"If you sync your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on your Mac, you know that the first thing iTunes does is back it up (unless you've told it not to). Depending on the size of your device and how much data you have stored on it, this can gobble up dozens of gigabytes of space. Did you know you can move those backups to an external hard drive? You can, and we can walk you through how. " Via John Evans

"This fall there will be teachers trying the flipped classroom approach to lessons for the first time. In the right setting the flipped classroom model can work well. My favorite tools for creating flipped lessons include the option to insert questions for students to answer while watching the video instead of waiting until the end to answer a series of questions. I also like tools that provide students with the opportunity to submit questions to their teachers while they are watching videos. These tools offer those options." Via Beth Dichter

When talking about the iPad in education, the tendency is to think of it as a tool for the ‘end user’. Or ‘pupils’ as they are often known. As a tool of consumption, the iPad is pretty special – easy to use and driven by apps, it’s a great way for pupils to research, read, watch and learn. It’s no wonder that many schools have taken to it, and take to offering ‘an iPad on every desk’ as the new status symbol of schooldays. The iPad also has its uses for teachers – as a way for them to drive their professional lives. With some attention to the app store, and some experience in selecting the quality tools from the ‘me-too’ apps, digitally adept teachers (and we’ve talked about them before) can use it to show pupils the tools they’ll need to accelerate their learning; to manage the classroom and projects the pupils do; assessing students’ work, and interacting with them; creating new media for pupils to learn from; and learning things for themselves (imagine that!). There’s plenty of ways that the iPad can greatly improve your productivity in the classroom. You just need a route map, such as this, from LearninginHand.
