FAQs About iPads and Media in the Classroom

During the June and July 2012 sessions of the 3 day workshop “iPad Media Camp,” I asked participants to post questions they had about our curriculum as well as related topics using a Google form. Instead of just answering questions in class, I created narrated slideshows using the iPad app “Explain Everything” and posted the videos to YouTube. This way these videos can be used in class (including upcoming sessions) as well as shared with others who couldn’t attend in person. Below you’ll find the questions addressed in each screencast video as well as the videos themselves.

I’ve also posted these to the FAQs page of iPadMediaCamp.com. Fall 2012 sessions of iPad Media Camp are scheduled in Oklahoma City for Aug 31, Sep 14 & Nov 2, as well as Dec 18-20. Updated session dates along with registration links are available. Please follow @iPadMediaCamp on Twitter for updates. Also be sure to check out “iPad Training for Business Productivity,” which is a one day workshop I offer. I presented this for the first time in May and will be offering another session on September 21st in Oklahoma City.
