George Guba:George Guba, UNC Pembroke. Instructional Designer
Lisa Star:Love my Kindle Fire!
Aaron Carpenter:airserverapp.com
Aaron Carpenter:Thank you!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Should we do another FrLv about Kindle? other new devices?
Ilene Frank:It would be neat to do Android/ Kindle Fire, etc
Steven Grindle:Unless e-readers are included with Ipad and smart phone, I would be hesitant to implement.
Steve Kaufman:one more thing Steve...
Steve Kaufman:just kidding
Aaron Carpenter:try working with him!
Steve Kaufman:ha
Ilene Frank:Steven G , you can run Kindle app on an iPad (for instance), BlueFire Reader and some others.
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:We have a couple of folk working with Kindles here at GTC - so that would be nice... I have an ASUS Google-based tablet (w/ keyboard) and we also have a faculty member here with us today (Heather Forrester) who is building iPad use into her Biology Lab class (has apps & is interested in other apps).
Steven Grindle:I don't use (Ilene) an Ipad so I don't know.
Wendy Stubbs:or maybe divide thi type of a workshop by operating system eventually
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:AC: gain - more info , more SELECTED GOOD apps
Ilene Frank:I'm new to iPad - so I've been trying out reading - because I too LOVE my Kindle
Wendy Stubbs:is alway glad to learn what others are doing with app
--------------------------------------------
2. Fundamental Questions Intro - informal discussion a few Apps
[THIS IS WHERE WE BEGAN A FEW MINUTES BEFORE 2PM ET BY ASKING OUR GUEST PRESENTERS TO ANSWER OUR "FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS" - What do you hope to gain? What do you cherish and want not to lose?]
--------------------------------------------
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:SK: use FrLv App exchange to recharge batteries!
George Guba:The iPad handles PDFs well.
Linda Joffe:Do you think these apps are applicable to fully online classes?
Steven Grindle:But if there are no standards for putting stuff on a moble devive, why implement something that requires device specific learning activities?
Wendy Stubbs:good point Steven G.!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:AC: cherish... NOT getting lost! underlying pedagogical values
Beth Kiggins, University of Indianapolis:Who is using the Apple TV or comparable device to connect to flat panels in the classroom?
George Guba:Full online use is something I'd like to explore. If anyone wants to talk about those issues, let me know.
Ilene Frank:Steven G - I'll try to remember to ask your question!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:SK: not lose relationships w faculty, use of LT tech, momentum, ...
Steven Grindle:I most cherish device INDEPENDENT applications!!!!
sharijabe@gmail.com:Has anyone tried the app "Pointer" for iPad? It's free, but I haven't tried it yet.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:WOW... WE HAVE 2 STEVEGs today!
Linda Joffe:I would George!
Maureen Akins:A tool is only an object. It's the way in which the tool is used that is important.
George Guba:I put Genius Scan on my phone, great tool!
Steve Kaufman:so feel free to talk behind our backs... sheesh
Aaron Carpenter:almost a full house!
Steve Kaufman:we're at 100!
Aaron Carpenter:not too much backchannel heckling, please. :-)
Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:ONE HUNDRED!
Steve Kaufman:everyone gets a free car (joking)
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:@Jane, Hi. How was Lilly South?
Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:If for some reason you have to leave, please logout and make a space for someone else.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:wOW - OUR first time in quite a while when we've hit our max login limit!
Steven Grindle:How do I log out? if I should decide to do that.
Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:close the page
Ilene Frank:A MOAC session (Massive online adobe connect) !
Steve Kaufman:ha
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:LOL
Steve Kaufman:Or, you're watching an adobe live with 2 'Moocs'
Ilene Frank:If you have to log on, go up to MEETING and use the exit there
Ilene Frank:I meant log off -
Lorette Pellettiere Calix:Buyt if people log out they probably won't be able to get back in.
