VoiceThread Mobile for Apple® iDevices
VoiceThread bridges the gap between real-time discussions and static multi-media slideshows, making it the platform for on-demand teaching, learning, training, and collaborating. We are working with the lofty goal of true accessibility so that any "door" used to access VoiceThread is equally effective for your means of participation.
"We want to serve the needs of a person with dyslexia or ADHD, an outdoor classroom with mobile devices, a user in the developing world without high-speed internet, a kindergartner, or an elderly lifelong learner." (Read more)
With that goal in mind, we'll be releasing a Mobile App this fall for the iPad®/iPhone®/iPod touch® that will provide the same experience of creating and collaborating around your content on your Mobile device that you would experience in the web-based application... and we're pretty excited about that!
Take a look, and tell us what you think.
"Welcome to the world of the iPad! I hope that you, like I have, will find this amazing device transforming in your approach to the utilization of technology for teaching and learning. Hopefully, we will soon be saying goodbye to the fifty pound backpacks our students carry around, and all of their textbooks and learning resources will be available on this one, small device!
Whether you are currently using iPads in your school or for yourself...or if you are just beginning to explore the possibilities, I hope you will find resources here to benefit you in your journey. Enjoy this site, share the information with others, and feel free to contact me with any questions or to share your experiences! Below are some of my "musings" as I reflect on where we currently are in our journey with the utilization of technology with our students. Enjoy!"
"Meet the iPad"
Below is the agenda used for introductory iPad workshops given by Julene.
There are additional workshops that are more curriculum and integration-specific as well.
From the blog - "I have been asked time and time again by students, teachers and technology specialists just what I am installing on my class set of iPads. Well, here's the post you've all been waiting for. Below is the list of all applications that I am installing to start off my iPad project. At current prices the total cost of the apps came to just under $200 per 'set' of iPads. (with Apple's new licensing rules)"
