Tech. Tuesday- March 27

This week's Tech Tuesday post is dedicated to apps for the iPads.  I am pretty excited about some of the apps that I have come across lately.  For instance:

Splashtop Remote Desktop:  Sometime back, our science department said, "Wouldn't it be amazing if we could find a way to use the iPads to allow us to project what we are doing on our desktops onto the SMART Boards remotely, so that we could walk around the room while we demonstrate on our computers?  Well this app will let you do just that.  By installing the Splashtop Remote Desktop app on the iPad and the free Splashtop Streamer on any PC or MAC computer, you can stream video or audio from your PC/MAC and interact with almost any program or file on that computer via your iPad.  I installed it on my iPad and was able to walk around the building and access my office computer from anywhere.  There are so many possibilities with this!  Check it out!  http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/splashtop-remote-desktop-for/id382509315?mt=8

VoiceThread for iPad:  It is no secret that I am a fan of the VoiceThread app for many reasons. I have described it in a previous post and would love to know how you used it in your classroom.  Now you can access and interact with VoiceThread on the iPad with this free app.  Excellent!

As with anything you read about here, if you would like to know more, please do not hesitate to see me!
