Room 254

In any high school classroom, how can we use iPads to foster differentiated instruction, learn collaboratively, check for understanding, and create meaningful projects? During this session Wes Molyneaux will share his experiences about using iPads in a 1:1 environment in his Anatomy and Physiology class during the 2011-2012 School year.  Wes will explain how he took his class digital, first using GoodReader and then with Remarks as his hub for note taking and student homework.  In addition to turning his curriculum digital Wes uses the power of QR Codes in conjunction with Google forms to create self-graded bell ringers/quizzes/exit tickets in his classroom.   Wes will also show some examples of multimedia lab reports and video projects created by his students using apps such as Animation HD, Explain Everything, iMovie, Pages, Skitch, Keynote and the iPad’s camera.  Lastly Wes will also discuss how he uses Drop Box and WebDAV for distributing and collecting student work.