Ilene Frank:Lorette, I think you are correct! ;)
George Guba:I'll have to remember no Chrome the next time. Hopefully I won't have any issues.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Last Friday we began to explore the intriguing question: In what ways is/isn't the TLT Group's FridayLive! series a MOOC?
Lisa Star:Thanks Chuck!
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@Sam E (& others)- I got to be at Lilly Greensboro Teaching & Learning Conference in Feb and I thought it was grand this year... inspiring, fun, rich, etc (I even got to do a plenary this year... so it was particularly fun). Ray, Jane & all the UNCG folk did a fantabulous job with it.
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:@Bonnie: glad to hear it was so good.
George Guba:Sorry I missed it this year.
Steven Grindle:Can I minimize "Attendess" so that I can see more of the chat?
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:yes
C:Yes!
Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:Does airserver allow for audio transmission?
Ilene Frank:Steven Grindle, I don't know a way to fiddle with the pods in Adobe Connect

jbrophy@keene.edu:pasted in more than I meant to there. sorry
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:In previous App guy sessions, we found almost all the Apps were multiple platform/device!
C:thanks!
Ruth Hodges: Is this Ashley Till
Ilene Frank:Steve Grindle, does that help answer your question about "device specific"?
Ilene Frank:Many apps are available on more than one platform
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:One of the great values of Evernote is how it makes stuff accessible to the user across devices and platforms.. find and save something once in Evernote then access it almost anywhere easily
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/stack-the-states/id381342267?mt=8
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:http://www.corestandards.org/ Should we have a later session in which we discuss the usefulness of having or amending or avoiding these standards?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:They must be in REAL trouoble!
Steven Grindle:Ilene, it is as good an answer as I can expect given the fluid state of mobile device development
C:If my students call me up late at night, I don't answer the phone :-)
Ruth Hodges:dito
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:https://join.me/
sharijabe@gmail.com:Could someone post the name of each app here as it is discussed?

Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:I love Pearltrees because it will sync between my desktop and tablet
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:audio fine here
Kevyn:yes
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:http://www.pearltrees.com/
Lisa Star:Sort of like a mind map
Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:You can also add other people's pearls to your tree

Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Reminder: you and others will have access to much of this session today via http://tlt.gs/blog and http://tlt.gs/diigo
Lisa Star:Any chance it will transcribe audio?
jan@miami.edu:Can you drop in a video?
Joy Mark:evermeeting is something similar that has a transcription service
Linda Joffe:Can you drop it into an online class, say, in Blackboard?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Compare with Voicethread?
Joy Mark:(although evermeeting doesn't have a "whiteboard" approach like that
Ilene Frank:Here's a nice little review of Notability http://goo.gl/d8tMN
Ilene Frank:I think on VoiceThread it's easier to get someone to answer you!
Ilene Frank:More on Notability http://www.gingerlabs.com/cont/notability.php
George Guba:media slate and ShowMe are a couple more whiteboard apps.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:skyviewfree ????abc???

Jonathan Wilson:It's called "Endless Alphabet"
Aaron Carpenter:endless ABC
Aaron Carpenter:SkyView Free
Jonathan Wilson:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/endless-alphabet/id591626572?mt=8
George Guba:One caveat, I've found my keyboard case blocks the GPS in my ipad.
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:yes - I'm finding endless alphabet also (for iPhone app)
Ilene Frank:George that's a great tip! Thanks! I would have thought all the stars got lost!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Self-fulfilling exercise.... if you can continue finding and using such brain exercise apps, you don't YEt HAVE alzheimers!
George Guba:I was using one of the star programs to find out what planet I was looking at back at Xmas.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:http://www.fitbrains.com/
Aaron Carpenter:socrative
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):can socrative be used for asynchrous courses??
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Can you use that astronomy app to determine what planet you yourself are on? What planet certain politicians are on?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:http://www.socrative.com/
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:11984
Jane Harris:There is a 50-person limit for the free one?
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):Can socrative be used for online courses?? It is asynchorous or synchrounous only??
