To date the classroom procedure has been -- Students arrive -- Students download lesson and open in Noterize, get out paper homework and correct in class. With the homework assigned and completed on the ipad the sequence was a little different and opening up the “penultimate” app took a minute or two. Familiarity will smooth things out. It was really a treat to see the students excited about the potential for no paper in class. We corrected the homework and moved on to the lesson – We are beginning to have the occasional crash with the Noterize. The files come back in tact without the last few annotations.
We tried to use the Whipple Hill dropbox but were not able to upload a file. On my end I have to create an assignment within my Whiple Hill webpage then check a box allowing the assigment to be turned in via the dropbox. When the students log on they click on the assignment and are able to select a “turn in” type button. When they go to choose a file the choose button is dimmed. It has got to be something with the way the iPad stores files. We contacted the Whipple Hill rep and they are now aware of it.
The students have carried them to their other classes and to date there have not been issues. In fact several of the 8th grade teachers are creating assignments specifically for the iPads
