The iPad allows us to do many things, whether it be to watch and interact with media, utilise hundreds of thousands of apps, browse the web, send email or simply play games.<br />
I had never seen anything like this presentation.<br />
Combining seven new iPads, these two guys will entertain you with their skills!! in an enthralling presentation.<br />

Teachers are very excited to be able to use their smartphones and iPads as remotes to update students awards easily while moving around the classroom.
Kalen Gallagher, from Class Dojo, has created the following Prezi's via Cathy Edwards on yammer. I hope they can be useful to you and your staff.

This program is teacher-centerd and therefore has greater flexibility to allow teachers to customize the reasons and incentive structure for each class. It allows me to not only decide the criteria and point value of rewards, but also add notes (not seen by students) at any point in time, which is particularly helpful when trying to keep track of follow-up to a particular event.</div>

What I particularly love about Class Dojo is the fact that I can control it with my iphone!

This application allows me to be where I need to be-with my students, and frees me from being trapped at my keyboard.</div>

Parent Feedback (enables me to tell each parent how their child did in class that day, and everyday)</strong></div>

Our circumstances often make it difficult for us to provide parents with as much feedback as we would like to. Class Dojo, however, is set up so that parents can access their child’s data and see how they performed in class each day. Now I will be able to tell each parent how their child did in class that day and everyday.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The Aviary editor is embeddable.
Make sure you allow yourself plenty of time as the only real downside being the extra time it takes to save large files.</span>Audrey Nayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16203906119575855331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5973018789237370849.post-41475825904859555192012-02-06T00:23:00.000-08:002012-02-06T00:23:33.077-08:00I love these humorous punctuation posters!<div style="line-height: 0px; padding-bottom: 2px;">

Through the Doceri Remote iPad app and Doceri Desktop software, you can control a computer (Mac or Windows), easily launch any document or application, and annotate over them at any time. You can save drawings and play them back in the future allowing even better presentations to be created from your existing PowerPoint or Keynote slideshows. If you just want to use it as a whiteboard, you can create any handwritten/drawn content on any background of your choice. And with additional room control hardware, Doceri can even be used as the remote control for projectors, DVD players, and all other audiovisual devices in your room." </span><br />
