Slides from my TABS-2012 workshop "Collaborative Classroom"

I gave a talk about iPads in Education. Here are the slides. Unfortunately, I cannot find any way for the slides to play the animations automatically. So, if it looks like the slideshow stopped, click anywhere within the slideshow window.

My paper on "Collaborative Classrooms with 1:1 iPads"

Collaborative Classrooms with 1:1 iPads

60 in 60: Inspiring Apps (and site) for teachers by Hansen and Birks

Very good presentation by Aaron Hansen and Ray Birks of Wenatchee School District from 10/2012.

Their presentation includes websites and iPad apps, for K-12. Here are some free ones that I thought especially useful for high school and that people may not have heard about.

Sites
PollEverywhere -- polls taken via phone, web and Twitter -- use it as a clicker response system
FlockDraw -- draw collaboratively -- on the same page at the same time

Scale of the Universe
Speak Pipe -- record a voice message and email it (up to 10 minutes)
Sound Cloud -- record audio files and share
Soundation -- site for creating music (aka free Garageband)

iPad apps
History: Maps of the World
3D Cell Simulations
Coaster Physics
Science 360
Woices -- geolocalized audioguides done by users around the world - record one or explore others'

There are a number of online ways to collaborate and it can be confusing to figure out how they differ. This is a quick summary on the subject. Examples of each of these will appear on the Ed+Tech page shortly.
