Day+02

Day 2 (ksmedberg) Please use the Kearns page (or similar resource) to find some apps you may like to use in your classroom. Download the app from the app store and be prepared to discuss how you could use them in your teaching. We (you) will add the apps below along with your name and class you would use the app for. We will follow a similar format each week. Keep in mind that there are "2" kinds of apps. (I am saying this very loosely)
 * Teacher apps for teaching (a whole class) and management
 * Student apps for doing your assignments on a student iPad. (At some point you will be able to check out an iPad lab for students to use in your room. The documents and skills you are doing now are in preparation for that day...)

I will be purchasing the following apps (I need Marks approval first) for you so that you do not have to. I can only bulk purchase apps that would be applicable to ALL of us not just one person or dept.
 * Office HD. to create Word, Excel and Presentation files.
 * Splashtop
 * GoodReader
 * (More TBA) as needed/discovered. Per department?

I will be showing you these 4 apps (things). (Both of these seem like websites but both are important as many apps use either (or both) of these sites for you to access documents from your iPad.)
 * Wikispaces (edit, adding links) (Yes you can do it from your iPad but it is pretty tedious on the small screen!)
 * App Store details
 * Dropbox (Please use this link to set up your account.)
 * Google (if you have a g-mail account.. you already have a Google docs account)
 * Office HD
 * FlipBoard.(We did not get to. It is news app, but is displayed very well and fun to use.)

Please continue adding the apps you will be showing us by clicking on the edit button above.

To add a link...
 * Find the page you want to link to FIRST. Copy the URL.
 * While in edit mode in the wikispace, click on the Link button above.
 * Chose "External Link" (it is external of this wiki)
 * Type the words you want highlighted to be the link
 * Paste in the URL
 * Click "Add Link"
