Author’s NoteI believe very strongly in creating opportunities for everyonein our society. Our school system in the Untied States of Americaeducates everyone. I believe this is a fundamental rightthat we should never waver from. I feel this right is a cornerstoneto freedom in our society. I believe very strongly in civilrights for every individual even if it is very unpopular. Politicscan sometimes help and often hinder people’s rights. I feelthat the one big equalizer is technology in education. If youhave one weakness in a specific area you can often compensatewith technology. We cannot rely on our courts, politician,and society to always act. If we can allow our children to createtheir own opportunities with greater access to educationthat is a lasting affect we all desire. Seeing people being ableto do tasks that were once thought difficult or even impossiblegives me the greatest satisfaction on Earth. I hope this bookcan help elevate many people to a higher level of educationand allowing them to understand that possibilities or opportunitiesare endless. With hard work and innovation opportunitieswill happen. Please take advantage of every opportunityyou have. I hope this book can help yo do that.iv

CHAPTER 1The Basics

SECTION 1How to Use this BookINTERACTIVE 1.1IntroductionThis book was designed withteachers in mind. The applicationsfor this book are useful to anyone who wants to use aniPad. Of course, parents who want to pick out apps for themselvesor their children would find this book quite useful.Teachers tend to be busy people with a good deal of responsibility.When I work with teachers doing professional developmentI want to be clear, concise and give the best possible examples.People want to go through an app guide or resourcebook and pick out the information that is reliable. This book iswritten with short summaries and many links to supportingvideos. This allows readers to quickly find the best examplesand then read more or watch a video on the subjects. Thebook is written with your time as a consideration and supportinglinks to focus on what matters most.How are apps chosen?I do not have a rubric because it is not an exact science. I lookat free apps first because most schools have to consider cost asa factor towards whether to try an app. I also look for what Icall alpha apps or best of category apps. I want apps that whencompared to their peers are the best. At times, I do recommendapps that have only three star rating. Some apps are chosenbecause they do a specific task that add benefits to a studentor a teacher. However, most are four or five star apps.When teachers work with and ask about what apps to use Iwant to list five great apps that they could use to teach his orher curriculum. It is not useful to give them a long list of appswhere some of these apps would not provide a benefit. I preferquality over quantity. Many big name apps do not make thisbook because they are cost prohibitive, are not good for professionalteaching, or don’t match a specific curriculum. I alsoask the question “is this app for a professional teacher?”What I suggest:Go to the chapters, sections and pages that meet your specificneeds. Read over those apps or information. Click on the linksto the video and websites that meet your needs. Then refer tothis book when needed. Finally, check for updates on thisbook. This book is being updated continually to attempt tokeep pace with the changing apps and technology.10

AwardsThe awards are ranked to allow people to evaluate the qualityof the app.5. Common CoreThis award is given to apps that are linked to Common Corestandards.1. Best of ClassThis award recognizes the best app in a perpendicular category.It is the highest honor I can give.2. Honorable mentionThis award is for apps that are really good that people shouldknow about. The honor can be given to an app that is a solidrunner up to a best of class of. It can also be given to a greatapp that does not fit into a category.3. Author’s PickThis is for apps that have a unique quality that has gotten theattention of the author. The app might not be a best of class ora honorable mention app. However, the app has a quality thatstands out that should be highlighted. The quality might bethe price or a special feature the app has that other apps donot.4. AssessmentThe award is given to apps that can give effective teacher feedback.11

SECTION 2How to Find AppsINTERACTIVE 1.2Find appsThe best way to find apps is to Google them. You can useother search engines as well. Then go to youtube.com andwatch a video on the app. It is also a good idea to go to thecompany’s website or to see if other websites recommendthe app. Finally, when you go to the app store read the reviewsand see what related apps are also available. If youfind one good app on a subject it becomes easier to find anothersimilar app. Apps for the iPhone will also work on theiPad. They look a little different. I personally own very fewiPhone apps that I use on the iPad.Nothing replaces reading online about apps. Apps come outall the time and apps that once where unpopular get updatedand become viable. If you want to become an app expertyou need to look online and read different websites.REVIEW 1.1 Finding AppsQuestion 1 of 3According to the book where is the bestplace to start finding apps?A.

