Avoid bad apps that sound great, but can cause more problems than solutions. Rocky Shwedel will present several different apps that can enhance collaboration and learning. For example, a Google Doc App that edits the live Google Doc rather than a downloaded version. Now multiple people can access the same doc in class on their iPhones, iPads and laptops. Use AudioNote to take written notes then click on an item and listen to the portion of the recording that was made at the same time! Available on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android? Check out AudioNote. Flashcardlet and other awesome apps to be explored.

Prezi is a web based tool that allows users to create amazing and dramatic presentations with motion and structure. At this workshop, you will learn how to create a slideless, nonlinear, spatial way of illustrating an interactive presentation that will keep your audience engaged!

Have you ever wanted to write over your Powerpoint or Keynote slides to emphasize a point, make a correction on the fly, or just break up the routine? Have you wanted to use a Smartboard but you can’t seem to be assigned a classroom that has one? Doceri is an iPad application that is a remote control for your laptop. Once your laptop (Windows or Mac) is connected to the classroom projector, you can walk around the room with your iPad advancing slides, annotating slides to make them more interactive, break from the presentation to a website, play an movie – all from your iPad. It controls the laptop through a WiFi connection using our existing university WiFi network. You can also use Doceri to diagram on the projected screen just like a Smartboard. You can draw and write on any projected imade, website, map, digital picture, or on one of several backgrounds supplied by the software.Your drawings can be saved for future use. And with a screen capture software, the entire presentation can be recorded (without the need for a webcam) and posted for students to view later.
