Use Explain Everything to create an
animation of what you have learned
so far today. Include:
• Screenshots
• Video recorded earlier today
• A web search
• … your own ideas
27. Collaborate
• Great opportunity to collaborate as you will all
have access to the same options
• Many collaboration apps and services have
iPad-specific applications:
– Adobe Connect (writing whilst videoconferencing)
– Google Docs/Drive (writing)
– BaiBoardHD (whiteboard ideas-generating)
Collaborate
29. Collaborate Activities
• How would you go about evaluating the use of
apps, or issues to identify, when using for
teaching, research or administrative activities?
• What potential and idea do you have in using
the iPad for your and student's work?
Moving forward…
30. Collaborate Activities
Join the BaiBoardHD session and think about your
planned use of iPads.
1. How do you think you might use iPad in your
teaching?
2. What would you like to evaluate? How might
you do it?
Activity
31. Collaborate Activities
• Lots of possibilities. Can be overwhelming.
• Focus on what you want to achieve. Then find
apps / use.
• iPad seems to encourage interaction rather than
passive situations.
• Can enhance or transform activity
• Some apps are counterparts/companions to web-
based services.
• A great opportunity for staff and students.
Conclusion
Editor's Notes
Intros. Asked to do this session by Kate Hardy to introduce some of the pedagogical uses of iPads. Teaching jointly with James.
Not really why iPads but possibilities afforded by being able to have access to mobile computers.
Potential to change how, where and when students learn and how, where and when we teach.
Also, common experience
Apps provide specific tools for specific task
Increased opportunity for interaction with non-uni staff
Imagine being able to give your students all of these tools and more to carry around with them everywhere and always available in the teaching room. What might you do differently?
Given enormous toolbox it is worth stopping and thinking about what you are hoping to achieve with it. SAMR model is useful in helping us think about this.
SAMR = Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition
offers a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows a progression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology. As one moves along the continuum, computer technology becomes more important in the classroom but at the same time becomes more invisibly woven into the demands of good teaching and learning
e.g. substitution – wordprocess report, print and hand in
Augmentation – wordpress report, use spell checker, smart art etc and email electronically
Modification – collaborate with experts across the world on report
Redefinition – collaborate with experts across the world on report, blog about report, receive feedback, others repeat same work and contribute to bigger results – contributing to and collaborating with a much wider community that the leeds uni one
Structure of rest of session – all of these overlap too / apply to each other.
In pairs (where possible) film each other’s responses to the questions:
What area of your teaching or students’ learning would you like to improve?
Do you want to change your practice and /or that of your students?
Intro: iPad has storage on an app basis. Saves can be savedin Explain Everythjing or Socrateive or wider. Can also connect to wider services such as Dropbox/GoogleDrive and iCloud.
Demo of opening a document stored on DropBox (created as an ebook from Wikipedia – or ws this ebookss demo?) - annotating a file using iAnnotatePDF – then saving back in DropBox.
Option to share and save in different ways.
Demo of using iBooks in the same way – but this time to use as a way of referencing and making notes as a way of building copies.
DEMO is working with me through activates rather than doing it all on their own. Need to invite to DropBox folder at the time
Also highlight:
Why:
Students can use this to work on documents that you send them – or vice-versa!
Demo of this.
An iPad gives us access to most of the content we could access on a PC via google and subject specific search engines. Has the disadvantage that not all web pages render well and can’t access FLASH content (web designers are adapting).
FIND
Has advantage of being able to access content any place and time and quickly (how many of you have used iPad to google some info on TV for e.g?). Changing the way we engage with knowledge – I wonder if… back up memory
Additionally can use bespoke apps to find content and combine with other tools – e.g. do a quick calculation or translation.
e.g. holiday – Google earth and maps, and Traintimes – on holiday currency conversion, watch the train travel. Will be discipline specific apps that can help your students piece together information to tell a story e.g. stock exchange, Wolfram alpha (describe)
Data collection – researchers using social media crowd sourcing via Twitter (not specifically iPad), survey apps (or use web site – check mobile friendly), bespoke apps for certain disciplines – possible to be out on location, record experimental data, take photos, geo tag etc
Given that iPad can do all this with speed we can invite students to find and work with content in a lecture or seminar
FEEDS
Specific apps e.g. from newspapers, apps that read feeds e.g. Flipboard (demo) bbc n channel behind them is journalists sourcing news rss makes process visible
Kelly Preece example This would be great. Here’s a link to my wall on the dance piece ‘Trio A’, which was used as part of a specific preparation task http://padlet.com/wall/c0x9s80867 and on the choreographer Merce Cunningham
Next year plans to get her students to create
Demo storify. Have everyone copying
NearPod Overview
Note that for NearPod and Socrative demos they are getting the student experience on their device but also seeing the teacher experience from my iPad. Also that some apps are a service so can be accesed/run from PC as well.
Demo of both instructor and student views…
Setup instructions…. Student Experience of signing in
Overview as presentation device.
Can swipe and keep in sync (no skipping ahead) – alternative to projecting.
Can display real live web content but then control over length of time looking
Quizes

Demo of both instructor and student views…
All class activities:
Rather than presenting info get them to look at it in class
Can pay attention to detail, move content around, follow links
Compare different sources discussing same content
Set individual and small group tasks using apps – calculations, wolframa
Consider flipping your classroom
Activity:
e-voting - Socrative
Socrative Overview
Single questions
Quiz-based activities – can be pre-built
Join a room / in-class
Demo LUBS Quiz Created in Socrative
Reference to tool box – Write, draw, photograph, video, record activities host of video and audio editing tools
Recording notes – text, audio or video.
Evernote – does it all..(demo, take picture, document camera, add recording, write notes, tagging, reminder) – is there scope here for preparing handouts for students or in asking students to prepare a multimedia document.
Demo soundnote (record your own notes, students use to record their own). Many audio recorder apps, some with editing features. I’ve used in car, we use in meetings, I’ve used for oral assessment. Record a summary of a seminar and share it – podcasting.
Audioboo – student use? Student interviews, reflective diaries?
Range of tools allow us to create multimedia presentation (demo Skitch – works nicely with Evernote and Explain everything)
Explain everything demo
Do a calculation
Import and annotate
Import PowerPoint slides
Import video
Demo to join a board and comment – questions setup.
BaiBoardHD is a whiteboard-style collaboration app that enables real-time collaboration.
Can be used within one or multiple locations
Secure or open setting
Great for small group work / task based activity
Lots of possibilities, can be overwhelming, but it's about making and finding methods that work for you and the purpose you wish to achieve. Similar to what can I do with my desktop/laptop computer but...
You and students all have the same device.
Apps are much more focused on a purpose, often simpler but more effective. A standard set of information /hardware. Do have limitations.
Play and experiment with what is possible. It may seem easy to stick to known uses (link to augmentation model of samr) but this device /ecosystem is only 3-4 years old... What can be transformative about this.... To be discovered.
A great opportunity to do this... As a school.
