Apple has released an update to Configurator 1.2.1 to 1.3. The update removes very important functionality. In version 1.2.1 you could install mobile Profiles to as many devices as you could plug in. Now after the update you can only install profiles, one at a time.
I had a method which allowed me to install a profile so the devices would auto join our schools wifi network. That method is now gone.
Bad Apple.

I received an email from an agricultural education colleague in another district inquiring about potential iPad testing apps to to use which also handle scoring. I figured rather than just send her an email, I’d share the three apps I use for assessment purposes with pros and cons of each. All I mention are FREE.
Socrative
Socrative bills itself as the “smart student response system” and it is. Quizzes can be multiple choice and short answer. Once the quiz is completed, you email yourself the report which has the total number of correct multiple choice questions indicated, correct answers highlighted in green and wrong answers highlighted in red, and the short answer replies in white cells.

This week Float Mobile Learning announced the release of Wayfiler, a mobile app that lets people connect files and websites to specific locations in order to find information when and where they need it.
Wayfiler is available for free for iOS. Using the device’s GPS to access a user’s location, you can easily share files and websites by connecting to any Dropbox account. Once a website or file is tagged, all other Wayfiler users will be able to see the file when they are nearby. Use the device’s mapping tools to get directions to the file, share it with friends, attach it to emails and more.
Besides, Float Mobile Learning created a nice infographic about the importance of geolocation in our life covering the history and technology. Enjoy!

As I delve into the last leg of my sabbatical I am working on Infographics, among other things. You may have seen a pattern lately in my posts, the work is mainly bird related. Well my sabbatical has been all about birds and art/design and during the first part of it I focused on my bird photography, which you can follow on my For The Love of Birds blog.
There aren’t many bird related infographics but I found this one on bird id on Mother Nature Network‘s website
I see lots of people talking about and asking about hardware being “prepared for BYOD” and/or “BYOD ready”. Most of the time they’re talking about Wireless Access Points(WAPs) or other similar items of infrastructure.
In a lot of ways, as long as you stick to a reputable vendor, what make of WAP you buy is the least difficult and least interesting part of the project – you wouldn’t focus too heavily on what brand of switch your desktops were wired into as part of a project to give everyone access to a new corporate intranet site from the desktop – you’d spend more time checking that the site’s CMS system worked with your standard browser and thinking about what content users should be able to get to, and how they’d get to it. Same here…
I’d be careful about using phrases like “BYOD ready” in a technical discussion and I’d…

The ever spiraling madness of funding, financing and technology
CLASSROOM 21 | by Greg Limperis
The times they are a changin’. It used to be, the only thing you had to worry about budgeting for in education besides the usual cost in personnel, infrastructure and maintenance — was textbooks. I know, I have simplified this list — but let me digress. Today there is an ever growing need for schools to go digital, but how to do so and to fund it properly is a growing problem that is quickly spiraling out of control. Let me explain.
You see, the talk in education is the knowledge that it is in the students’ best interest if the school or district could find a way to put an Internet capable device in the hand of each child. Yes, what we are talking about is the ever so popular adage “going one-to-one.” Just think…

We’re quickly getting used to the fact that computer, smartphone and tablet screens are meant to be touched — but what about paper?
Fujitsu has developed a technology that detects objects your finger is touching in the real world, effectively turning any surface — a piece of paper, for example — into a touchscreen, DigInfo reports.
“This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology,” explains Taichi Murase, a researcher at Fujitsu’s Media Service System Lab.

Although mobile learning is an expected trend, but there are diversified approaches and no one best answer for all situations. These articles and infographic could help clarify which one is the best for you.
Mobile applications: native v Web apps – what are the pros and cons?
Rapid advances in HTML5, the new more mobile friendly version of the Web language, and the hard work by the standards body World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to create standard interfaces across mobile devices mean that Web apps can – or will be able to – do many of the things that native apps can do.
Early this year GIA released a pioneering research paper entitled Native or Web Application? that surveyed businesses that had created both Web apps and mobile apps. Who better to guide us through the pros and cons of each platform than the author of that report, Lie Luo?

I try to figure out what’s the best way to deploy iPad in school.
Here is the post I found:
1) My Guide to iPad deployment in school (31.1.2012) – the best post I think
2) Authorization rules on iTunes (Chinese Version)(22.6.2011) or (English Version)
3) More on Apple ID’s (25.6.2012)
4) Your Apple Id is limited in 10 devices (20.8.2011)
5) Apple Quietly Updates iTunes Policy To Reduce The Number Of Authorized Devices Per Account (8.8.2011)
