[Yr7-10it] iPAD apps question for all...KentB

[WEIR Andrew]

Kent,
As of 2012 we will be an Ipad School, 800 next year the remaining the year after.

We have gone for a production application approach rather than apps for subjects. 
Happy to chat any time and site visits are definitely possible if you don't mind the travel. 

I am putting together a list of apps requested by domains at the moment and their prices, we have a limit of $50 to cater for the students and we are going with one standard set of apps across the school.

General question for all you iPAD users in classrooms..!

We here at St.B's are going down the iPAD path way in 2012. As part of my role I seek out any information that you guys and gals out there may have in the 'apps' that you have used for your iPADs either with staff or students or both, what subject the app was used for and how much it cost to download from the iTUNES store(or other location).
The first staffer to ask for this info has been my Maths co-ordinator who is interested in Apps used for Maths topics(all secondary levels) or even any texts available as an 'app'. 

I would also be interested in feedback about the configuration of iPAD machines being favored among users. We are looking at the 16/32/64Gb options with Wi-Fi and 3G options for our (about to be) purchased machines.

Any other info that you feel would be valuable from your experiences with this tool/device would be appreciated.

Thanks heaps in advance.

Subject: [Yr7-10it] Invitation - Programming Cell Phones with App Inventor

Programming Cell Phones with App Inventor Thanks to a Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies Research Grant we are able to have Barbara Ericsson ( Georgia Tech, USA) lead this workshop which will introduce you to creating mobile apps using App Inventor. App Inventor is similar to Scratch in that you do drag and drop programming. App Inventor was originally created by Google for Android phones, but will be supported by MIT in the future (Jan 2012).

After completing this workshop teachers will be able to:
Set up a computer and phone for App Inventor Create apps that use GUI elements such as buttons, labels, image sprites, and timers Create apps that use the accelerometer and camera Create apps that use lists Know where to go for more tutorials and resources This workshop is free and by invitation only. Complimentary light lunch provided. Limited spaces available.
