Day+04

Day 4 -

iOS5 (**i** thing **O**perating **S**ystem #**5**) has dampened some of us because it came out right when we were learning some of the features that were being updated! So we are revisiting;
 * Find my iphone. (I wish Apple would call this iThing instead since it works on any iDevice.)
 * And some of the newer features.
 * We will also look at the other features of iCloud which we may or may not use!

Is a very powerful and easy to use tool**.** It is great for students because it Syncs. It is a website and it is an app. Students can use it here (at school on the iPad) and go home and use it on their computer. It also has many plug ins and other apps can save to it. Many students already use it. In Evernote you can; From your computers you can add an extension and...
 * Evernote Evernote in iTunes**
 * type
 * record voice
 * take or upload a picture
 * add tags - including location
 * e-mail
 * From a Browser. Firefox (and Explorer) for example I can save any of the content of the page to my evernote account by clicking on the icon.
 * From Outlook I can save any of the content of the page to my evernote account by clicking on the icon

Drawbacks.
 * It seems to take a little while to sync from computer to device
 * Have to have to have to make sure students log out of it on the device.
 * Plug ins (on computer) need to be installed per students... currently

Splashtop? Whiteboard? revisited.

Your requests. What apps do YOU WANT your students to use on the school iPads? Please fill out this form.

Some thoughts on requested apps (as we talked about before). Any answer is okay.. they're just thoughts!
 * If it is a content can students get back to the content at home or elsewhere
 * Can the save online
 * Can they study from the app.
 * If they create something can they save it online, or e-mail it?
 * Does the app synch to other sites such as Google docs, DropBox, Evernote
 * Is it a game. (Okay if it is!)
