[CASL-L] : Kindle app and iPad lab

[Valerie DiLorenzo]

Hi Kathleen,
I don't know the answer to your kindle question, but look forward to
hearing the answer.

FYI there is an iPads in the classroom workshop at the Danbury Apple Store
on Wednesday. If there is still room for attendees, you would need to sign
up.

A couple of apps that I'll surely be using next year are educreations and
nearpod teacher (nearpod student for the students' iPads). It's mind
boggling how many amazing apps are available for free! Here's the link to a
live binder for iPads in schools: http://www.livebinders.com/play/play/26195

Here are some notes copied directly from Michelle Luhtala's follow up to
her webinar on Wednesday that speak to the topic of managing iPads:

"edWeb.net Emerging Tech session 24 on Digital Libraries(6/13/2012) chat
excerpts with responses

Valerie DiLorenzo from Bethlehem: Michelle just mentioned ipads. I'm
getting 8 ipads for my library! What are some of the best ways to manage
these? I'm sure there are links already up on edweb, but if you can give me
a link quickly that would be great!

Valerie, Please check out the last 10 minutes of my last webinar on BYOD.
Michael talks about Apple Configurator, which is what we finally settled on
to manage the devices. Be warned. Getting 8 iPads is a lot of work! Try to
appoint a student to manage them.

Yikes, be careful what you wish for . . . and get! I'm excited though
