I've been trying out the iPads over the holiday and I've had a few thoughts on what apps will work for Unit 37. Since there are lots of different apps to learn, we'll start with just a few for the first assignment.
Assignment LO1 for Unit 37 is about what are Business Ethics and we will be watching some videos, reading some case studies and investigating what is current in the news. I am hoping that this unit will be completely paperless and I hope to get you students thinking about how we can become more ethical in terms of recycling and the use of resources.
Two apps that I would like you to be familiar with by the end of week 1 are Socrative Student and Blogger. Make sure you have these two apps downloaded.
Qrafter is going to be useful too. This enables you to create QR codes for any files, websites, app links or even locations and it will also enable you to read QR codes that I have generated. You'll need a news app like SkyNews or BBC News too.
We are going to be using apps for the majority of the work that we do, but we will also use some familar programs such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint at some points and probably for other units too.
In all, we want you to enjoy using the iPads and we hope that the staff, even Robert, get used to them quickly so that they can be used efficiently and effectively. Let us know if you have any apps that you think we should investigate.
Katie