SECTION 4ProjectingProjecting with iPadsINTERACTIVE 1.4ProjectingThis is a Good article about apps that help you project withthe iPad.http://www.tammyworcester.com/TipOfWeek/TammyWTechTipOfWeek/Entries/2012/11/2_Tip_116_-_Wireless_iPad_Projector_Display.html1) Reflectorhttp://www.airsquirrels.com/Laptops come with a wireless card. Any computer that can accessthe internet wirelessly has this. However, on large networkslike the one in schools you have to create a small peer to peer networkand get every device on it. The negative with doing this isthe iPad will not be able to access the internet. If you talk to thenetwork manager at your school he or she can adjust the settingto allow this to work. The same adjustments have to be made forApple TV. If you use this software on the same wifi network asyour school’s Apple TV that should do the trick. On your homecomputer this software should work a lot less effort. I highly recommendworking with your network manager in regards to thissoftware.The screen of your iPad will appear on the monitor of your computerand can be projected.16

2) AirServerhttp://www.airserverapp.com/Pricing: http://www.airserver.com/DownloadI really like the 3.99 bulk licensee.This program is almost the exact same thing as reflections exceptright now it cost less money with a bulk license. I wouldrecommend looking at both apps. If money is an issue youmight want to consider this app.You can use Reflection or Airserver with classroom iPads ifyour network administrator lowers the security on the networkto allow the interaction. The same changes in securityare needed for Apple TV. If your network manager sets up adifferent network for Apple TV he or she can do the same orsimilar configuration for Reflection or Airserver. If you usethe same two programs on your home network it should workbecause the level of security is different. However, I cannotguarantee that it would work on every home networks. Thebottom-line is you have to talk to your local experts withinyour school to get this to work. You also need to use Airsearcerwith a computer that has a wireless card. This programwill work with PC and Macintosh.3) iPad VGA AdapterAn iPad can be projected on the Eno Board or a smart boardwith an attachment called an iPad VGA Adapter. These adaptersare sometimes called dongles. Dongles are used to attachMacintosh computers to a projector. The proper name is iPadVGA Adapter but that is a mouth full.http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC552ZM/B$29.00You can also buy a generic version for less. You can look for itonline. Some of the generic adapters have issues and are lessreliable then Apple products.17

REVIEW 1.3 Projecting4) Apple TVWith Apple TV you can project an iPad on a whiteboard or ascreen. The sound will play through the speakers the computeris connected to. You can also access Netflix, Youtube, Vimeoor play your music from iTunes. Apple TV is designed toadd internet content to your TV. It can also be used to projectyour iPad or Macintosh Computer. If you want to project yourMacintosh computer you might have to upgrade to a newer ordifferent operating system. I had to get Mountain Lion to getmy Macintosh to project.Apple TV goes for $99.http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipod/family/apple_tvQuestion 1 of 2What is the name of adapter that connectsthe iPad to the projector?A. iPad to VGA adapterB.

Cases:OtterBox Defender Series Case with Screen Protector andStand for the New iPad (4th Generation), iPad 2 and 3 - BlackI purchased this case and my son and he dropped the iPadover and over again. The iPad still works great. The case costsgood money but if you give it to a young child you might wantto consider this case. It costs a lot more money to fix an iPadwith broken glass than buying a case.Keyboard Cases:In my opinion, the combination of a keyboard and a case willbecome standard with an iPad. The keyboard/case turns aniPad into a mini-laptop. It is small and light. The long batterylife means you don’t have to plug in all of the time.

