Maths  Apps  and  Maths  App-­‐,vi,es

It   has   been   proven   that   using   iPad   Apps   for   Maths  improves   problem   solving   skills   and   mental   arithme9c  speed.  There  are  a  range  of  Apps  to  support  this  subject  area,  for  example,  “Numbers”  can  be  used  with  formulas  to   test   and   monitor   conjectures   whereas   “Explain  Everything”  is  used  to  record  ideas  which  can  be  shared  via   the  whiteboard.  During   this  workshop,   teachers  will  explore  a  range  of  Maths  Apps  as  well  as  other  Apps  that  will  support  lessons  and  projects.

Example  Class  Projects

This  hands-­‐on  workshop  demonstrates  how  to  structure  a   class   project.     When   using   iPads   in   the   classroom,  projects   are   split   into   three   sec9ons;   Research   &  Capture,   Create  &  Edit,   Share  &  Publish.  Knowsley  CLCs  will  demonstrate  a  range  of  free  and  inexpensive  Apps  to  create  a  final  project  using   a  range  of  popular  examples  from   subject   areas   such   as   Science,   History   and  Geography.     This  workshop  can  be  tailored  to  a  specific  subject/curriculum  area  with  prior  no9ce.

 Class  Blogs  &  Social  Networking  for  Teachers

This   workshop   provides   a   great   introduc9on   to   social  networking  in  schools.    Using  a  class  blog  allows  teachers  the  opportunity  to  teach  social  web  e9queVe  and  what  informa9on   is  suitable   to   post   in  a  safe  and  monitored  environment.   We   have   also   found   blogs   to   be   a   great  method   to   engage   with   parents   and   showcase/share  work.  During  this  workshop,  we  will  demonstrate  how  to  set  up  a  blog,  pos9ng  with   Apps,   uploading   video   and  images,   privacy   seWngs   and   how   to   use   TwiVer/Facebook  as  a  communica9on  tool  for  your  school.

Conduc,ng  experiments

The  iPad  can  be  used  in  a  variety  of  ways  to  support  the  delivery  of  Science,  from  calcula9ng  pH  to  exploring  the  periodic   table,   in   fact,   the   possibili9es   are   endless.    During  this  workshop,  Knowsley  CLCs  will  highlight  how  to  capture  experiments  using  iMovie.    This  will  take  the  form   of   a  video   diary   including   an   introduc9on   to   the  experiment,   the   purpose   of   the   research   subject   and  what  is  expected   to  happen.    We  will  show  you  how  to  capture  the  experiment  including  a  running  commentary  by   the   learner   and   how   to   capture   thoughts   on   the  outcome,   why   it   happened   and   reflect   on   what   the  learner   had   predicted   to   happen.     We   will   then  demonstrate   how   learners   can   document   what   they  have  learnt  in  Apps  such  as  “Skitch”.

Digital  StoryTelling

This  workshop  will   introduce  a  variety   of  ways  in  which  digital  stories  can  be  storyboarded,  captured,  edited  and  exported.  There  are  three  main  mediums  for  students  to  create  scripted  and  fun  stories  using  the  iPad,  e.g.    Movie  Crea9on,  Stop  Anima9on  and  Real-­‐Time  Anima9on.    This  workshop  will  combine  tutorials  and  hands-­‐on   sessions  of  the  Apps  to  demonstrate  all  three  methods,  providing  aVendees   with   the   knowledge   and   crea9vity   to  implement  digital  storytelling  into  the  school  curriculum.

Crea,ve  Wri,ng  &  Digital  Books

Crea9ng   ePubs   are   a   great   way   to   engage   students,  develop   literacy   skills   and   provide   the   opportunity   to  summarise/evidence  a  class  project.    This  workshop  will  demonstrate  how   to   create  ePubs  incorpora9ng  various  sources  of  media,   e.g.   audio,   film   and   artwork   –   all  on  the   iPad.  The  workshop  will  finish  with   illustra9ng   how  to  publish  an  ePub  to  iBooks,  making  it  freely  available  to  all.  

Using  iTunesU  Course  Manager

iTunes   U   allows   staff   to   create   and   share   their   own  media   rich   resources.     These   resources   can   then   be  shared  with  the  class  so  they  have  all  the  materials  they  need  for   a  project/course  at  their  finger9ps.    The  class  can  annotate  the  materials  with  their  own  notes  as  they  progress   through   the   course/project   whereas   teachers  can  update  the  materials,  send  out  no9fica9ons  and  new  assignments.    Once  the  project  or   course  is  completed,  learners  can  evaluate  what  they  have  learnt  -­‐  all  through  one  App!     Any   resources   produced   can   also   be   easily  shared  amongst  staff   in  your  school.    This  workshop  is  a  beginners  guide  for   teachers  on  how  to  u9lise  this  App  most  effec9vely  in  the  classroom.

 Music  and  Podcast  Crea,on

This   hands-­‐on   workshop   demonstrates   how   to   create  songs/soundtracks   using   a   variety   of   instruments   and  recording   op9ons  available  on  the  iPad.     Knowsley  CLCs  will  demonstrate  how   to  plug   in   instruments  or  use  the  iPad   as  the   instrument   to   record   sound   loops   and   link  the   devices   together   for   ‘jam’   sessions.   Musical  knowledge   maximises   the   power   of   “Garageband”   but  non-­‐musical  projects  can  be  developed  as  this  App  can  be  used   to  capture   audio   for   news  reports,   interviews,  sports  commentary  etc  and  thus  can  be  used  across  the  curriculum.
