iPads for Administrators June 28, 2012 ~ All day Workshop Fee: $165 registration fee In this Introduction to iPads for administrators, we will cover everything from syncing calendars, email, tasks and managing documents between your device and a computer. Discussion of multitasking, managing your apps, cloud storage solutions, and the best apps for word processing and presen-tation creation. How to remote wipe your device and keep things safe will also be covered. Trouble shoot like a pro by the time you leave. Together we will also explore the video and photo capabilities of the device and how you might make use of these to promote the great work being done in your school. Using Keynote, we will create a presentation, import-ing images from other applications on your iPad, add im-ages you’ve taken, and explore sharing to the cloud. We will discuss presenting using your iPad with an Apple TV or VGA adaptor as well. A theme that we will constantly consider will be how to best lead iOS integration in your building and district. What issues do you need to consider as a curriculum leader and what do you leave to the technology team. How do you move your staff from substitution to redefinition by sharing examples of creation with iOS tools as well as when skill acquisition is the job of the day. We will discuss what the iPad brings to your classrooms that enhances 21st century skill development. Bring your iPad, iPad2, or iPadHD along with the iTunes account password so you can add apps during the training. You will need the AppleID and password to access your existing account.

So, you have iPads in Class, now what! – Intermediate iPad Session August 13, 2012 ~ All day Workshop Fee: $165 registration fee Using iPads to create presentations, movies, facetime, gather information, manipulate images can be exciting. The devil is in the details, moving files on and off device, creating work-flows for student work, assessment and feedback. Working with free tools, we will explore solutions and share projects. You’ve been using iPads in class, or are getting a classroom set to use occasionally, what are you going to do beyond drill math facts? Together we’ll explore apps for creation, work flow for students without email accounts, strategies for getting more out of skill apps, and ways to increase student achieve-ment using the iPads. Digital storytelling happens at all levels. How can you use iMovie on the iPad2 to have students create and share stories? What work flow issues do you need to con-sider and what movie making techniques can you share to help tell a better story? Stories can be traditional movies, or screen casts of math-science problems. Skill Apps are great, and their success is connected to how you are arranging class processes around app use. We will have a discussion of best practices and explore examples from

people who are having success. Together we will learn from failures, be inspired by the success of others, and trouble-shoot our oops! We will talk about how we can shift more instruction to home, freeing up time in class to do more projects, work and labs. TED, iTunes U, and YouTube have created some tools and resources that will make us even more effective. Time will be set aside to find what materials are all ready created and ready for your immediate implementation. Bring your iPad, iPad2, or iPadHD along with the iTunes account password so you can add apps during the training. You will need the AppleID and password to access your existing account.
