"A short time ago I published a list of "starter apps" for the iPad, most of them free. I've had several questions about how I created this app list, so I made a video describing the process. The method I describe isn't the only way to build an app list document or to share a favorite collection of apps with others. For example, you could save a step and just drag and drop the title of the app into a document once you find the app in the store. It will become a live link and look like this - Merriam-Webster Dictionary HD"

"IF you have an iPod/iPhone, please make sure that you are not on the mobile version of Pinterest.com when you are on Safari. How do you know? Open Safari, go to Pinterest's website, look at the URL bar and make sure that the URL says: http://pinterest.com and NOT http://m.pinterest.com. See the 'm'? IF your Pinterest website shows this mobile version, you need to select 'Full Site' first before you can make the below tutorial work. Here's an example. I was on the Pinterest website using my iPod. You see the 'm'? Yes, NO NO!! Look to the right, next my avatar is a drop down arrow. Click that! You will see three option with one being 'Full Site'. Click that and you now should have the regular Pinterest website - it'll look the same way as when you look at it from a regular computer screen."

I've also noticed that a lot of our students struggle to learn without direct teacher instruction - they don't seem to be as independent in their learning as I've come to expect. I'm not sure if that's because we are living in Japan, where literally every single thing comes with explicit instructions (e.g. the audio warnings everywhere you go, like "You are now on the escalator, hold the handrail and stand on the left," or this interesting story about Crocs) or if they're just used to being directly told what to do. I want to make sure that my students understand that they can learn anytime, anywhere, from anyone who is willing and able to share their knowledge. I want them to have the skills not only to be able to find out the answer, but also to share what they know. I'm glad to see that other teachers are trying the same thing too…

ScreenRecorder Author: boopyman // Category: Apps ScreenRecorder is a very useful little utility that lets you take video captures of your screen. This app is almost a necessity whenever you need to make a video on your iPhone without the use of a computer. Some examples of what you might need this application for are making a tutorial, a demo, or just an explanatory video for a friend who needs some help on his device. You could even use this app as a "Notes" application, with the only difference being that instead of having to write everything down, you can just film it! As a plus, you can record your voice with a microphone and email the video for viewing on a computer!
