Day+06

As of late late last week Mark was going e-mail you and let you know what was happening with this weeks training. Please check your e-mails. --- //"We are going to look at adjusting our training sessions on the I Pads for the near future. We are going to be meeting in the Art Space this coming Thursday morning at 6:30 a.m. as well as next Tuesday afternoon right after school. We will spend some time brainstorming with each other on how we can use the I Pad as an instructional tool in the classroom and how students can use them within the classroom environment and for assignments. We need everyone to attend at least one of these sessions, your feedback is important.// //Thanks,// //Mark"// //-// As I said last time I would show you some holiday apps....Here are some apps-n-things to look at before the big Solstice Break. **Please do not do look at them while your supposed to be doing what Mark asked.**

 * An APP advent calendar its a new "free" app each day. NO "opening doors" early ;)!
 * Here is a link of a cool iPad stand to use it as a document camera ||
 * [[image:olympusipads/santanot.gif]] || * I did find a way to hook up the iPad to the projector... **Wirelessly!** I will have to wait until January to show you that. It is not free and not for novices. It involves purchasing Apple TV and setting up a new wireless network. We're working on it...
 * **CANVAS now has an app out too.** What I have see of it so far... Seems like a link to the website!
 * The Cart is ready to be checked out. Use the calendar in Outlook to check it out.
 * And lastly I am putting together a new site for the apps that we have put on the Student iPads. It will come together more over Winter Break... check it out at http://olyapps.wikispaces.com ||

All this is about our school iPads. But, keep in mind that students may have their own devices and they do not need an Apple product. Sure they can use their Droid (or other) phones...
