On this collection of IBooks I chose the Apple TV: A Deployment Guide. This IBook is wonderful on how to use Apple TV in the classroom. This app explains in detail all uses that apple TV has. One feature that is very useful is that air drop app, meaning that any IPad can be connected to a projector at any given time. This is great so students don’t have to worry about emailing their teacher projects or making sure they are saved multiple ways. A student may simple use the IPad that the project was created on and it will be displayed on the projector in the class. Another wonderful feature is that Apple TV allows the user to stream the internet while using the device and is 100% mobile. Apple TV is mobile simply because it only takes one Apple TV for one location and any and every project can become connected uploaded and shared instantly. This is all made possible because of apple TV.

IMovie was a good app to use for this project. This app would great to use in a one-to-one school so students. This app was a lot of person application. This is a great way for students to tell a story or express their personal creativity. I found that this app allows me to easily use and personalize my photos in order to explain my story in better detail. The app is overall well organized and helps create a clean cut presentation. Here is my video.

The ibook I  chose was called Making thinking visible. This book is the key to innovative mobile learning. This book provides professional development for educators. This book is all about about how to teach with engagement in technology and updating lessons to make students more engaged.  The collection has 30 lesson ideas all together. Some other lesson ideas that interested me in learning are ESL Blog Reports, and students as Math Authors Projects. These books involve many ideas about new ideas for how to teach lessons in the classroom. I would use the Making Things Visible book to use for a math lesson so I could hold students interest. To find this collection you have to go to ITunes U and then you have to click on Inspiring Lesson ideas.

Art Authority lesson ideas is a wonderful app to use in the classroom for historical monuments and historical artifacts. I would personally use this app with a history unit to explore the Mayan’s architecture This app can help students explore art authority through visuals. There are other wonderful apps such as sketch lesson ideas and Art Authority lesson ideas.The collection is about the exploration of apps and ideas that can be shared between teachers and other educators.

4. Then get specific in your review about the course you selected from each collection.

5. Include the image from the cover of the course and a link to that specific course. (Make sure you crop it in the Photos app so it is just the cover)

Week 5 Interactive Whiteboard

This app would be a really cool app to use in the classroom. I found that since I did not have the full version, I was only allowed to make one video at a time. This was a little frustrating because I wanted to make more than one video and then pick the best of the two for my project.  On the other hand this app would be great to use for kids to show their understanding of math lesson or for a presentation in social studies. There were some minor issues with the app such as color options and the fact that you have to buy the full version to make more than one video but over all the app was user friendly.

Week 4 IMovie Reflection

This app was very useful for this project. I found that the app was user friendly to anyone. I tend to struggle with technology and this app made making this trailer simple. The video I made was about different types of food and the imovie app pretty much did all the work for me.

Shelly Fryer is a teacher who lives in Oklahoma and is a women who loves to implement technology into learning in a classroom. Her Blong was very interesting to look at. She almost always posts pictures of her class using the technology she is implementing or the finished products of what is created in her classroom. Her Blong has some of the most creative ideas I have seen thus far. One of her latest post was about how she assigned a famous black person to each student in her class and they did a research project over them. I do wish her blog was a littl more organized by categories or tabs. Overall this blog was very creative and gave me many new ideas.
