Over the last week, 1:1 teachers have invited us in to set up iFiles with each student. iFiles is an app that we are using to connect our iPads to our servers. Teachers can drop files into the student shared for students to use on their iPads and students can drop files to the student shared for teachers to access. We made small QR code cards for students to scan the giant URL needed to access our servers. The students copied the info and pasted it into iFiles, entered their student login and password and voila! Students were connected to their home folders and the student shared. We were all so amazed at how easily they picked up directions when using the iPad. It's like there is a zero learning curve! Way to go! In one class, students had time to explore their iPad freely. As I watched, I noticed each student was taking the opportunity to create or learn from one app rather than flitting about from one app to another. One student was on Google Earth, another watching Brain Pop and yet another creating an iMovie starring his classmates.Resources: iFiles handout, iFiles QR code
