Our First Appy Hour!

Hi All, 

Thank you for your attendance at our First Appy Hour! 


In our first session we covered: 

  • Q & A - Any questions on using the iPad were answered 
  •  A review of the previous session with Kristy and some new shortcuts 
  •  Bookmarking our Appy Hour Blog to our home screens 
  •  A review of Realtime Roll and clarification on how to use it 
  •  A review of Airserver and sharing of when it might be used in class 
  •  An introduction to our iPad In-class visits for Term 2 and nomination of preferred time and App - there is one time-slot for each class this term where Sam will come to your class and teach a new App or process. Teachers are asked to nominate a time on the Google doc which has been shared with you. iPads will be used from Stage 2 and 3 for the middle session to allow 1:2 access for these sessions. 
  •  A notification that all Stage 2 and 3 iPads will be re-imaged on Monday 28 July 
  •  A preview of upcoming Appy Hours - see google doc shared with you for a timetable of upcoming Appy Hours. Typically to be held on Thursday afternoons on odd weeks from 3:15-4pm 
  •  Sharing of Apps, Sites or Tips
 Margaret shared a site she discovered at the Slide2Learn Conference ICT With Miss C http://ictwithmissc.weebly.com  - this site contains a wealth of useful information related to ICLT and iPad Use. 




Veronica shared an App she has been using recently - Pinterest is a wonderful tool for collecting or finding a collection of resources (images, links etc) https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pinterest/id429047995?mt=8



Thanks again, and keep an eye on this blog for more information, ideas and recaps of our Appy Hours!

Thanks,
Sam.
