David Blair commented on Shawn Moore's group Mac Classroom 2.0"I'm finishing a grad class with some K-8 teachers in science inquiry next week and will be using both Macs and iPad to help with teaching and certifying them to check out and use the StarLab Planetarium with the kiddos... And, believe me, the…"
David Blair commented on Shawn Moore's group Mac Classroom 2.0"I've been doing some telescope work and love using the iPad and Star Walk to help zero in on what I want to look at. I think that device will be a wonderful adjunct to the Mac computers for education. Even Pasco brought their science probe…"
David Blair commented on Shawn Moore's group Mac Classroom 2.0"Wow, haven't been on here for a while. This forum is growing. What a terrific time to be an Apple person. Seems like those of us who've been at it for a time had some rough years but I think I see a lot of light at the end of tunnel now...…"
David Blair replied to JoAnn Jacobs's discussion iPads in the group Mac Classroom 2.0"Ginger,
I expect there are many such things that (hopefully) Apple will make easier in the future. As to moving files I think this link may be helpful unless you are already familiar with this method-->…"
David Blair replied to JoAnn Jacobs's discussion iPads in the group Mac Classroom 2.0"Personally I think that Apple has a pretty good thing going by controlling the Operating System and the hardware. Things just plain work better. I have seen far too many problems on the PC/Microsoft side of things for the last several years and it…"
David Blair replied to JoAnn Jacobs's discussion iPads in the group Mac Classroom 2.0"Hi Amy,
There are a number of graphing calculator and related APPs that run on iPod as you probably know. I am, however, amazed at how well the pixel-doubling of the iPad makes them look at it enlarges them to fill the screen. I didn't mention…"
David Blair replied to JoAnn Jacobs's discussion iPads in the group Mac Classroom 2.0"Wow, don't know what to say. I guess I'll just start with the fact that when I got mine, I turned it on and it worked... no computer to activate. I linked onto my wireless and started downloading APPs, books and lots of need educational…"

- About Me
- I serve as a science/math/technology consultant for a regional K-12 agency in Iowa. My photo is not intended to say I think I am SUPERMAN, but rather my need to be in order to accomplish all to which I aspire ;-) The SPPDP link below depicts some of my endeavor in inquiry science with area teachers.

Our Brainyflix video contest just ended, and I wanted to thank you for helping us get the word out. We got 800 submissions from across the country!
That said, MIT was really happy with the results and will let us run another contest, so we're going for it! But this time, we're gonna have kids create Brainypics flashcards - which are images and sentences paired up with a one of our SAT/ACT words. The contest ends May 22nd, and there'll be iTunes and a cash prize like last time. To boot, we'll double the payout if the kids can hit a certain goal. More details at brainyflix.com/main/contest_rules.
Do you mind passing my message along to your colleagues again?
Thanks,
Jack
