In class discussion:
In class classmates presented Plickers and science gags. Plickers is a inexpensive way to get the clicker experience, the teacher prints of individual bar codes for each student. They rotate them and show the answer to the teacher who scans them with his or her cell phone. The science gages were interesting and it is really cool UAH helps trains teachers and sends representatives to help teachers with them.
Daily Genius:
It is interesting how they use cast technology in the classroom. Apple TV looks like a real replacement for ELMO and other products however, it appears you have to be within the Apple ecosystem to benefit from it and sadly I am not. It would have been interestingto see if you could do something similar with Google chromecast and docs.
Apple TV Wikipidea:
It is interesting to see that Apple TV has been around since the iphone. I thought it as a much more recent development. It is also interesting to see the different ways it has evolved since then.
Instructional Tech Talk:
As the author mentioned ipad mirroring looks like a great way to cheaply make due without an interactive smartboard. It does mean you need to be in apples ecosystem which can be a pretty large barrier to entry. The author ignores this point.
Utilizing the technologies:
I think Plickers would be a great way to get more quiet students involved with the class. Unlike some of the other online quiz systems, Plickers gives the teacher control over students names and what they see. Apple TV would be useful if I was an apple person.
