Jeremy Dorn commented on Beau Barrett's blog post UPAD:What You Need To Save Paper!"Not at all. Sharing knowledge and helping find better tools is I believe part of why this Ning was created. Thank you very much for bringing up UPAD. It will be far better for my (and likely others) use at the elementary school level."

Jeremy Dorn commented on Beau Barrett's blog post UPAD:What You Need To Save Paper!"Playing with it the Lite and then the paid version a bit. Good upgrade path from UPAD to Note Taker HD. UPAD is by far cleaner with fewer things in the way. I'd thumbs up for this on 2-5 possibly 2-7 give how some middle school students can be…"
Beau Barrett commented on Beau Barrett's blog post UPAD:What You Need To Save Paper!"Note Taker HD? I am going to need to check this out. You are right when you say having a diverse "Export" feature is important. Thanks for the tip!"
Jeremy Dorn commented on Beau Barrett's blog post UPAD:What You Need To Save Paper!"It seems like a better (read cleaner) UI then NoteTaker HD, at least from a kid perspective.

The iPad app "UPAD" has probably the most potential of making us truly paperless. UPAD allows you to take typed or handwritten notes, edit uploaded pictures with multiple pen colors, create your own documents from preloaded templates, or importPDF's to create your own templates.So far, I have used UPAD for students to take spelling tests, complete Everyday Math master sheets, proofread and edit their writing, draw on photos they have taken, and send all of it to parents via Email.

The way I create folders on my classroom iPad is by organizing them with a student focus in mind. For example; I created folders labeled "Free Write" and "Free Math" so students know what they are allowed to use when they are finished with their writing or math assignment.
I also create specific folders for lessons or units of study. The folder labeled "Earth" on our classroom iPad was created for small group work. Students had the task of answering the question, "Why are we able to…
