iOS App Whiteboard Education Resource

"Interactive and collaborative - Whiteboards are a great way for teachers to explain concepts to their students. With the ability of some iPad apps to record, you ensure that students who did not develop understanding of the concept the first time have the opportunity to watch and listen again and again. Working in small groups or brainstorming as a class, collaborative whiteboards are a great way to share ideas. Work in the same room, on the same network or even from different parts of the country. No matter what you are working on these interactive whiteboards are a great way to document or record your thinking process. "

"So you just downloaded a few educational apps that you think might be useful in your classroom. How do you accurately compare and contrast them? Thanks to a new app review rubric from by eMobilize, it's easier than ever to understand just how useful an app may be in the classroom"

I'm not happy with the way we're doing Secondary syncing and I'm starting to think that adopting the Primary sync model (every device on one library) would be of more benefit

When, I want to deploy a new app, I buy it on my master Mac mini. Each library is configured to pull new purchases from the mini using iTunes Home Sharing. This works but is imperfect, as Home Sharing only pulls new purchases and not updates

ipod ipod_touch learning personal

shared by Brian C. Smith on 24 Mar 09 - Cached

While I think the iPod Touch could be an excellent learning tool (my iPhone certainly is), I’m also the resident curmudgeon about such things so naturally I have a few concerns about this initiative.
...

Cancel
it’s clear that many people around here are looking at the iPod Touch the same way they do our current laptops.
...

Cancel
Almost exclusively we use computers as group technologies. We have a bunch of them in a lab and then bring in a bunch of kids to use them for some teacher-designed activity.
...

Cancel
...4 more annotations...
They are designed to be customized, personalizing the user’s experience so, instead of everyone seeing the same desktop, we all see ourselves in the device.
...

Cancel
However, the iPod Touch, and other pocket computing devices, are intended for personal use.
...

Cancel
We just need to find people who are already using these devices in our schools (our IT department sees several thousand a day on the network) and invite them to tell us how they use their iPod Touch.
...

Cancel
And the few instructional examples noted in the article are pretty much the same as some of the very superficial whiteboard lessons I’ve observed.

“We think there are many areas in special education where this kind of technology can be successful, but we need data to make good decisions.”

  What of our tacit knowledge about learning, including that knowledge about the students? Is this no good? Can we not act upon what we know and not solely upon sterile data from a test?

  Granted, the iPad has potential in school, but this article, among many others, is so vague at how the device is different other than the screen size and a mention of it's price tag. iPads seem to be going the way of the IWB. I still contend that these won't be successful until they are made personal. Meaning, give it to the kid to have for the entire year. Let them take it home, play with it, read on it, correspond on it and make their learning personal. I'm currently in a pilot with iPads and the students are lukewarm to the device because they know it will go away or that they won't be able to make it work for them personally.

Most would agree that "A picture is worth a thousand words." Perhaps strangely, allow me to make the case that sometimes there is also value in distilling those thousand words into a scant few. This little post is a bit of practical sharing meant to point to two things: a cute little iOS application, and a few quick examples of its practical use. Oh, and really, I wouldn't be doing it here if it wasn't worth at least a handful of words as well.

Each student has showed improvement in the quick recall of facts, and they want to. It can’t get much better than that.”
- Brian C. Smith on 02 Jun 11
  
  So what's next? What are students going to do with their new facts? How do they apply them in 5th grade? I think part of this is knowing that they won't use their facts for anything other than a test. We must provide an immediate context for math facts.

I'm confused. I think I might've missed something... Why do I need this app? All it does is what AirPlay does already, doesn't it? If one has an AppleTV connected to either a projector or a TV, using the built-in AirPlay iOS 5 feature I can see whatever I do on my iPad on the screen (projector or TV). AND if I simple connect my iPad to a projector via cable 90% of the apps have VGA out - it works. SO WHY do I need this app?

From reading the documentation it appears that this app will enable mirroring with the original iPad. Not having access to an original iPad at the moment I can't confirm this though. The app also works on the iPhone 4 according to the site. Features - http://www.jwalsoft.com/apps/tvout-genie/tvoutfeatures App Store - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/tvout-genie!/id399552109?mt=8 I've contacted the App producer to get clarification. ohn
