Jeremy Dorn commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post Evaluating Apple's Foray into the Textbook Market"The EULA is an inner sting issue and one that should help highlight how much we as a society (and congress) should look at what is allowed in these things. Personally I do hope Apple gets roasted from this as its about as boneheaded as you could…"
Jeremy Dorn commented on Marcus Twyford's blog post Making the device your own"I agree with you. Ever since the first iPad was announced I was grumbling that it wouldn't truly work well in schools. You can likely go back and find my occasional posts out right demanding Apple start putting Admin control for iOS into their…"
Jeremy Dorn commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post AirPlay: The Hidden Gem for Educators in iOS 5"You'd only need Apple IDs if you want to use iCloud for file backup/transfer/storage.
Tested both AirPlay and AirServer (the Mac/PC side of the app), no go on mirroring. Got an email from AirServer support when I asked about adding…"
Jeremy Dorn commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post AirPlay: The Hidden Gem for Educators in iOS 5"AirPlayer, that was it
http://ericasadun.com/ftp/AirPlay/
Saddly I only have one AirPlay capable iOS device on which to test it. :-("
Jeremy Dorn commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post AirPlay: The Hidden Gem for Educators in iOS 5"I remember one of the TUAW weblogers wrote a small untility that would pick-up on AirPlay signals as well. There was another 3rd party paid program that is out there as well. A distant thought would be to try and run multiple instances of these…"
Jeremy Dorn commented on Sam Gliksman's blog post The Top 10 iPad Tools for Information Management"Delete Comment Sorry gotta put double props for GoodReader. Not only for the reasons mentioned, but the WebDAV in major. One thing that hasnt been available yet in a good base level of iOS is quickly moving files between active devices. GoodReaders…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to Eric Mahan's discussion Looking to mass sync over 40 iPads"Oof. I really need to get a hold of an Apple rep for a few hours and yack his or her ear off. Is there a possibility of doing some remote fiddling with management profiles? Push a Profile modification at night that allows App installs, then Push the…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to ldenson8's discussion Numbering iPads"That is brilliant. I will have look into something similar for you school laptops. Perhaps with a bit of personification the student's wont be as apt to pick key's off keyboards.

Jeremy Dorn replied to Eric Mahan's discussion Looking to mass sync over 40 iPads"In a quick look I found Datamation Systems take on iPad Carts. They seem to offer a 40 unit version. There is also a 49-unit hub thing you could use to help build your own custom cart.
I really hope iOS 5 and it's wireless sync…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to ldenson8's discussion Numbering iPads"The iPad wallpaper works much the same as the iPod Touch. One way would be to load a custom background image with the iPad's name/number as part of the image. This background could at base be the school logo/mascot. I would also suggest having…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to Sam Gliksman's discussion School's Controversial Decision to Make iPads 'compulsory'. Do You Agree?"A compulsory portable computer for students in the equivalent of US 7th or 8th grade? Unfortunately the letter has either been pulled or not accessible to IPs in the US. Based on the news article it sounds more like any portable computing device…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to Sam Gliksman's discussion Protect Your iPad Data With a Passcode"General rule in data security is if "they" have physical possession of your device the battle is over. That said a strong (not simple) passcode will help dissuade casual access to your lost device. Also be sure to install Find My iPhone.…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to Steve Dickie's discussion iPads and Cart Arrive Monday... Now What"Before I can really help with suggesting file distributing and upload I'd need to know a bit more about your current network structure and intended use.
What grade(s) will these iPads be used with? Will these be assigned to 30 individual…"
Jeremy Dorn replied to Sam Gliksman's discussion iPads are Consumption Devices. Really?"
Brian if you can show me the easy to use tools for deploying, locking down, and managing Android tablets I'd be happy to start considering them. Favor given to those based on a GUI and as little technical knowledge as possible.…"

iBooks Author and Apples ecosystem of interactive content
Posted on January 24, 2012 at 10:17am 0 Comments 0 Likes
As a follow up to my last blog I though I would share some of the options that are out there to get even the moderately techno-phobish to consider how easy it is to create the kind of supplemental content iBooks2 can support. Not for publication on iTunes mind, but for creating classroom materials.

iBooks Author and the new student report
Posted on January 24, 2012 at 9:00am 0 Comments 0 Likes
I have been poking at iBooks Author since its launch day and have been comparing it to other digital tools I see in use around my school site. It wasn't until my memory was twigged to a grade level team meeting I was asked to attend for trouble shooting that I put a few thing together.
Many of our teachers on staff (especially from 3rd up) have had students do combination writen, typed, presented, and pod-casted reports. The process generally works at our site as follows. You may… Continue

Pages, Keynote, Numbers.
Now iPhones and iPods can get full access to iWork '09 and iWork iOS create files. Personally I'm happy that Numbers is making its way over. Keynote is also something I'm sure people have long wanted to have on an iPhone for presentation uses, plug in the Phone to the projection system and have your iPad for walking…
Continue Anticipating Lion, Multiple iPads using 1 PC
Posted on April 21, 2011 at 3:30pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
With Mac OSX Lion in the works there are many features being thrown around. One that caught my attention right away was Apple finally wising up to the need for a 1st party solution for multiple remote users. This is the same function you can get from a Windows sever and network accounts, the ability for a single machine to host several users at once from remote terminals. All programs run on the server and users just view the screen.
