will go over all the basic features and so much more, such as: calendars, universal access features, great basic apps, organization, camera, email, the iTunes store, and downloading apps. This is a beginning level class.

We will use the iPod Touch to learn to record voice memos.  The voice memos will be used for assessments, class projects, lessons, and more.  We will use iTunes to work on some of our projects.  If you have a short poem or book that you want to record bring that as well.  We will also be making a small portable homemade recording studio for use in the classroom. Bring your iPod, laptop, connector if available.  We’ll have some to use if needed.

Looking to bring iPads into your classroom, site, or district? We will go over the basic deployment processes and discuss strategies for a successful integration. From configuration of multiple  devices to great apps for your class, we will help you make the transition to hand-held devices. Learn about the Apple Voucher program, Apple Utility Configurator, and how to manage multiple devices at a site. This is an intermediate level class.

De-mystify the integration of iOS devices (such as the iPad  and iPhone) into the K-12 classroom environment through this interactive workshop. Content is geared to those who have used these devices and would classify themselves basic to intermediate users. The content will review iOS device features, deploying iPads for instructional use, tips for gathering and managing student data, collaboration techniques to enhance student performance, basic troubleshooting tips and exposure to applications that facilitate instructional best practice. The session is structured to allow participants to move beyond being users of iOS devices and begin integrating this technology into their instructional setting in order to increase efficiency of instruction and student achievement. While not required, participants are encouraged to bring an iPad.
