Thursdays stuff

You know, I'm trying to get my iPad to work ... that is, I'm trying ot get the iPad to work at work with me.

I saw this today:



I'm gunna try this over the next few weeks, I have to get some of this working now, as I have the time and tide to make it work.

I'mma thinking using the smartboard with my laptop in order to take apart the headlines of the Toronto Star sometime next week.

Should be interesting.

Today's musings

I was floating around on the interwebs, looking into leading some Prject Based Learning ... it was what I did with Travels in Ed-ucation last year. It was something that has findiamentally changed the way I learn.

I'm basically trying to change the way I teach, man.

In any case, I found a few blogs, a few links that should help me in this endeavour.

Things is looking up, as always at this time of year.

remote sign in

I, as most people do, have a mother.

My mother is special, she has a Macbook. Since I, and my nieces, convinced her to buy it to get online and participate in modern day society, we are now her technical support.

I think the Oatmeal has it right, man.

In any case, I found out a little about Remote sign ins for my mother's laptop. This is an Apple seminar, and free. Awesome.

iPad reigns

I'm finding that when I get home, the laptop stays in my bag , unless there is a specific thing I need to use it for - ripping a CD/DVD or putting marks together with MarkBook... otherwise I'm using the iPad for email and other things.

Heck, I'm using it to control my Apple TV, which is awesome.

In any case, I'm looking at Apps for both my home life, which always needs some help, and my work life, which also needs some help, too. Link is here.

the iPad cometh

I got the iPad I ordered online on Friday. Since then I've been playing with it to discover how to use it in class.

It is like forced PD, except it's fun and self directed.

Here is a blog someone is keeping to help me along, too.

And some help from Apple. Should be good.

White listed

I learned a term today: "White listed" Interesting.

Here's an article about websites that should be white listed.
