
the things that you'll want to deal with.
And there are a number of small speakers
| | 01:53 |
that you can get that work perfectly well
with the iPad or you can stream out to
| | 01:56 |
different projection systems that use
audio.
| | 02:01 |
I love this.
There are all kinds of floor stands.
| | 02:04 |
This floor stand was actually originally
developed for musicians and it's got a
| | 02:09 |
telescoping way that it works but it
doesn't take up space on the ground.
| | 02:12 |
So you can use this as you see on the
left.
| | 02:15 |
It can be very, very short.
And here it's being use ad as a document camera.
| | 02:19 |
But it could also be used for a musician
or for a speaker presenting in a more
| | 02:23 |
formal situation.
And it doesn't really cover up the
| | 02:26 |
speaker and it gives you mobility and the
ability to work around.
| | 02:29 |
So if you're doing a large kind of
multimedia with garage band and music and
| | 02:33 |
videos this might be a really great
stand.
| | 02:36 |
There are all kinds of cases this one of
course made me laugh but I guess it would
| | 02:40 |
be indestructable by students its got
rubber bumpers all the way around it.
| | 02:44 |
And for lower grades or active classrooms
or field trips.
| | 02:47 |
Maybe this is the kind of pad you might
look at.
| | 02:50 |
I do want to remind you that with the
iPad Cart there are very slim slots, so
| | 02:55 |
you want to make sure that you have a
slim cover if you're using the iPad Cart.
| | 03:01 |
These are two of the devices that have
become almost must haves as teachers are
| | 03:06 |
embracing using garageband, this let's
you link to the GarageBand and to.
| | 03:11 |
Start working in Garage Band to dock your
musics and do all kinds of things.
| | 03:15 |
Part two of his recommendations are other
things that people look at and sometimes
| | 03:21 |
and or don't want.
I know for a while everybody a wanted a
| | 03:24 |
keyboard talks and there are a lot of
Bluetooth keyboards available for the iPad.
| | 03:30 |
I personally don't use them in my
classroom.
| | 03:32 |
I'm not thinking of it as being a word
processing device.
| | 03:36 |
Just small answer, small amounts of
typing.
| | 03:39 |
There are all kinds of USB cables.
This one's a nice one because you can
| | 03:43 |
attach it to your belt.
Or you can attach it to something you're
| | 03:46 |
wearing around the neck and you can use
it as an adapter.
| | 03:49 |
The teacher really should think about for
their own personal iPad getting some sort
| | 03:52 |
of case that protects it you'll be
traveling around a lot more with this
| | 03:56 |
device than work stations.
You're going to be more active.
| | 03:59 |
So having a way to protect your device as
you travel from classroom to classroom or
| | 04:04 |
out to field trips is very important.
As school's are adopting iPads they're
| | 04:09 |
finding that a lot of their projectors
don't have HDMI.
| | 04:13 |
And getting something that works with VGA
is an important thing because most of the
| | 04:17 |
schools that I know and this is going to
change.
| | 04:18 |
Have VGA adaptors so that you want to get
a link that works well with your iPad so
| | 04:23 |
that you can link to whatever projectors
are available in the room in which you're
| | 04:26 |
going to be teaching.
Again, I said there's all kinds of tripods.
| | 04:31 |
This is a pretty heavy duty tripod but it
does allow you to do real kind of camera
| | 04:35 |
work and photography and video shots.
Now, I'm going to go right now and tell
| | 04:41 |
you how I started shopping for the first
stylus that I bought for myself and some
| | 04:45 |
of the recommendations that I make to my
students.
| | 04:48 |
Whenever I'm making a purchase of an
accessory, the first thing I do is go out
| | 04:52 |
and find a site that's reviewing that
accessory.
| | 04:54 |
So this is a great site that does a very
good job of reviewing what styluses are
| | 04:59 |
available for the iPad.
And they do a little video where they
| | 05:03 |
talk about the different styluses
available.
| | 05:05 |
And as you can see they're all located
right there but as you scroll down, my
| | 05:09 |
favorite part of this website is that
they put up this secondary navigation
| | 05:14 |
that allows you to see all the products
that they're reviewing.
| | 05:16 |
And then you can just jump to the
different ones that you want.
| | 05:19 |
For instance, a, a fairly low inexpensive
one, believe it or not, is the Amazon stylus.
| | 05:24 |
And lots of people are purchasing that.
My own personal favorite is the Jot Pro
| | 05:30 |
and the reason I like it is I am a design
teacher and it gives you the most
| | 05:34 |
precision and in my hand personally, it
feels the most like holding a pencil or
| | 05:38 |
holding a pen.
