iOS 5, iCloud and Education: To what degree will iBenefit? - iPads in Education - 0 views

  • Typically in a school scenario that will be when they are left charging overnight in a cart. Score one for IT administrators.
  • AirPlay mirroring will now allow anyone with an iPad 2 to project whatever is on their screen wirelessly to any HD television connected to an Apple TV. For those that aren’t familiar with Apple TV, frankly you’re in the majority. There haven’t been many compelling reasons to consider purchasing this $99 device … until now.
  • iMessage: OK, so let’s just call it Blackberry Messaging for iOS devices and leave it at that.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • iCloud focuses on integration with apps as opposed to DropBox or SugarSync which are more of a generic file storage mechanism.
  • With iCloud, the student has a web based account and the document is automatically stored and backed up from the iPad. Further, the student can access the account off-campus and retrieve the document for further editing before returning it to the iCloud account.
  • Add to that tabbed browsing and speed improvements and Safari may finally be a capable mobile browser.
  • inadequacy of the mobile Safari text editor control has made it next to impossible to use popular text editing tools to edit blog posts or Google Docs. The jury’s still out on this feature but it appears that an enhanced version could still be included with iOS 5. This would be a dramatic and very desirable improvement.
