It was great to be back in NLR after a great ISTE conference. We had another productive iPad professional development with innovative educators.
Answer to question:
Haiku decks can only be created on the App, not the web.
Summary of responses from participants:
Videolicious:
Kim Haydon - I think this would be great for kids that are terrified to get up in front of the class.
Girdler - Videolicious would be great to do short training videos without videotaping myself. Videos are easy to post on the district web page with a link and not the actual video. With all the new changes coming through the system, more resources need to be available for teachers.
Suggestions:
Girdler - Insight 360 cost money but combines several of these apps into one. I would have purchased with my own money if I were still in the classroom.
Hart - I used the dictionary app in class a lot for my students. They liked to hear the words pronounced.
Ms. Billings - I plan on using the financial football app in my financial class for review.
Drop box:
Girdler - Dropbox is like having a mobile network drive. Helps transferring files to iPad.
Kim Haydon - Students can save things at school on Dropbox and then have access to them on their devices at home. When students save to their J:/ drive they can't get to it from home.
Haiku Deck:
Hoggard - During the first week of school, put the students in small groups and have them do an introduction presentation.
Kim Haydon - For when students are working in groups so they can update what they have discussed for the rest of the class
Bonus apps-Remind 101 and iPick a student, both free
Thank you to all of the participants, I had a wonderful day working with dedicated educators.
Have a great summer!