But there's all different kinds.
| | 05:41 |
And then at the bottom of this review, it
does a comparison by price, by
| | 05:46 |
productivity and byactually your kind of
personal user styles.
| | 05:51 |
So I think this is an important site to
look at and get these comparisons before
| | 05:56 |
you go out and make the purchase.
So here are their best recommendations
| | 06:00 |
for using something for writing, using
something for diagramming, something for
| | 06:05 |
quick scribbling, painting and then the
all around.
| | 06:08 |
This gives you an idea of what's out
there, what the prices are and what the
| | 06:11 |
functionality of each of those items is.
So once I've done the review and the
| | 06:17 |
research, one of the things you can do is
go out to Google.
| | 06:22 |
Click on shopping and then up in the
Google search box, type in Stylus for iPad.
| | 06:29 |
And as you can see it instantly brings up
a lot of different products and pricing
| | 06:39 |
that you can look by.
If you're really on a budget, just come
| | 06:42 |
over to the sort by and you can go low to
high.
| | 06:46 |
And you can see that you can actually buy
for your classroom and for students
| | 06:50 |
packages of three and four at a time.
I often do this with my students.
| | 06:54 |
I give them as rewards for challenges in
class or for special projects or for
| | 06:59 |
helping teach, being the mini-me teacher
in the classroom.
| | 07:02 |
So I find rewarding the students with a
stylus is a great way.
| | 07:05 |
And they really appreciate it.
And they learn different ways of working
| | 07:08 |
with the iPad.
So we all know Apple pricing.
| | 07:11 |
If you're an educator, you've been
working with the Apple store and Apple
| | 07:15 |
education products for a long time.
If you were proposing a budget, just like
| | 07:19 |
any other expenditures you might make.
I recommend doing the research, reading
| | 07:24 |
the reviews and checking out the various
competing vendors such as Monoprice.
| | 07:29 |
And there are the two giants Google and
Amazon that distrubute for a wide variety
| | 07:34 |
of vendors.
You need to consider your budget before
| | 07:38 |
you go out and make purchases.
So my personal favorites are the Jot Pro.
| | 07:43 |
As I told you, I teach Design so writing
and drawing precisely were my number one objectives.
| | 07:49 |
I don't have my students purchase it.
It's a fairly expensive pen.
| | 07:52 |
But I use it in class to demonstrate what
the range might be out there for a
| | 07:56 |
professional in the Design area.
For our iPad cart at Pasadena City
| | 08:01 |
college we're using the monoprice clear
silicone case.
| | 08:05 |
It fits inside the icart very well in
those tiny narrow slots and it has a
| | 08:10 |
rubber edge to it that gives it a little
balanace and makes it more durable in the classroom.
| | 08:14 |
So some great do it yourself presentation
ideas are to use Velcro on the back of
| | 08:19 |
your iPad.
And then put Velcro onto the cupboard or
| | 08:22 |
wall in your classroom and you can make a
grid wall of iPads that way.
| | 08:26 |
Or you can simply purchase an inexpensive
shelving from home accessories in many
| | 08:32 |
department stores.
They are made originally for putting up
| | 08:35 |
art and photo frames or books.
It's also great presentation tool for
| | 08:39 |
doing boards and posters and things like
that.
| | 08:42 |
I want to leave you with just a couple of
thoughts about getting accessories.
| | 08:45 |
Yes, you're going to get accessories and
want accessories for your iPad classroom.
| | 08:49 |
But, if you follow my three steps, which
is research, review, budget, you'll make
| | 08:55 |
wise purchases and have just what you
need for the kinds of projects and the
| | 08:59 |
teaching style that you want in your iPad
classroom.

ConclusionNext steps| 00:00 |
Now that we've reached the end of the
course, and you have grasped the process
| | 00:04 |
of planning, implementing, and
integrating the iPad into your projects,
| | 00:08 |
course, or program.
I would like to suggest several more
| | 00:12 |
courses available at Lynda.com.
That would further your learning and
| | 00:16 |
understanding of the iPad, and ways you
can use it in the classroom.

And one more very important topic that is
| | 01:18 |
beyond the scope of this course, is iPad
accessibility enhancements, apps, and
| | 01:23 |
uses with special needs students.
I encourage you to spend some time on
| | 01:27 |
Apple's accessability website.
It provides support and tutorials on how
| | 01:33 |
to use vision hearing physical and motor
skills features that are included on the iPad.
| | 01:38 |
The iPad in the classroom has given me a
new take on teaching and I see infectious
| | 01:45 |
enthusiasm in my students.
The iPad as a learning tool brings the
| | 01:49 |
fun, the focus, and the desire to learn
back to the first and foremost position.
| | 01:54 |
So, go out, have fun, create projects,
share your experiences, and learn from
| | 02:00 |
each other.