Wendy Stubbs:I think it i designed for synchronous
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:I just responded to it... so they just proved you can use it during an online class!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Can responders see aggregate or cumulative responses in Socrative?
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):yes but how would that work when the studnets are always waiting for the teacher to start a new session???
Steven Grindle:How do I get into room 11984?
C:Sudden death match!
Aaron Carpenter:open up the teacher software
Aaron Carpenter:then type in the rooom number
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@Steve G - you go to the website sign signin... then you tell it the room number.
George Guba:In class low stakes quizzing!!!
Aaron Carpenter:yes!
Aaron Carpenter:so... Enter as a Student
Aaron Carpenter:then enter room #
Steven Grindle:I cannot figure out the "enter as a student" part
Ilene Frank:Steve Grindle - are you on the Web http://www.socrative.com/
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):can you explain how this app would be applicable in the online enviornment??
Ilene Frank:If it's the app, you get to download the student version, right?
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:This is if you have the app.
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):it sems like the students and instructors have to be logged in all at once
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:If you go onto the website, then you do
Ilene Frank:If you are on the Web, you have a choice how to enter
Lisa Star:If you enter on the website you have to
Lisa Star:but not on the ipad
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:From the web, you have to click on the student link.
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):can you explain how this app would be applicable in the online enviornment??
Beth Kiggins, University of Indianapolis:Do we know who got the answers wrong?
Vanessa Wright (Excelsior College):it sems like the students and instructors have to be logged in all at once
Linda Joffe:"can you explain how this app would be applicable in the online enviornment??"
Jonathan Wilson:You can also go to m.socrative.com, if anyone is hesitant to download another app
Jonathan Wilson:the mobile website looks exactly the same as the app
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:We are now sort of demonstrating our recent "pedagogical stratgegy" of live "designated learner" for instruction in using some social networking and other tools/apps!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:ILENE, MICK, PENNY - DO YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS WE SHOULD CATCH BEFORE 3PM ET?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:So you can have FUN with sequestration???
Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:I have been keeping a word doc with hyperlinks for each app to share however you would like
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@ Vanessa - I think you could leave the polls, etc open and allow the results to be viewed over a multi-hour period. But it is (perhaps) best done live... for that immediacy (as there are other ways to address asynchronys polling - both within LMS and through Google surveys/forms, etc...)
Steven Grindle:Each of these URLs gets you to a very different screen.http://m.socrative.com/lecturer/#lecturerLoginhttp://m.socrative.com/student/#joinRoom
Steven Grindle:Each of these URLs gets you to a very different screen.http://m.socrative.com/lecturer/#lecturerLoginhttp://m.socrative.com/student/#joinRoom
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:if you google "America's Economy App" you get links to several different platform versions of same app!
Ilene Frank:And this app updates, right?
Aaron Carpenter:yes it does
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Penny - easy to add that to DIIGO? definitely as blog post in http://tlt.gs/blog!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:http://docsteach.org/
Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:Steve - I will send you the doc after the session
Dale Parker:I am adding to diigo
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Great - glad to see you were able to login today Dale!
C:I luvs me some Articles of Confederation!
Sally Gilbert, TLT Group:This used to be a set of CDs you could buy.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Note from bleeding edge comment earlier: apparently we now have 101 logged in... 1 over our alleged max capacity!
Ilene Frank:I like Chrome apps a lot!! And they sync so if you are using Chrome on another pc and log in, you get your apps!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/category/app/8-education
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:101% of capacity!!
Wendy Stubbs:i love the chrome app - fun game too for at home!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/graphing-calculator-by-de/bhdheahnajobgndecdbggfmcojekgdko
Aaron Carpenter:desmos graphing calculator
Aaron Carpenter:world history time map
MaryAnne Campo:how did he get to the chrome apps from the browser?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Any of these ways of creating, displaying graphs that use pixels at some level provide a GOOD reason to explain some of the more subtle aspects of the relationship between visual representations and algebraic ones... from former math teacher
Ilene Frank:MaryAnne, you just download the apps and you get a screen full on your browser when you launch Chrome
Aaron Carpenter:the live prview of the equation is a great feature
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Get to the chrome apps from within chrome browser using link i inserted above or just google "chrome apps"
George Guba:Could you use camtasia to capture your show to share wiht students?
