Key Observations:
"If we teach today's students as we did yesterday's, we are robbing them of tomorrow."
John Dewey.
We are currently preparing students for
jobs that don’t yet exist...using technologies
that haven’t been invented...in order to
solve problems we don’t even know are problems
yet.
Richard Riley

Dealing with Documents
On the iPad
Where did they go?
Over the past 25 years we have gone from physical documents that resided in one place, to digital documents that could be duplicated
and sent effortlessly around the world to cloud documents that reside in one place but
can be accessed from around the world.
Cloud Storage
5 GB 2 GB 5 GB7 GB
DropBox: 50GB for $9.99/month ($99.99/year); 100GB for $19.99/
month ($199.99/year).
Google Drive: 25GB for $2.49/month; 100GB for $4.99/month; 200GB for $9.99/month; more options from
Google.
Demonstration
• Install DropBox on your main computer...then install on your mobile device (iPad)
• Place a file in DropBox on the computer. Open it on your Mobile Device. Attempt to edit it and save back to DropBox.
Classroom Application
• Quick and easy file transfer to and from students.
• Students need not email documents, just place in a folder shared with teacher
• Can be tricky with some programs so test it and go with what works.
Demonstration
• Teacher places a file in her DropBox Public folder and emails the link to her students (alternately makes a QR Code for the link)
• Students open it, edit it and send back using email OR directly to Teacher’s DropBox using AirDropper.
Demonstration
• Teacher gets students to create their own dropbox accounts. Then they share a folder with the teacher. This folder shows up in the teacher’s dropbox account. This is a direct connection between teacher and student (real time changes).

A Few More Things...
PublishingMoving files back and forth:
Dropbox: same account (simple) or unique for each device.iCloud: same account needed. Potentially confusing if too many on 1 accounteMail: works well for documents but not for multi-media projectsWifi connection (WebDav): requires someone to set up a computer to act as a server.
Publishing:Posterous.com - email your projects hereVimeo.comYouTube.comMany apps have their own publishing options. Some have nominal fees.
