One challenge for teachers with students using devices like iPad and iPod touch is collecting student work. Unfortunately, there is not one consistent way for apps to export what a user creates. Some apps connect to Dropbox, some share through iTunes, some export to a website, some share through an IP address, but most apps email content as an attachment.
In order to send images, movies, and documents as an attachment, email must be set up on the device. Logging in through web-based mail won't work because you cannot attach files when using web mail in iOS. Email has to be set up in iOS's Mail app in order for an app that shares through email to actually be able to send.
This is the 2nd year of the WRDSB iPods in the Classroom Project. There are 4 schools involved this year: Ryerson Public School, William G. Davis Senior Public School, W.T.Townshend Public School and Queensmount Senior Public School. We use this wiki as a place to collaborate, share ideas and post resources.
