 * Presenters**:


 * Overview**: This isn't about apps as much as it is a discussion about workflow, productivity, and how the model for instruction differs when it's a single ipad in the room vs a cart full vs 1:1.


 * Apps mentioned today:**
 * Dropbox - for cloud storage.
 * You get 2 gb of free storage to start. It does require an email address.
 * Ask Carrie how she got those accounts set up for her primary students.
 * Lino - free collaborative cork board.
 * We're going to see a demo using the Debono's Six Thinking Hats theory. It's one way of jigsawing an article.
 * Here's a screencast (using educreations) showing how to set up Lino groups
 * Lino bookmarklet script (here's a video showing how this bookmarklet is made):
 * javascript:(function%7Bvar%20d=document,w=window,e=w.getSelection,k=d.getSelection,x=d.selection,s=(e?e:(k)?k:(x?x.createRange.text:0)),f='http://linoit.com/entry/bookmark',l=d.location,e=encodeURIComponent,p='?url='+e(d.URL)%20+'&title='+e(d.title)%20+'&selection='+e(s),u=f+p;l.href=u;%7D)
 * dotepub  - converts webpares into .epu (ibooks) format
 * Here is a quick video tutorial of how to make this bookmarklet.
 * This webpage really only exists to provide the code for the bookmarklet and to give you some sample text as a demo.
 * iBooks  - make sure you've updated to version 3.
 * Have students make and send notes to you in different colors to represent different ideas or different teams, etc. (Maybe DeBono's Six Thinking Hats idea?)
 * A quick video tutorial.
 * Diigo Web Highlighter - if you're serious about the students doing research.
 * Ask yourself, what do the students DO with the information they find when researching?
 * Works best in 1:1 situation.
 * Sign up at Diigo as a teacher to be able to create your student groups.
 * BTW - do you know these Google search tricks on the ipad?
 * **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: blue; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Book Creator for iPad **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">- $4.99, but worth it.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Create .epub formatted books that open in iBooks. (See Lisa Butler's PETE&C presentation - Tue, 2:15PM) to see a book she made)
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Easy enough for elementary students. Now it allows you to create live hyperlinks, too.
 * **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: blue; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">ExplainEverything **<span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">, <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: blue; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Educreations - screencasting apps ( Showme and screenchomp are others but no time to include. Comparison chart).
 * The most important consideration, IMHO, is how the videos can be shared.
 * Also, can you re-record a slide's audio?
 * Doceri - $15, but a must-have in every classroom, IMHO
 * EVERY teacher should have this app, if he/she has an ipad.
 * Check out these tutorial videos.
 * Create screencast videos, interact with a variety of whiteboards, and MUCH more.

 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">Create and share videos, too. Here's a video tutorial or sorts.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">BTW - here's a cheap document camera stand. It's the one I'm using, but I couldn't cut the slots in it. I also didn't glue mine together to make it easy to transport and easy to break down when it's not needed. I just put rubber bands across the top to keep the ipad from slipping down between the arms.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">I want my students to... - apps listed by purpose.
 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 1.5;">However, how are apps installed on your ipads?


 * <span style="background-color: #ffffff; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Questions to consider: **
 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Does it require an account?
 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">How can it be shared?
 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Can it be saved to the camera roll?
 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Does it have webdav support
 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">How does this work if we only have carts?


 * <span style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Miscellaneous **
 * Screencast tutorials - short tutorial videos. They may or may not meet your needs
 * This is the ipad strap that Jim is using today.
