Super Excited!!!

This week our school received new iPad3's, we are super excited! The camera takes sharper photos and anything you view looks great! Slowly I will be transferring things from the iPad2, having the "iCloud" makes that process so much easier. If you have multiple devices in your classroom you probably know about the iCloud and how it makes an old "icky" task of loading apps to each device a blessing. The iCloud also can be a way to manage your calendars, contacts, emails, and iWork documents. If want to check the documents that your students are working on, it's pretty easy---- log into iCloud on the computer. Here are the steps....Have Fun!


Go to the following URL and login with your iTunes username and password:
https://www.icloud.com/


Your screen should look like this:

All the iWork documents from Pages, Numbers, and Keynote will be available:

 My favorite feature is the "Find My iPhone", you can manage the location of all your classroom devices and look how specific the locator gets:

Organizing Your Apps

Here is a tip to help organize your apps....

Our school had designated a wiki page with a table that is broken into categories, like the one below. Since we use a wiki, users have access and the ability to add other apps to the page.

We also use these categories to create folders that make it easier for students to find particular apps. The video below shows how to create folders on your ipad.