After you update to IOS 7 you thenhave to update a number of apps so that the apps are compatiblewith IOS 7. For some people having enough free space foryour apps and pictures starts to become an issue. If you havean iPad 1 or the original iPad many of the apps for IOS 7 willnot work. Some won’t work and other will allow you to downloadthe older version. What this does is make the originaliPad worth less. You cannot update an iPad 1 to higher thenIOS 5. As far as the changes I recommend watching short videoson the subject. Finding some of the menus are not intuitive.If you want to be comfortable you will have to do a littlebit of work.http://www.macworld.com/article/2048738/get-to-know-ios-7-changes-in-the-settings-app.htmliOS 7 Hidden Features - Top 10 Listhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABe1s8AaSA434

Chapter 2File SharingandFile Formats

SECTION 1File SharingVideo about file sharing on theiPad:https://vimeo.com/53743644INTERACTIVE 2.1File Sharingclassroom you can access the file. The system is not perfectbut will work for most files most of the time.File sharing is how you get files to and from the iPad. Thereare many ways to do this.The first question about file sharing is what if I donot have WiFi?The iPad is very good about transferring video, music, booksand pictures via iTunes. You can even save your apps to theiCloud. The issue with the iPad has always been how do Itransfer text documents. The answers are you can email, print(with a compatible network printer) and with a file sharingapp like Dropbox, Google Drive or SkyDrive.If you do not have WiFi in your classroom you can still transferfiles. You just can't do it during class. If I turn my WiFi offon my iPad and go to my email I can open an attachment witha number of apps. If I then go to Dropbox I can open documentsthat I saved on the service.The solution is that you transfer the files using WiFi. The filesget saved in the temporary memory of the iPad. When youopen the files you do not need WiFi at that time. Many classroomsdo not have WiFI. However, many homes have WiFi.Most schools have at least a few WiFi hot spots. You go to theWiFi hot spot and download the file then when you go to yourE-MailThis is often the easiest and most overlooked form of file sharing.If you email a document then the person receiving thedocument can open the file in many different apps. The processis close to seamless.The WebYou can put a file on a website and have people download it toan iPad. This is another often overlooked way to file share.Many teachers put different files on the web so students canuse them. For some people this might be the best way to filesshare.It should be noted that when you view a file from the internetthat does not mean you can transfer to an app. If you want touse a document in an app you should Dropbox or another filetransfer app/website.37

Dropbox Best of ClassDropbox is the most commonly used file-sharing servicearound. Dropbox does have free accounts and paid accounts ifyou need more storage. If you are doing file sharing this app isa must because it links with so many other apps.Website: https://www.dropbox.comApp:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/dropbox/id327630330?mt=8Dropbox Videos:http://plpnetwork.com/2012/08/10/dropbox-a-superb-classroom-tool/Using drop box in the classroom.http://www.quickonlinetips.com/archives/2011/05/best-dropbox-wordpress-plugins/Best plugins for dropbox.http://www.livebinders.com/play/present?id=139679Great webpage about how to use Dropboxhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qeqw5OroHzYLink to DropboxOne of the issues I am seeing is linking to Dropbox. If you buya number of apps many of them link to Dropbox. Often timesyou have to go into the settings on one of your new apps andlink it to Dropbox. Once you link it then it is no big deal. But ifyou do not know to do this then it will not work.GDrive or Google DriveHonorable MentionBoth connect to your Google Document accounts.