C:Oooooohhhhh APA format app??
Ilene Frank:If you get a lot of Chrome apps, you just move on to the next screen of them
Aaron Carpenter:americanessays.com
MaryAnne Campo:thanks
Linda Joffe:@c I WANT IT!
C:Me too!
Ilene Frank:Hmmm.. I don't believe that APA app works very well
Ilene Frank:Don't trust it!
Charles J. Ansorge:Cool
Maida Tilchen:That is incorret, it is showing your first name. APA uses initials only
Maida Tilchen:This is a common probelm with almost all the APA generators. I couldn't see the rest of your ciation to check accuracy.
Sam Eneman, Univ. of North Carolina Charlotte:thanks guys. great session. Happy Ides of March!
Ilene Frank:Maida, there you go! APA and automatic citation generators don't go very well. APA is too odd!
C:It looks like the APA app is from a third party. If APA created their own app, that would be da bomb!
Linda Joffe:Didn't this meeting start with the warning to avoid Google Chrome?
jensenk@boulderlibrary.org:I'm wondering about confirming the authority of the sources/apps.
Steve Kaufman:Yes...
Ilene Frank:Avoid Chrome for Adobe Connect, but do try those apps!
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@Linda - that warning was only about using Chrome for Adobe connect
Maida Tilchen:APA wants everyone to buy their expensive manual
Tamara Stoker:I used Chrome ofr this webinar and it worked great! :)
Lisa Star:Adobe hasn't learned to play nice with Chrome yet!
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:But for apps it's a great way for non iPad/Tablet folk to make use of and explore Apps.
Penny Kuckkahn, Nicolet College:Google Chrome has issues when you are a presenter but not a participant.
George Guba:I didn't have any issues with Chrome either today
Lisa Star:I am using Chrome as well but it has drawbacks if you present in adobe
Tamara Stoker:Great webinar! Thank you!
Aaron Carpenter:glad you could come!
-------------------------------
4. Afterthoughts "Is there an App for this?"
Began 3pm ET. Q&A, more sharing of Apps, more voices heard, ... some challenging questions to presenters! Discussion of what we might include in subsequent "App for That" sessions.
------------------------------------
Linda Joffe:Thanks, Ilene and Bonnie! I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed when it comes to IT!
C:Make the Apr. 5 session a day long seminar!
Ilene Frank:Maida, I'm teaching APA to some grad students right now - and the Publication Manual doesn't work either. <heheh>
SYLVIA NIKOPOULOS:very useful information. Thanks, Sylvia
sharijabe@gmail.com:Thank you for the great app suggestions. I need to go finish downloading them!
Maida Tilchen:But the APA Pub Manual is the authorized source of the rules. IT's just hard to use.
Linda Joffe:Ilene, I direct my students to Purdue's OWL. It's da bom!
George Guba:I hated learning APA on the fly on my own.
Steve Kaufman:I feared APA as well
Wendy Stubbs:Good session and so appreciated!
Steve Kaufman:definitely not the fun part of research
Ilene Frank:Maida all I can figure is that you keep showing them lots of examples
Karron Lewis:Thanks to everyone! This was very iteresting and informative!
Dale Parker:ditto Ilene on APA manual UGH!!
Linda Joffe:Maida, I've never found any distinctions between the APA Pub Manual and Purdue's OWL. Plus, it's free!
Ilene Frank:The Purdue Owl is oK!
Dale Parker:OWL is understandable
Maida Tilchen:All I"m saying is that Chrome ap for APA does not give a correct citation. Nor does EBSCO nor Word versions, I don't think.
