First 2 weeks using iPads...

It has been an exciting start to Term 2 as the school has embraced the introduction of iPads. Further to my first post on setting up the iPads. We have now installed a few apps, using Meraki, which has been brilliant! It is so easy to assign apps to each device and then install the apps on the iPads.

In addition, we have started a Wednesday morning coffee group before school at 8am for staff to practise using the apps and to share ideas. I am really enjoying sharing what I have learnt about iPads, apps, Google Drive etc and learning from my colleagues. At this stage we are sharing 14 iPads between the classes. The first issue we encountered was how were we going to save students work? The solution at this stage is that students will use the Google Drive app to achieve this.

Students are able to sign into the app and instantly add photos, videos, documents.Once this has been done, students sign out of Google Drive once they are finished with the iPad. Students are then able to view these pictures and videos at home, school, anywhere where they can log into the google account.

To upload photos or videos that are already stored on your device:

1. Open the Drive app.
2. In the top right, touch the + button.
3. Select Upload Photos or Videos.
4. Touch one or more photos or videos in your camera roll to upload it to Drive.

Issue:
How do we add these videos to blogs?
I have created a short video to explain how I think we can do this...
