  15. iPad Features: Separate iTunes video (Videos) and music (iPod) Redesigned Calendar Up to six apps in the Dock instead of four Animated photo frame
  16. More info on the iPad: HD for videos Doesn’t charge while synching unless connected to a Mac computer App pricing Average iPhone app price: $2.67 Average iPad app price: $4.99
  17. iWorks: iWorks apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) View documents Create documents Edit documents $9.99 each
  18. Three kinds of Apps: Compatible - iPhone apps that run on any device (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad). When run on the iPad, they will only show in “compatibility mode.” You can choose between seeing them in their normal dimension, or double-sized with the 2x button. Universal - Not compatibility mode; always full screen. iPad only
  19. Apple Volume Purchase Program: The Volume Purchase Program allows educational institutions to purchase multiple copies of the same app at once. Developers may also offer a discount for these multiple purchases. http://volume.itunes.apple.com/us/store http://iear.wikispaces.com/VPP-Step+By+Step+Instructions)
  20. Let’s Get Started
  21. Turning It On Hold down the Sleep/Wake button on the top right-hand corner of the iPad until you see the Apple logo appear on the screen. Wait! Slide the Unlock bar across the bottom.
  22. Wi-Fi Click on Settings (Screen 1). Click on Wi-Fi (at the top). Wait for the system to find wireless networks. Then click on ESC Guest. Wait for it to be checked. Type in the password: 9403226928 Now you’re live!
  23. Safari In Safari, double tap to zoom in. You can also “pinch” (putting your thumb and index finger on the screen and pinching in and out) to zoom in Safari and in Pictures.
  24. iPad Basics Save Images in Safari/Mail Just touch and hold an image in Safari or Mail. An action sheet will be presented to enable you to save the image. The image will get stored in the “Saved Photos” library of the Photos app.
  25. Make a Web Clip A Web Clip is an icon you can add to your Home screen as a shortcut to a website. With one tap, Safari will open to the Web Clip's page. To make a Web Clip, simply open the page in Safari. Tap the Plus sign at the top of the screen. Tap Add to Home Screen and edit the title (if you want). Tap Add and, presto, a new icon is added to your Home Screen!
  26. Take a Screen Shot You can take a screenshot on your iPad by pressing Home and then the Sleep/Wake button. The screen will flash and you'll hear a click, indicating that a photo has been taken. Your screen shots are saved automatically in your Photos gallery. Here, you can view or email them as you see fit.
  27. Notes, Pages, Mail Need a capital letter – double tap arrow Need an accent mark – press, hold the vowel and you will see a range of options. Slide your finger to choose. Automatic contractions. Automatically capital letter – iPad and I Email your note to colleagues.
  28. Instant Period Another great keyboard tip for typing in apps such as Pages, Notes, or Mail is to double tap the space bar at the end of a sentence. This adds a period and a space for you, which can be enormously time-saving.

  60. Possibilities for Education: Digital publications Surfing the web Research
  61. Will it be transformational? It will offer a more affordable tool than a complete laptop. Its portability will encourage experiential learning. (Can’t you just envision a class standing out in the wetlands with their iPads, collecting data?) It will offer new ways to engage students with text.
  62. Will it be transformational? It will encourage “paperless” classrooms. It will ignite students’ interest levels (as most new technology seems to do… at least initially). It’s “magical and revolutionary,” qualities that will evolve and become more apparent.
  63. But… It will not be transformational if we continue to do the same old things that we’ve always done, just with an expensive, shiny, new toy.
  64. If Apple can do for the K-12 textbook market what they did for music, the iPad will change forever the way kids are taught in school.