SECTION 3File FormatsCalibre converts PDFs to e-reader formats. MS Word 2010can convert Word documents to PDFs. There are many programsthat you can get to convert a word processioning documentto a PDF. You can save the file to text but text documentsare not fun to read. You can also use RTF or Rich TextFormat. This is another universal format that most word processorswill save to.The idea with using Calibre is that you can convert all yourword processing documents into e-reader formats and read onthe iPad or other tablets.Calibrehttp://calibre-ebook.com/Calibre is a free program for both the Mac and PC. It is not aprogram for the iPad. Calibre can convert PDF and text files tovarious e-reader formats. The most common e-reader formatis EPUB. EPUB works on both the Nook and iBooks. Kindle isin MOBI format. Calibre can convert to that format as well. Itcan also converts to other e-reader formats that most of ushave never heard of. Calibre creates a library of e-readerbooks that you download. You can add the books to this libraryand then convert the books to different formats. You canread the same book in different formats on different e-readers.You can also scan in documents and use them on the iPad inan e-reader program. Many schools have copiers that work asscanners. You can buy a scanner for not a lot of money. Somescanners are attached to printers you buy. You can buy scannerapps for your iPad that can also convert to PDFs. A numberof scanner apps are listed in this book.They even have a wand scanner that allows you to scan individualdocuments on the fly in a classroom. They cost about 100bucks. However, you can buy some wand scanners for less.To Buy:Shopzillahttp://www.shopzilla.com/Wand+scanners/searchGooglehttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=shop&q=wand+scanners&oq=wand+scanners&gs_l=products-cc.3...3079.5350.0.5470.13.8.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0...0.0...1ac.1.46

Just aboutany document can be put on an iPad and then converted to e-reader format. The process is simple enough that it can bemade close to seamless for your average computer user.The other advantage to Calibre is that you can convert bookspurchased from one format to another format. Most of the oldclassics are copyright free. Everything that was made beforethe modern set of copyrights laws is public domain. You candownload the classics and convert it to the format that isneeded. Most of the major e-book sellers have figured this outand offer the classics for free already. However, if you want abook they don't have that is copyright free book then go onlinefind a copy and convert to whatever format you need. If youwant to publish your own book then you can type somethingand convert to e-book format. You can sell to whoever youlike. Universities are catching onto this idea and allowing studentsto publish themselves. You can also download a numberof book apps that give away copyright free books. Some arelisted in this app guide.Note: When you buy an ebook from one of the major sellersyou cannot download, transfer and convert the file. This isdone to prevent you from over sharing.If a book is so old that it is copyright free you can find copiesonline. If you find a PDF of the desired book then you canshare and open it on an iPad. If it is in text format just cut andpaste it into MS Word or Open Office and save as a PDF. APDF can be viewed on an iPad. A PDF can quickly be convertedto any number of e-reader formats with Calibre, a freeprogram. The Nook, Kindle and iBooks will read a PDF.47

SECTION 3Web Based Word ProcessingTwo issues that you have to deal with when using an iPad aretransferring files and finding a good word processing program.With a PC or a Macintosh you just open a file. With aniPad you have to use Dropbox or another app to transfer files.Even the paid word processing apps don’t have many standardfeatures. Most don’t even have spell check.The best thing to solve this problem is use a web-based wordprocessing program. Right now there are two that I like. Skydriveand Google Documents are the two chooses that aregood for schools. Both allow you to transfer files and do wordprocessing. Both allow spreadsheets and presentations to becreated. Skydrive is from Microsoft and is compatible with MicrosoftOffice. If your school gives out email accounts to studentsyou can link the email address to Skydrive when youopen a free account.Google Mail or Gmail has Google Drive and Google Documentsattached to it. Google Dive is a storage transfer serviceand can be used to transfer documents to an iPad. GoogleDocuments is a free web based service. You can convert a GoogleDocument to Microsoft Office formats. The problemcomes into place when someone transfers a Google Documentto you. In order to view it you must have a Gmail account toopen it. It is best to ask the person emailing the document toconvert it first to Microsoft Office format before sending. Ifyou are a Google School this in not an issue. If you are not aGoogle School I recommend having students send the documentto your school email and then you can forward it to yourprivate email account. This way you are not communicatingwith a student off the grid with two private email accounts.Most of the time you will get away with this but I suggest youconsider how it might look. We live in a world where sometimespeople get in trouble when they have done little or nothingwrong.I recommend that you try both web based services. Youshould look at both to see the differences. The apps and servicesare free. The apps and web based services have differentfeatures. I recommend that you use the web based services.However, it is a good idea to test out both the app and webservice.201

