I bought my reading ap from the i-tunes store- my first ap! Called "Fluency Finder," it promises to do what I need, but now I have to figure out how to work it. Here's the link if you're interested in this application for your classroom: http://www.fluencyfinder.com/ The description: Announcing FluencyFinder 2.0! The “everything app” for reading fluency assessments – including one-step reading comprehension and data-sharing email features! FluencyFinder is an indispensable reading assessment tool for teachers, parents, and ESL students. Here's the phone from the ad, but the image of the ap won't show up. Ah, something else to learn!

And by the way, I use Grammarly's grammar corrector because even English professors occasionally makes grammar errors.

Some Application Suggestions

While I try to finish a more elaborate case study, I wanted to share some iPad apps that I find to be extremely useful.

Write for iPad

Write for iPad is a handy note taking and composition program. Can use it pretty well writing CSS and HTML. On a Mac, there is desktop version of the app that updates with your iPad. Uses DropBox and iCloud syncing, among other amazing capabilities.

Instapaper

Instapaper is a great way to save and store web pages for reading later offline. It supports iPad and desktop OSs.

SyncSpace

SyncSpace is a great program for remote iPad collaboration. Two authors can work simultaneously via wifi. It depends on your connection speed, but I tried it with a friend who has a very slow connection and it worked pretty well. It's free for a limited version. Get a copy and give me a call if you want to try it out.

SlideRocket Player

From the web page:

"Show your stunning presentations on the iPad with the SlideRocket Player! Simply download a SlideRocket or Powerpoint presentation to show it anytime, anywhere, online or off. Share presentations across the table or across the globe. You can even invite someone to view your presentation from a simple link. Plus, built in analytics let you know when and where someone's viewed your presentation. All your presentations go with you wherever you go."

Design presentations in PowerPoint or online at sliderocket.com, which has handy composing, formatting and sharing options. Display them anywhere from your iPad.

Inspire Pro

If you have an artist in creating any kind of imagery on your iPad, Inspire Pro is amazing.

Used in conjunction with the Sensu brush stylus (https://www.sensubrush.com/) and experience the best digital painting experience without spending thousands on a Wacom tablet.

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/inspire-pro-paint-draw-sketch/id355460798?mt=8

I believe all of these have free versions or versions with limited capabilities.

Inspire pro is about 5 bucks. The Sensu brush is relatively expensive, depending on which one you choose, between 25 and 45 bucks. Well worth it if you want to REALLY experience digital painting.

This is just to check if my account is working. Will write later in detail.

Hi colleagues, I found the workshop on Friday very useful. I use I Annotate and is worth the money but wished that the College took initiative to get campus license for all!!? Also I will welcome if anyone has seen a stylus for drawing using the screen for hand writing engineering equations.
Happy IPading ( new word not yet in the dictionary)

Back on schedule

Hello .  I am just beginning to use some of the pictures I have taken to create some cases for my students,   It is really very time consuming to do so but it will be worth it.  

I have shown the students some videos that I took of the instrumentation in the laboratory and they really enjoyed seeing it in addition to discussing it.  


I attended the SLN workshop last Fri and learned of some apps that I will be exploring in the future.   Once I have had some time to explore them, I will share the ones I like.

I also have had some difficulty with updating and using some of the apps that came preloaded on the iPad.    I tried to download a free article to the iBooks but it asked for an apple password that was not mine.   There was no way to switch to my apple Id either.    Who do we contact to resolve this?

Upcoming Workshop Oct. 22nd

On October 22nd, I will deliver a presentation based on my experience at the Edtechteacher workshop—The Ipad Classroom that was held in July at Harvard University Law School.  The workshop will provide attendees with an overview of the potential rewards of utilizing Ipads in the classroom.

Farmingdale State College Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology: Wow

This semester I am not teaching the course CRJ230 Biometrics and Identity Theft I proposed to use the iPad for. However, I saw their some updates and wanted to install them. Unfortunately, there is an existing appleID in the iPad I do not have the password.

I created a new ID, but the existing one still pops up for the installation. Not sure exactly what to do.

What is the password for it (ID: ipadctlt15 or something like that)? Doe anyone have the password so I can do the updates?
Thanks.
