Show Me App

I found an app that will sort of let me use the iPad as a whiteboard and then record the session. It is clunky and demonstrates that what I was hoping to accomplish can be done. At the same time it will not let me post to moodle.

Below is a link to a short test of the app.

There should be a video above, but I can not tell on an iPad.

Or maybe not so useful

When the developers have such a blatant spelling error on the opening screen of an app, I worry about trusting their care in developing the program.

There are apps for moodle!

This may help with trying to develop lectures for a moodle based class.

Theory does not always work in Practice.

I have spent much of the late morning attempting to discover if I could somehow record what I was doing on the iPad with a desktop computer. I think there may be a way to do so on the iPad 2 using an HDMI adapter, but not so with the first gen iPad. It is a bummer because I was going to attempt to find a note taking app which could have functioned as a virtual white board. I have not lost all hope, but my vision does not appear to be, at best, not easily implemented or, at worst, it may not even be possible to execute.

On a more positive note, I have been updating iDevices to the new iOS 5. There are a number of excellent features that have been included in the update. Given the integration with the Lion OS, I may have to consider looking into upgrading my OS. The problem is I really like Snow Leopard and I am not sure how well Lion will work on an older iMac.

RSS reader for iDevices

I have been trying out various RSS readers for the iPad. I like this one, but hate in app ads. It sure makes keeping track of everyone's blog a lot easier.

Partial success

Here are instructions that actually are orientated properly. I think it would also work with a iPod touch or iPhone.

First blog entry from my iPad

Not a total success, but a good first step. My goal is to attempt to see how much of a class can be developed using merely an iPad. I am in the process of determining whether I can use the iPad to capture video using the VGA out cable. If that works, I will attempt to integrate tutorials on the iPad, which I will then attempt to screen capture what I am doing on my desk top computer. Looks like tomorrow will be putting the pieces in place.

As you can see below, I discovered how to screen capture on the iPad, but I am unable to adjust the orientation of the image. I will figure it out later.