CHAPTER 13Notes andOrganization

SECTION 1Chapter IntroductionINTERACTIVE 13.1Notes and Organizationto study for a test. Some of themore innovative teachers are gettingstudents to use cell phones asbring your own device and useflashcard apps within the classroom.This chapter has a number of notes, organization, calendar,outline, flashcards, time management, recorded notes, decisionmaking, memory and homework apps. There are a numberof list apps and task apps to pick from. They are apps thatare designed to take down your homework.In this category are calendar apps to help you keep track of appointments.Many of these apps can be synced with GoogleCalendars, SkyDrive or Microsoft Exchange accounts. Myemail at work is an Exchange account and is synced with thefree calendar app that comes with the iPad. I also get my listof tasks on my iPhone and iPad. Many of these apps in thiscategory are free.Imagine a world where a student could share his or her homeworkwith Mom and Dad. An entire class could share their calendarswith a teacher and the teacher could know if theywrote down his or her homework. This is something that iswithin reach.A number of good outline apphave emerged recently and aregood choices to start a writing activity with. A student cantake notes on an iPad then fill in a calendar with due dates.Next, study the vocabulary with flashcard apps. The best partof all is that a student can share this information to his or herphone or parents phone. Many of these apps have correspondingwebsites that means you can use the websites on a computerif you do’t have a mobile device. The possibilities areendless. Welcome to the 21st century of teachingA common problem I face as an assistive technology specialistis people with deficits in executive function.

SECTION 6SLP AssessmentThe evolution of iPads has not happened evenly. For severalreasons the area of speech and language has seem many appsdevelop. With the number of apps and the speed of thischange it is possible to go to two different speech and languagepathologist and two very different approaches. A hightechnologySLP could use any number of apps with an iPadthat the traditional SLP could not. Both approaches are soundand good ways of working with peoples with various issues.SLP, educational or psychological tests have been scored on acomputers for many years. However, on the iPad the only testingthat I can find are for speech and language.A SLP could take a laptop with them to do an assessment. Laptopsor notebooks are big and a larger distraction. Doing anassessment on an iPad is less intrusive. There is a human factorwith using an iPad to do an assessment that cannot bequantified or explained with functionality.Smarty Ears AppsThis company has a number of apps with speech and languagein mind. Many of the apps have good ratings but are one ofmany apps in a highly competitive category. They have a numberof app that are good for assessment.

CHAPTER 16PhysicalDisability

SECTION 1Assistive Technology forthe PCIntroductionThis section is about assistive technology. Using an iPad andapps for people with disabilities is assistive technology. Usingan iPad as assistive technology is a lot newer then one wouldthink.This section is about other tools that I like to use as assistivetechnology. In this section I recommend a number of PC programs.You can often get free training on how to use PC assistivetechnology software. Often times the website of the companythat sells the software program will also have free webinarsand training videos. Assistive technology for PC is wellestablished. The programs tend to cost more but finding videosexplaining how to utilize these programs are easier to find.Loading Software on a Portable hard Drive or FlashDriveOne of the issues that we face when buying a PC assistive technologyprogram is that it gets loaded on one computer and sitsin one classroom. The solution form many is a laptop. Thenyou have to plug it in and laptops cost good money. Studentsoften don’t want to stand out.The solution is a flash drive or a portable hard drive. You canload an assistive technology program on a flash drive or a portablehard dive. I would recommend testing the trial version ona portable drive first. I would also recommend making sureyou have enough memory on the drive first. Also, if the computerthat you use the portable drive on is slow then the problemwill be just as bad with a portable drive. You still need acomputer fast enough to use the program. However, the portabilitysolves a lot of problems. Now, you can take the programanywhere and use it. The issues with the flash drive isthat they are easy to lose. I say jokingly that you want to tie abrick to it. If you can attach something to make it hard to losethat is a plus. A portable hard drive can go for as low as 60 dollarsand is larger and harder to lose. I cannot guarantee thatyou can use the all program on all portable hard drives. It theoryit should work a high percentage of time. Some assistivetechnology software makers will actually sell you the programon a portable hard drive. It is much cheeper if you load it yourself.313

