The 5 Best Presentation Apps for the iPad

The 5 Best Presentation Apps for the iPad | iPad learning | Scoop.it

"Teachers often turn to presentation software to help deliver the content they choose to meet their lesson objectives, but what is the best way to do this on an iPad? Well, there is no PowerPoint for the iPad, but don’t let that put you off. There’s an app for that!"

I haven't used all of these myself, but I will be trying them. Nearpod is the one I have used and I like it.

John McDermott Neill's curator insight, April 3, 11:24 PM

Nice overview of some of the available tools. I have been looking at Nearpod which looks interesting.

Tips for Using GoAnimate in eLearning by Gary Lipkowitz

Tips for Using GoAnimate in eLearning by Gary Lipkowitz | iPad learning | Scoop.it
Ana Cristina Pratas's curator insight, March 26, 2:44 PM

When most of us think about creating a video, the first thing we think of is a camera. This is natural, given our early exposure to television and movies, as well as the proliferation of low-cost video cameras, such as Flip and GoPro cameras and our omnipresent smartphones.


But in reality, the video constant is the screen—not the camera. All videos will be viewed, but not all are shot. Obviously, I’m drawing the distinction here between live-action videos and animated videos.


Having decided that video would be right for a given training deliverable, how do you then determine if live-action or animated is the way to go?

None of these apps are free but there is quite a variety in terms of what is required and the content used. Some familiar lie Sentence Builder and Storybuilder.

Learning about Angles using iPads

Learning about Angles using iPads | iPad learning | Scoop.it

The App market is quite saturated with Maths apps, particularly ones where pupils are just tapping on the right answer in an activity which is just a digital version of a worksheet with colour and sound. For me, the most useful feature of the iPad is the fact it has a camera which can be accessed from many apps.

 

This week I have been working with Year 5 pupils who have been learning about different types of angles. Once they understood the different types, they displayed their knowledge by finding angles in the classroom, taking a photo and importing into an apps such as Educreations or Explain Everything where it can be labelled and annotated. Simple idea I know but a good use of the iPad's features. Can anyone spot the mistake?

Some possible solutions for displaying a Flash-based content on mobile devices

Tatiana Piatanova's curator insight, March 27, 1:02 PM

Recently we were working with a free rapid dev piece of software called SmartBuilder which is Flash-based (but supposedly getting an HTML5 fall-back in a new version). The first question that came up was, "What about Mobile devices?" Turns out there are actually a few solutions available out there in order to view Flash-based content via mobile (and :

1. Photon Browser - ($4.99) for iPad https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-player-browser/id430200224?mt=8 and iPhone https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photon-flash-web-browser-full/id453546382?ls=1&mt=8

2. If paid browser is not an optioniSWiFTER http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Internet-Utilities/Browsers/iSWiFTER-119437.shtml is a free one and here is a tutorial on how to get it: http://youtu.be/2rbdyFxlVEM (nice trick)

3. And yet another cheap alternitive is an Atomic Web Browser which is only $0.99 – Browse FullScreen w/ Download Manager & Dropbox - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atomic-web-browser-browse/id347929410?mt=8 (which is my personal choice)

 

and on a further research I came upon even more suggestions from Leif on SmartBuilder community forum:
• Diigo Browser (free) – Chrome-like, with annotation and offline reading (formerly iChromy) - http://itun.es/iLX8hF
• Cloud Browse ($2.99) - http://itun.es/iLX8h9
• iCab Mobile (Web Browser) ($1.99) - http://itun.es/iLX87h
• Grazing Web Browser ($1.99) - http://itun.es/iLf2j5
• Skyfire Web Browser ($4.99) - http://itun.es/iLf2DJ and $2.99 for the iPhone.
• Puffin Web Browser ($0.99) - http://itun.es/iLq4ky
• Opera Mini Web browser (free) - http://itun.es/iLq42r

16 iPad Apps to Support the Writing Process {Part 1 of 2} | Learning Unlimited | Research-based Literacy Strategies | iPad learning | Scoop.it

"Today’s writers benefit from an incredible assortment of digital tools from which they can draw inspiration and productivity. Although some writers prefer to stick to old-fashioned pen and paper or even typewriters, there’s a vast population of others that are happy to take advantage of all the new tools out there.

Some of the brightest of these tools can be found on the Apple iPad, and Terry Heick at TeachThought has compiled 16 of them here. Whether students need a place to scribble ideas, organize plotlines, or just find their zen before sitting down to write, these apps have them covered. And you, too."
