On Tuesday, I worked with teachers at BES on learning about the iOS devices just delivered to their schools. We looked at the ebook I published here on my blog, explored some apps, and I answered questions for teachers
Then it was on to GMS to check-in with Bea, leading a session on using Activotes with our middle school teachers. Ms. Parker from GHS joined the group. Votes have already gone out to participants to begin using these response devices in the classroom in conjunction with online activities and with Promethean flip charts.

I hope the videos posted earlier today are valued by folks for getting a feel for Comic Life and Keynote. I plan to do more.
I used a Lumens-brand document camera with the lights off, and recorded the videos without editing. Using the queue software from Lumens, it used the Mac’s built-in microphone for audio. For using some tools we already own, I thought they turned out pretty well.

Keynote can be used to present Keynote presentations without a laptop: add a video dongle to an iPad, and you can present to an audience.
But did you know you can use the Keynote app to create decks of slides without a computer? Watch the video below and John shows you how!

I’ve put together two different versions of a short electronic book about iOS Devices. It will be of interest to our teachers because it contains a list of the apps we’ve installed on our iPod Touch and iPad devices for students.
The ebook was created with software we already own—Pages ’09.

Mr. John Dacey was our first teacher to try iPads in the classroom this year at GHS. Mrs. Cantor and Mrs. Cooley helped me with this video to communicate the cart’s availability.
Folks might be wondering which apps are installed?
They are running iOS 4.35.
Next out of the door will be iPads for GES, BES, and RES.