CHAPTER 19SocialMediaandOtherApps

The Social Media and Other category was developed for appsthat are not an educational apps and/or do not fit in a logicalcategory. Many of these apps do not have an obvious use ofeducational value. However, a creative person could figure outa productive way to use these apps for an educational outcome.I think some of these apps can be used for educationand some will have a use at some point in the future. I stillthink we are learning the best way to use many of these apps.371

SECTION 4Texting/Phone/Mail/VideoappsTexting/Phone/Video appsI am not suggesting that you start texting, video phoning, andInternet phoning your students. My wife and I have talkedabout allowing our son to text us from his iPad. We do notwant him texting the rest of the world. Maybe at some pointthat might mean a video-phone or a phone app to save on minutes.The world has changed and people are connected to a devicemost of the time. I can text my son when he uses his iPad.I think this is the future.I also think that this technology can be used for teachers totalk to each other. Think about it if you call the office every studentknows what you did. Students can text across the buildingand share information. Why can’t teachers do the samething in select circumstances? In the case of an emergency textingis faster, discrete and more direct. If you want to contactthe main office, nurse or guidance why not text message them.I email my son’s teacher with my iPhone in front of him. Shecan know in real time that he is or is not doing his homework.I use it sparingly but my son knows I can contact his teacherat anytime and that accountability is effective. I have alsoemailed pictures of him doing his work just because I can.At some point texting might make sense for everyone in education.I guess the first teachers to use phones felt funny notwriting notes and pinning them to book-bags. I am going tothank the first teacher that texts me that my son did not do hishomework by getting him to do it.We should look at creative ways to use this new technology. Iam not sure how this fits into education but at some point thiswill be useful. Right now teachers use this technology to talkto people across the globe for an educational outcome. I believethis technology can be used for students to talk to parents.377

CHAPTER 20Bring YourOwn Device

SECTION 1Bring Your Own DeviceThere is a cross over with bring your own device and iPads.Not every class has a dedicated set of iPads. Many people areintroduced to how the iPad works by learning how to use aniPhone. There is a crossover between iPads and iPhones.Many of the same apps can be used on both devices. With theexplosion of technology and speed that it changes schools areturning to BYOD or bring your own device. Some studentsbring in iPads and some laptops. Most students bring in smartphones. The phones are split between Android and iPads.Many of the same apps that are on iPhones are on Androids.In some cases you cannot find the same apps on both devices.If you use similar apps then you can complete the same taskwith students that do not have the same smart phone or app.Many times apps also have websites that can be used acrossall platforms. Examples of this are Dropbox, Socrative andQuizlet. The purpose of this chapter is how to use knowledgeof apps to create a BYOD classroom.What do I need to get started with BYOD?The first thing you need to do is have a bringing your own devicepolicy. Most schools already have one. You need to checkwith the leadership in your district and building to make sureyou are complying with the written policy. All schools havepolicies about using the internet. It is best to re-read the writtenpolicy before starting. Sometimes there is fine print thatyou want to make sure you understand completely. Mostschools already have a BYOD or bring your own device policy.You should read it before starting. Also, you want to read theschool’s policy for using a computer and the Internet. Allschools have a policy and go over it with students.The second thing you need is classroom rules about when andhow people will use BYOD. You have to decide what tasks youwill allow BYOD and what tasks you will not. We have all beentaught that cell phones are distractions. So now looking atsmart phones as a learning tool is a big change for many teachers.It is a good idea to have clear rules and in some cases timelimits.385

