I has been quite a year with iPads in the classroom.  I will begin by saying "be careful'.

There is some amazing apps to do with science, I'm a language teacher, but have seen some of the apps.  For astronomy, check out perhaps GoSkyWatch, its pretty amazing.

I teach 7th grade science and am looking for ideas anyone has used to incorporate the iPad. My units of study are: astronomy and space exploration, microorganisms, fungi and plants, robotics, motion forces and energy. Some project I include are: Community Gardening, NASA EarthKAM, then I end the year with a Rube Goldberg project. I do not have much expereince with iPads, but may be purchasing some for my class if I came come up with some applications to propose. Any and all ideas are appreciated!!!!

Lastly, my team wants to know applications for math, American history, Spanish, literature, and writing.

Thanks!!!!!!

Convert Your Existing Printer into AirPrinter

All you need to do is to hook up the printer like you do on to your mac / pc. Then install the software listed below. The only setback for this solution is that you must have both ur mac/pc and the printer on and connected in the same wifi network.

Shared AirPrinter Software

1. Collobos FingerPrint– It works even on IOS5 devices. All it does, is to expose your printer as shared then make them visible to the iDevices. Provided both printer and your mac must be in the same wifi network. Works on both mac and windows. Although both sold separately. Follow instruction on the website to install and get it working.
2. Printopia - Same like the concept above, but only works on Mac. Follow instruction on the website to install and get it working.
3. AirPrint Activator – Same like above but free. Might require some tweaking and security settings. Follow instruction on the website to install and get it working.

And now you have airPrinters...Cheers!

For those trying to project their iPad, we use Apple TV ($99) to connect to the iPad wirelessly.  This can be connected to any projector with a HDMI cord...it will display everything on the iPad.

Hi Everyone. Just got 15 iPads at my school and am looking for suggestions as to how to organise them efficiently. How to charge them all at once, get the apps on them all at the same time, move them around the school. I recall reading some time ago about using a cart? How do you all manage your iPads?

Hi All, I'm a elearning technologies and founder of watch, learn and know.com. My ultimate goal is to bring mobility technology ( such as iPhone, iPad, Android ) to e-learning with the goal of making the learning experience more practical and portable! And I'm here to share with all of you some of my experience and expertise. ;)

Some of you may have seen it, but there is an ePub app called Book Creator that you can make your own ebooks and have students access for your iPad through iBooks. It's great, limited at the moment but getting there, have a look!
