The document discusses the potential roles of iPads and mobile apps in technology-enhanced classroom instruction. It examines how iPads can inspire creativity and hands-on learning through multimodal learning and collaboration. Several apps like Dropbox, Noterize and Sounds are highlighted for their pedagogical value in reading, annotating, note-taking, audio notes and cloud sharing. However, challenges also exist around student and faculty training, app management, and the limitations of platforms like Blackboard. Early findings suggest examining the pedagogical soundness of apps and addressing issues of app and mobile carrier compatibility.

- The iPad combines a portable media player, personal digital assistant, and Wi-Fi mobile platform. It has the potential to enhance learning as follows: \n1) its multi-touch graphical user interface requires greater interaction by the user, therefore, learners may have a greater interaction with content accessible by applications; \n2) it merges personalization with accessibility. Students can download various applications that meet their learning needs/preferences and continue their learning in any environment where a wireless network is available; and \n3) it facilitates student engagement in both social and participatory learning via social networking sites, and via text, audio and video capabilities.\n\nReplacement & transformation : The simplest and most known example of this is to replace a paper textbook by the same textbook in PDF/eBook form on for example an iPad. replace pen&notebook with note taking apps. How is our teaching transformed when these replacements occur? How does student learning change with these replacements?\nE-learning: -delivery of courses; -on-line assessment; -student to student and student to teacher communications; -use of Internet resource; -other learning activities involving ICT and the Internet\n\nMultimodal modes of learning: “Adding an image to a sound and text presentation can be of noteworthy assistance to learners, but only under certain conditions, ... “adding another medium does not turn out to be more productive if the added information is ineffective in facilitating in-depth processing of the information”\n\nCollaborative - physical sharing of the tool during class time; access to the information and data beyond the contact hours\n\n

- I invite students to dropbox and share a course folder with them.\nWith every student who downloads dropbox to his/her computer, I get 250MB bonus. The free account allows for 2GB, now, with students who enjoy using dropbox, I have 5.5GB. Lots of space for us to share \n\nCloud computing is valued for its capacity to enable collaboration over the Internet, and for its flexibility in handling the complex computing demands inherent in the IT work of schools. The only caveat is that internet access is required. Data is still stored on the iPad, so nothing is lost if there is no internet access available, but the dangers of single point of failure exists.\n\n\n
- In addition to providing many tools for taking notes, Noterize allows users to import PDFs and PowerPoint files for annotation. Documents can be annotated with typed text, sticky note formatted text boxes,  as well as freehand pen and highlighting. Notes may be many pages in length and reordering of pages or insertion of PDF files is easy. \n\n

- Again, not a native iPad app...using apps that are not designed for the device is truly limited its possibilities.\n\nThe user-interface of the iPhone, just doubled creates a view or update only post, where it has the potential to be so much more\n
- Skype scenario with iPhone app one iPad...colleague’s issues with landscape vs potrait and inconsistent audio and video feed.\n
- iPads are intuitive and easy to use...\n\n-student reaction --> typing, searching youtube videos, easier to use a laptop/computer (this semester, in our new building, in a translation lab, students prefer traditional computers to iPad)\n-faculty --> adapting tasks to apps; we have the solid methodological preparation/experience now we need to adapt our best pratices to a new mode of delivery\n- Michael Heller, past vice president of NEALLT, deals with all the management issues; pre-loading apps, pushing out updates to apps and operating system \n- No italian apps used here...italian language options for some apps; apps for language are limited; text based and based on translation (for the most part)\n