What do I do to prepare my class for BYOD?Ask your students how many students have smart phones.Then discuss the school’s various policies regarding what youplan on starting. Explain your classroom rules regardingBYOD. Finally, look to see what other devices you can use inyour classroom for students that do not have a device. Anycomputers you have in your classroom would help. If you canbarrow some devices from somewhere else in your school thatcan help fill the gap.There is also another option. You can buy seven inch androidtablets for relativity modest prices in some cases. You can buysome seven inch Android tablets for less then fifty dollars. Tobuy seven inch tablets that are established you have to payaround seventy-five dollars. What I mean by established isthat you can buy the same tablets at some point later on. Theless expensive tablets are sometimes on clearance and won’tbe around.For more information on BYOD please read the BYOD policyfor the school I work at:http://chelmstech.net/?page_id=79The best activities to do BYOD with:1) QuizletQuizlet .com is a free flashcard website that anyone can use.Quizlet does make some good apps. However, it is web-basedand you never need to download any of the apps. The advantagefor it being web based is that you can use it on any devicethat gets the internet. You enter the information into the flashcardwebsite once. Quizlet turns your flashcards into six differentquizzes and games. There are a number of other flashcardwebsites and apps out there. Quizlet is the highest rated of theflashcard apps or websites that I have researched.With Quizlet you can create and share flashcards. Quizletclaims to have sets of pre-made flashcards in the millions. Thewebsite is free. If you want to add pictures to your flashcardsthen the annual fee is fifteen dollars. Quizlet.com even supportsdifferent languages. You can create flashcards in Frenchon one side and Spanish on the other. The website reads theflashcards to you and pronounces the different languages correctly.Website:http://quizlet.com/iPad App:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/quizlet/id546473125Android App:386

The teacher asks a question and the student answersthe question. It is sometimes called a student response systemor clickers. Socrative allows you to ask multiple choice questionsor short answers. The website even grades tests that youcreate and have your students take. Socrative is a free website.Socrative is a very popular app for the iPad and Android.Since Socrative is web based you can use it across platforms.This makes Socrative a great app for bring your own device.Website: http://www.socrative.com/3) File sharingFile sharing with a service like Dropbox is a good way to usebring your own device within your classroom. It should benoted that there are several other services that can do thesame thing. Dropbox, Google Drive and SkyDrive all haveapps for both Android and the iPad. All three are web basedand can be used without an app. All three services work acrossplatforms.DropBoxDropbox is a web-based file storage and file sharing service.The service is free. If you want or need more storage space you387

can pay for it. Dropbox is a popular way to share files with theiPad. Dropbox is a very good way to use bring your own device.You can transfer PDFs instead of handing out papers.This gives you the opportunity to go paperless.Why might you want to this? There are several reasons. Thefirst is that it is faster than handing out papers. It is muchharder to lose an electronic files then a piece of paper. Once astudent saves a file from Dropbox on his or her cell phonethey have it wherever they go. You do not have to go to yourbook-bag to find out about an assignment. They always havetheir materials to study. This can create opportunities to studyand learn. Also, if you want to have students read somethingon an electronic device you need a way to transfer the files.https://www.dropbox.com/If you want alternatives to Dropbox there are several.SkyDrive is Microsoft’s version of Google Documents or GoogleDrive. The documents on SkyDrive are compatible with MicrosoftOffice documents. This is a free service.SkyDrive:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/skydrive/downloadIf your students use Google Mail or Gmail then Google Driveis a good option for you. You can store and share documentswith Google Drive.Google Documents: docs.google.com4) Writing down your homework and taking notes.To start bring your own device often times it is best to startwith something simple. A good way to start bring your own deviceis to have students write down his or her homework. Anothergood way to enhance bring your own device is have studentstake notes using a smart-phone or other device. You canstart with students writing down due dates or essential piecesof information.

Mostpeople that own smart-phones carry them everywhere. Someteachers are reluctant to allow cell-phones use within a classroom.The first time you use a cell phone it is best to do so in acontrolled environment if you have reservations about usingsmart phones. If you have students write down his or herhomework during the last five minutes of class this is a less intrusiveway to test out bring your own device.5) A great way to use bring your own device is have studentsread books or other documents with a smart-phone,iPad, tablet or a laptop.Here are several book apps that are for both the iPadand Android:The Nook, Kindle, Wattpad, and Kobo are apps that work onboth platforms.390

