 * How to Develop Mobile Apps for the Classroom**

Don't have to know programming to develop APPS Use Google App Inventor which has Drag and Drop approach. Many tutorials available; start there.Do ALL. Idea: Create an App for your homework page that parents can put on their phone I think kids would enjoy creating apps

Getting Apps Public: 1. download app via a qr code 2. use Getjar.com 3. email link to people


 * Session BL02 iPad:Personalizing Learning, Creating, Sharing**
 * Marco Torres torres21@mac.com or alaslearns.com**

Many cool Apps Songmaker MindMap Pencasts: Use with LiveScribe to take notes and have anytime-anywhere access The Daily Flipboard Pulse Puppet Pales Collobracam Air Harp Thumb Jam


 * CL12 You Tube Blocked? Use it Anyway**
 * Karl Sprenger**

File conversion sites: Zamzar video.org keepvid.org Real Player will download AND convert the files

Steve Zalot All of this applies to iphone and itouch as well
 * Session DL08: Deploying iPad and iOS in Education**

Can get many units up and running if you turn on the activation only mode Use IPCU (iphpone configurtion utility): free, has control features built-in; manages the devices

App Purchases Volume Purchase of Apps: 50% off when buying 20 or more copies Use a Program Volume Voucher: works like a gift card. The institution buys card - Program Facilitator buys apps -Goes to App Store and redeems Voucher -Sheet of codes is issues -Codes go to teacher -teacher copies/pastes codes into iTunes to get apps

Syncing -USB cable: can hook up to 7 os devices to a windows machine (a mac will do 30) -Cart-Based Sync -need hubs made specifically for os syncing; check to see if product is certified by Apple

Bretford Sync/Charge Cart can do 30 ipads at once

iTunes: same account will run on 5 computers but each computer will sync as many copies of apps as you have licenses for. Let iTunes do the first device completely, then allow backup to be restored to the other ipods (faster)

Birds of a Feather: Office 2010 jheiser@seal-pa.org Use one-note to post audio, visual, notes, etc. all office products can live on a cloud on server (assuming students have access to network!) many students can edit documents at once if we got office from IU then it came with Share Point which is a cloud environment

Plug ins: Microsoft Mathematics

Idea: can use a power point slide to take polls---put slide in onenote---kids access and answer. all products can be exported as pdfs

No server space? Look at Live edu. Free, each student gets 25 gb and email addresses


 * So I learned you can't scroll wiki spaces when using an iPad. Mmmm...not good. Here's what I learned today (sorry, I was too lazy to make new pages!)**

When researching use the Wonder Wheel for a graphic organizer You will need to turn off Google Instant to get the wheel to appear
 * Using Google http://cliueducation21.wikispaces.com**

Differentiating Searches Advanced Search: you can search by reading level (basic, intermediate, advainced). You can also use www.read-abul.com to see the readability of a site. www.twurdy is a site that color codes by readabililty

Looking for an interactive? Use advanced search to find a shockwave flash site Need Primary Sources? Use Google News archives

Using web 2.0 in the classroom. Create a teacher account. ex. rsmith@gmail.com Add students by writing your name, plus theirs ex. rsmith+lynn@gmail.com the teacher gets all the emails and kids don't need an email to create an account. This does not work for Google Docs, however

Google has tutorials for Google Earth on it