Linda Joffe:Steve, APA can be torture to learn--but, it provides me with job security!
C:Maybe Purdue OWL could create citation apps.
Maida Tilchen:I complained to EBSCO and they said they couldn't fix it.
Dale Parker:They all have tobe double checked with a brain
Maida Tilchen:I'm talking about EBSCO's automatic APA citation generator.
C:EBSCO = too big to fix
Ilene Frank:Yeah - APA has those bizarre capitalization rules - that seems to throw things off.
Maida Tilchen:EBSCO said that's how they get data from the publishers. But I don't see why software can't make a set of rules to change the incoming data.
George Guba:For Chrome apps, can you capture your "show" with camtasia?
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:There was the question about using socrative in an online environment.
Wendy Stubbs:you can share dektop in camtaia so I think o George
Lisa Star:My question was - how did you present using the two ipads?
Ilene Frank:George, you should be able to do a screencast with Camtasia or whatever.
Steve Kaufman:@Lisa- AirServerApp can allow you to share up to 4 devices on screen
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:Also: MaryAnne Campo: how did he get to the chrome apps from the browser?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:AC: If you have a need... there probably IS an App for that!
George Guba:With airserver, I think you could also capture using camtasia as it shows on your screen
Aaron Carpenter:that does work
Aaron Carpenter:we've done screencasts of screencasts before
George Guba:Very cool!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:SK: Using tech ... think asbout your learning objectives.. or what you want to help them learn..
Lisa Star:One nice thing is that technology seem to be getting more rewarding and less painful - fewer blue screens of death!
Aaron Carpenter:amen to tht Lisa!
C:We hear you!!
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Did someone give Steve Grindle mic permission or have we discovered a new setting?
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:That's why it's good to have the Chrome App option... as it is browser-based, rather than device based.
Maureen Akins:Do you know of an app that will create a timeline of events that is proportionately spaced? That is, if the time between events is 5 years and another is 10 years, the lines between 5 years is one distance and the spacing for the ten years is double that distance.
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Someone else want to use Mic now to ask a question or make a comment?
Ilene Frank:Kindle Fire is starting to get lots of apps
Lisa Star:Most mainstream release on one platform but they do filter to both if they are popular
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Is that why you married her? Her kindle? hope not... entirely!
Aaron Carpenter:she makes great baked goods for teh office
Bonnie Oldham:What about the Google Chrome Book?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:SK: What should i buy? What do you want to do with it?
Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:We have a kindle and i now find that i'm reading more often on my ipad or most recently on my iphone ... using kindle app!

Steve Gilbert, TLT Group:Flipboard more than just a "pretty" face!

Linda Joffe:I'm an online writing instructor. What apps would be most appropriate for me to use in my classes?
MaryAnne Campo:cool-that was my question :)
Maureen Akins:Ability for students to create timelines
Steven Grindle:Great survey of cool apps. "Easy and quick" is great when what I have to teach is easy and quick. However, most of what is taught in higher education is challenging and takes time, motivation and repetition.
Linda Joffe:No!
Linda Joffe:Interactive writing programs perhaps?
Ilene Frank:How about grammar apps?
C:Information literacy, source evaluation interactive app?
Linda Joffe:Ooh! I have the same one! But, how will it help my students become better writers?

Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:@Linda - Don't know my apps for writing, but have a lot of good luck with Google Docs for collaborative writing and peer review/editing.
Tom Becker:Hello - just joined late. Is there a class survey app like survey monkey designed to use cellphones?
Linda Joffe:Thanks, Bonnie! I'll check it out.
C:I use a bluetooth keyboard regularly. I can hand it to a student and have them demonstrate at the front of the room.
Bonnie Mullinix, TLT Group:Writing requiress the interaction (and often collaboration), so the ability to sign in and work together is good. (There are learning softwares out there that have some great tracking/reporting features - Writing Class (Bedford St. Martin's is good).
