iPad Media Camp Frequently Asked Questions 2 of 2 (June 2014)
This is an 33 minute, 48 second video answering frequently asked questions submitted by participants in “iPad Media Camp” in July 2014 in Loves Park, Illinois. This “narrated slideshow” video was created with Haiku Deck, Explain Everything, and published via YouTube Capture with an iPad. These questions are answered in this video:
- When searching for apps for my students, it is important that the speech/audio is in the standard American dialect. Is there a way to specify within a search the country of origin? (0:47)
- Is it possible to change or edit one of the photo slides but not have to re-record our story segment in Explain Everything once the story has already been created? (2:15)
- My iPad was plugged in all day and still went from 68% battery to 52% battery life. Is this normal? (3:41)
- Can you scan a QR code that is on your device with that same device or does it have to be a different device? (5:40)
- What does the mute button do? It doesn’t seem to mute my sound on videos? Does it simply mute alerts? (6:12)
- Can you stop push notifications if you accidentally accepted them? (7:17)
- How do you freeze your apps so students can’t delete them? (7:59)
- Do you have any suggestions for managing space on an iPad that is only 16GB? (10:53)
- Could you possibly review how to make QR codes? I know th QR Beemer was missed what u said to do! Also if you have info or the website to do the” bit” url’s when it’s a long address. (14:05)
- It could just be my age but every time we choose to or are asked in our daily lives, personal, professional or recreational to upload something to the internet I cringe. I worry so much about all of the endless information that is “”in the air””. My question is; ‘do you think there will ever come a time when there is a little more monitoring of the web information? …you know deleting the information after so many days of inactivity/views, etc? I am concerned that we will never find the ‘good’ stuff’ through all of the junk and it will take us longer than ever to find it as well. (16:14)
- We are experimenting with so any cool apps that I start to lose track of how I will use them with my students/curriculum/strategies…is there a way to create a flow chart starting with what a teacher is having trouble with in their teaching and then flow it to the possible apps that might assist in those areas? Kind of like those medical symptoms flow chart where each symptom connects you with a possible diagnosis and remedy. (20:36)
- Sounds crazy I know but as a music teacher, my presence in front of the students is crucial 80% of the time since I am their director and I join them in their performances (display of work). I feel that I would just be creating more fun work for me instead of finding some perfect iPad features/apps that truly make my students more skillful, knowledgeable and performing musicians. (23:41)
- Is Kidblog better than Edmodo? I have been using Edmodo for 2 years now, and am pretty comfortable with it. It seems that Kidblog is very similar. (26:13)
- With all the different apps and websites, is there a “best” way to keep things organized so students and parents don’t have to remember a ton of usernames and logins and so they can go to a single location to find all the resources and content that has been created? (31:06)
