Hinweis der Redaktion
Intros. Asked to do this session by Kate Hardy to introduce some of the pedagogical uses of iPads. Teaching jointly with James.
Not really why iPads but possibilities afforded by being able to have access to mobile computers.
Potential to change how, where and when students learn and how, where and when we teach.
Also, common experience
Apps provide specific tools for specific task
Increased opportunity for interaction with non-uni staff
Imagine being able to give your students all of these tools and more to carry around with them everywhere and always available in the teaching room. What might you do differently?
Given enormous toolbox it is worth stopping and thinking about what you are hoping to achieve with it. SAMR model is useful in helping us think about this.
SAMR = Substitution Augmentation Modification Redefinition
offers a method of seeing how computer technology might impact teaching and learning. It also shows a progression that adopters of educational technology often follow as they progress through teaching and learning with technology. As one moves along the continuum, computer technology becomes more important in the classroom but at the same time becomes more invisibly woven into the demands of good teaching and learning
e.g. substitution – wordprocess report, print and hand in
Augmentation – wordpress report, use spell checker, smart art etc and email electronically
Modification – collaborate with experts across the world on report
Redefinition – collaborate with experts across the world on report, blog about report, receive feedback, others repeat same work and contribute to bigger results – contributing to and collaborating with a much wider community that the leeds uni one

UniLeeds – Provides timetabling and lots more information for students
Things demo and overview / projects.
Order of priority. Sync with calendar
Content can be shared easily between colleagues and students using DropBox and the VLE.
Dropbox Intergrated into upcoming MobileLearn application
Be aware of how students may want to consume content now they have access to this.
Could use Dropbox
Could use VLE / MobileLearn
See the University Cloud computing policy http://iss.leeds.ac.uk/downloads/cloud.pdf
Demo of opening and annotating a file in Dropbox and then GoodReader.
Open file in dropbox using opening..
Then annotate using GoodReader.
Why:
Students can use this to work on documents that you send them – or vice-versa!
Demo of Date/Times in E-mail leading to Calendar
An iPad gives us access to most of the content we could access on a PC via google and subject specific search engines. Has the disadvantage that not all web pages render well and can’t access FLASH content (web designers are adapting).
FIND
Has advantage of being able to access content any place and time and quickly (how many of you have used iPad to google some info on TV for e.g?). Changing the way we engage with knowledge – I wonder if… back up memory
Additionally can use bespoke apps to find content and combine with other tools – e.g. do a quick calculation or translation.
e.g. holiday – Google earth and maps, and Traintimes – on holiday currency conversion, watch the train travel. Will be discipline specific apps that can help your students piece together information to tell a story e.g. stock exchange, Wolfram alpha (describe)
Data collection – researchers using social media crowd sourcing via Twitter (not specifically iPad), survey apps (or use web site – check mobile friendly), bespoke apps for certain disciplines – possible to be out on location, record experimental data, take photos, geo tag etc
Given that iPad can do all this with speed we can invite students to find and work with content in a lecture or seminar

FEEDS
Specific apps e.g. from newspapers, apps that read feeds e.g. Flipboard (demo) bbc n channel behind them is journalists sourcing news rss makes process visible
Kelly Preece example This would be great. Here’s a link to my wall on the dance piece ‘Trio A’, which was used as part of a specific preparation task http://padlet.com/wall/c0x9s80867 and on the choreographer Merce Cunningham
Next year plans to get her students to create
Reference to tool box – Write, draw, photograph, video, record activities host of video and audio editing tools
Recording notes – text, audio or video.
Evernote – does it all..(demo, take picture, document camera, add recording, write notes, tagging, reminder) – is there scope here for preparing handouts for students or in asking students to prepare a multimedia document.
Demo soundnote (record your own notes, students use to record their own). Many audio recorder apps, some with editing features. I’ve used in car, we use in meetings, I’ve used for oral assessment. Record a summary of a seminar and share it – podcasting.
Audioboo – student use? Student interviews, reflective diaries?
Range of tools allow us to create multimedia presentation (demo Skitch – works nicely with Evernote and Explain everything)
How to connect iPad to computer
Airplay – allows students to share their work too.
All class activities:
Rather than presenting info get them to look at it in class
Can pay attention to detail, move content around, follow links
Compare different sources discussing same content
Set individual and small group tasks using apps – calculations, wolframa
Consider flipping your classroom
Activity:
e-voting - InteractHE
Substitution and Enhancement of Communication
iPads all come with a cameras (ex 1st gen), speaker and microphone. This means that they can be used to replace the activity of a text message, phonecall or videoconferencing on a computer.
Why not use existing devices? Of course you can, but the iPad enables you to access these options all in one device.
Communication can be enhanced
Video conferencing (Skype). Adobe Connect…
Twitter back chashnnel conference
Example…. Use Storify to search for an event or topic that you like and create a story.
Then share with others.
iMessage is tied to your Apple ID. You can add people by adding their AppleID, or if this associated with a phone number on an iPhone their mobile number.
iMessages:
Are encrypted and are free to send/receive.
Can be send to multiple people at once
Can include pictures
A conversation can be shared to other services, such as e-mail
(Demo: message between Jane and me)
More personal small group information.... Better for tutor support or close knit group work.
Me to call jane. Jane to call me
FaceTime is tied to your Apple ID. You can add people by adding their AppleID, or if this associated with a phone number on an iPhone their mobile number.
FaceTime calls:
Can be initiated via an iMessage conversation or through the FaceTime app.
Are encrypted and are free to send/receive.
Can be one-on-one or multiple people at once
(Demo ring Jane whilst out of the room to show the experience on iPads)
This starts linking from Communication to Collaborating in terms of notifying the Storyfy Contributors….
Twitter and Storify are also available on the web and other devices.
Demo covers:
Twitter App on iPad tweeting at a conference
Collating the experience through Storify (can log in through Twitter)
Stofiry also enables you to add content from other services such as YouTube, Flickr or webpages.
BaiBoardHD is a whiteboard-style collaboration app that enables real-time collaboration.
Can be used within one or multiple locations
Secure or open setting
Great for small group work / task based activity
Requires a Google ID to edit documents on the iPad. Best experienced via the GoogleDrive App.
Google Docs works across platforms – can enable collaborative editing/creating in real time or asynchronously.
Similar to Google documents – but can use this without a Google ID.

Lots of possibilities, can be overwhelming, but it's about making and finding methods that work for you and the purpose you wish to achieve. Similar to what can I do with my desktop/laptop computer but...
You and students all have the same device.
Apps are much more focused on a purpose, often simpler but more effective. A standard set of information /hardware. Do have limitations.
Play and experiment with what is possible. It may seem easy to stick to known uses (link to augmentation model of samr) but this device /ecosystem is only 3-4 years old... What can be transformative about this.... To be discovered.
A great opportunity to do this... As a school.
