How to create audiobooks in iTunes? - 0 views

  •  
    Digital audiobooks can be purchased online including Audible, eMusic, and iTunes. iTunes keeps audiobooks separate from your music library so as to make them easier to find. Also, it allows you to adjust the playback speed of the file as well as resume from the previously played chapter where it left. Just by tuning few settings, you can ready your iTunes and iPod to recognize any audio file or group of audio files as an audiobook.

Why BYOD Makes Sense: Thinking Beyond a Standardized 1:1 | Edutopia - 0 views

  • students will want to use something that they're familiar with, that they own, and that they won't have to change out of once they leave school.
  • Technology doesn't need to be involved if a teacher is already flourishing without any device in the classroom. Standardizing a device across an entire school pushes the feeling of an "add-on" and must be used consistently and effectively. Many times that usage is contrived and misses the purpose of the classroom. In short, it becomes technology for technology's sake. In higher education, professors don't contrive technology use, and students can choose whether or not to use a device. The focus is less about the devices and more about the best tool on the menu for learning.

How to Disable Install Windows Updates and Shut Down Option in Windows Start Menu? - 0 views

  •  
    Windows Updates, as you know is a legitimate software update from Microsoft to make the operating system stable and secure for improved performance. By default the feature remains enabled, however, you have the option to configure it further. Set Windows to automatically install updates or get your permission prior to it. Generally, after Windows Update the system automatically shuts down due to the replacement of the Shut Down option in the Start menu with the "Install Updates and Shut Down" button. This phenomenon is sometime irritating.

Note to Principals: You Can't Keep Ignoring Social Spaces | CTQ - 3 views

  • social spaces tend to be spaces where our primary customers -- parents and students -- spend a heck of a lot of time.
  • 63 percent of the respondents to a recent Pew Research Center on Journalism and Media survey reported turning to Twitter and Facebook for news "outside the realm of friends and family"
  • a school and/or district hashtag.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • School personnel can post traditional communications -- calendar updates, school closing information, details on special programming or deadlines -- just as easily as classroom teachers can post pictures of cool classroom happenings or community organizations can post links to resources that parents and students might find useful.

    Having a social media presence is essential for schools to maintain communication with their stakeholders.  A school hashtag is an excellent way to make it easy for everyone to share.

App Inventor for Android - 9 views

  •  
    You can build just about any app you can imagine with App Inventor. Often people begin by building games like WhackAMole or games that let you draw funny pictures on your friend's faces. You can even make use of the phone's sensors to move a ball through a maze based on tilting the phone. But app building is not limited to simple games. You can also build apps that inform and educate. You can create a quiz app to help you and your classmates study for a test. With Android's text-to-speech capabilities, you can even have the phone ask the questions aloud. To use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app's behavior.