Todaythey read every format from various sources but tomorrowthey might only allow certain books from certain sources. Youmight not need an account or sign in today but in the futureyou might need to open an account to read books in universalformats like PDF or EPUB. Also, there is also a risk that someof the generic e-readers are not being supported forever. It isalways best to have several options.There is nothing wrong with a student reading on a smartphone.If you hand out a sheet with important due dates or directionabout a project it is much less likely to be lost if it is ona student’s smart-phone. Teachers often hand out extra copiesof worksheets and that is only for students with the courage toask. Going paperless or using less paper saves many trips tothe copy room as well.Paid 3.49https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobisystems.ubreader.key&hl=en393

CHAPTER 21Android Apps

SECTION 1Popular Android Appsapps between the two devices. My strategy is doing whateverworks for a specific situation. What I am finding is that manyof the other tablets out there are catching up. If the price isright then you might want to consider an Android tablet.Popular iPad apps are available on the Android tablet:Socrative StudentI often get asked to recommend similar apps for the Android.First of all I am not loyal to any app or device I am loyal to empoweringpeople to learn. Many times a parent has an Androidphone and it is cost effective to buy the one or two appsfor his or her child for the Android phone. Also, if you onlywant the device for one app or one specific purpose sometimesit is more cost effective to buy a less expensive Androidtablet. With the growing need for bring your own device findingalternative apps for the Android is becoming more importantby the day. The listing of Android apps is not a change instrategy or slight to the iPad. I see listing important equivalentapps for the Android as a way to fulfill several needs andhelp people access curriculum and create opportunities tolearn. One of my fundamental core beliefs is that everyoneshould have an opportunity to learn and a right to a free appropriateeducation. Unlike traditional books that are not updatedthis book is a constant evolving work in progress. Androidhas less apps then the iPad.

SECTION 2Websites to use on a TabletThere are many websites that you can use to create a projecton. More and more websites are being configured to work on amobile device like an iPad. It is going to become standard usingwebsites on an iPad or tablet. Many education websites eithercan be used on a tablet or will be in the future. It is a goodidea to use many different educational websites with a tabletas part of an educational strategy to teach students.Many of the apps within the guide also have websites that do thesame thing. If this is the case then you can use the websites on aPC or a Macintosh computer. Some websites need Flash. If that isthe case then you can use Photon an app for the iPad that usesFlash.PhotonHonorable MentionPhoton is a browser that uses Flash. It is a iPad browser that cost4.99. The browser is fast and acts like a PC browser.4.99https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-video-player/id430200224?mt=8200 Free Kids Educational Resources: Video Lessons, Apps,Books, Websites & Morehttp://www.openculture.com/free_k-12_educational_resources21stcenturyschoolteacher.comIf you are looking for online projects to impress people andyou want something no has heard about in your school thengo to 21stcenturyschoolteachers.com.http://www.21stcenturyschoolteacher.com/cool-websites.htmlVideo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQV2wWIweo0452

EducreationsEducreations makes an app of the same name. I used to wonderwhy so many people know about the app because there areseveral similar free apps available. If you look at the websiteyou will see teachers that made amazing videos with the websiteand/or app. If you draw with Educreations on the internetor the app you can post your lessons on the internet. The appand website allows you record your voice with the picture beingwhatever you put on a whiteboard. You can import picturesand annotate diagrams. If you use a PC then you shouldbuy a decent microphone. If you use your iPad then you areset. This is an easy productive way to flip a classroom.http://www.educreations.com/i4class.comThis website is designed for a classroom that is on a tablet orcomputer on a regular basis. I4class.com is geared towardsmath. The website has pre-loaded curriculum linked to standards.The websites gives immediate feedback to both theteacher and student. Students can write on the webpage on ablank page or a grid. The interface is simple compared tomany programs. The company is a small start-up. You wouldhave to negotiate a good price to make it feasible for some.The product itself is worth a look. It too early to be sure but Ilike the interface and the general concept. I think this is wortha try.http://web.i4class.com/Youtube channel:http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd29C8FvEKZx0E7btF1Xskw453
