The WIFI--Eanes ISD iPad Pilot Project http://eaneswifi.blogspot.com/ The WIFI--Eanes ISD iPad Pilot Project
Welcome to the Eanes ISD WIFI (Westlake Initiative for Innovation) Pilot site, where we will chronicle the stages of a campus-wide iPad rollout at Westlake High School.
The site will host descriptions of innovative iPad uses in classrooms, video tutorials and analysis by teachers, lists of apps we have found useful, and processes the district has used to distribute iPads in a large scale deployment.
The hope is to provide guidance and support to other schools venturing down this road in the future.
The IPad As..... http://bit.ly/ynzat1 The IPad As.....
In this section, we take a similar approach as with our Great Tech Tools. In order to help educators integrate iPads effectively, we have compiled a list of apps focused on learning goals consistent with the CRCD framework.
While many of these apps have also appeared in our iPads in the Classroom section, this list is driven by specific learning goals that promote critical-thinking, creativity, collaboration, and the creation of student-centric learning environments.
Getting ready for iPad deployment http://bit.ly/wEUrv3 Getting ready for iPad deployment: ten things I’d wish I’d known about last year
When making the move towards using mobile devices in the classroom, there are a number of practical considerations to bear in mind. This article will draw on the experience we have had this year, in implementing an iPad 1 to 1 scheme with our 6th form. We’ve made many mistakes, and I hope have learnt from them.
In the spirit of collaboration, I will share some of them below, in the hope that other schools learn from both what has worked, and what hasn’t.

Will iOS Macs Dominate Like iPad Does? http://bit.ly/v7dW6R Will iOS Macs Dominate Like iPad Does?
Here’s the most interesting fact about the iPad’s incredible success that most people overlook: The qualities that make iPad desirable are replicable on bigger platforms — and may even be magnified by them. Which is why it’s perfectly reasonable to predict dominant market share for the iOS-like Mac desktops of the future.

If your school is considering adopting iPads, you probably know that there are plenty of educational apps out there. Not all of them are great and some are simply not worth the time it takes to install. Rather than haphazardly install apps, an entire school system has done the work for you.

iPads in schools http://www.ipadshouse.com/mission-possible-now-we-use-ipad-in-schools/ We all know that technology is impacting every aspect of our lives, and it’s not a surprise for anyone that we use iPad in education, business, hospitals, ect. Talking about using the iDevice in schools we can see that there are pros and cons about it. However, I think it’s not so bad.
iPad in Ed: Here to Stay or a Passing Fad? http://www.wiziq.com/blog/ipad-education-stay-or-fad/ iPad in Ed: Here to Stay or a Passing Fad?

Kolbe Catholic College 1:1 Implementation [iPads] http://www.kolbe.wa.edu.au/11-ipad-program/ Kolbe Catholic College 1:1 Implementation [iPads]
Kolbe Catholic College has undergone exceptional change in the area of Information Communication Technology over the last few years. The College is now looking to the future for our senior school students. In 2010 and 2011 the College initiated conversations with many schools around Western Australia that had had 1:1 Laptop Programs extending through years 10 – 12. After reviewing these schools’ programs and discussions with our teaching staff it was decided that in Years 10 – 12 a different device would better suit student needs.
The College ICT philosophy evolves around two fundamental tenants. Firstly, in Years 7 – 9 students use the MacBook laptop as a tool for creating and exploring the possibilities of Information Communication Technology. This allows students to gain the necessary skills to create presentations; manipulate data into meaningful products and to produce quality assessments that show innovation and creativity. Secondly, in Years 10 – 12, while creation still remains highly important, our students’ focus is content retention and organising their subject requirements to achieve the best possible results ...

Their wiki document runs in at nearly 250 pages: sswiki.kolbe.wa.edu.au/groups/ipadstory

Printopia : printing from iDevices http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia/ Printing from your iPhone or iPad is easier than you've ever imagined. Run Printopia on your Mac to share its printers to your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
Add unlimited virtual printers to save print-outs to your Mac as PDF files.
Whether you have an inkjet printer plugged into your Mac, a laser printer plugged into your router or even a network printer, if your Mac can print to it, Printopia will share it.
Is your printer plugged into your AirPort or Time Capsule? No problem. Printopia translates for your printer, allowing it to speak to your iPhone or iPad even if it's not an AirPrint-compatible printer.
Printopia even supports many password-protected printers.
Dropbox.com users can print PDF and JPG files directly to the Mac's Dropbox folder. Dropbox will take care of syncing your printouts for access anywhere you go.
Beware of printing solutions that re-configure your Mac's printing system. Printopia runs independently from printer sharing, and does not modify your Mac or iOS operating system in any way.
Not sure if Printopia does what you need? Download the free demo version and try it out for 7 days. Purchase only if you like what you see.
