iPad Pro Ideas on using the iPad Pro for teaching?

[riverer]

I have an Ipad air but I'm thinking of getting an Ipad pro 9.7 for the start of term.
I use:

Skitch- take a photo of students work, airplay to the whiteboard using a school laptop with airserver on it, then I get students to highlight parts of the work thats displayed on the ipad e.g. key words, the point, the development or whatever.

Plickers- I use this with my phone, but I have it logged in on the ipad and I give it to students who have finished work to create questions for the rest of the class to do later.

Love Plickers. So much better than Kahoot. But my favorite is still ZipGrade.

Thanks for posting this, I'd never heard of it and just been checking it out- looks very handy! I teach religion and philosophy so multiple choice questions take a bit of thinking to come up with, tech like this makes me wish I was teaching maths.

Tell me about it! I teach foreign language, so theoretically only 1/3 of my questions should be multiple guess.

Not a teacher, but a student in a campus that is equipped with Apple TVs. When in my statistics class I have totally casted my GoodNotes screen to the projector in class to do an example. So far I have only done it once but every room on the campus has an ATV so I'm sure it will come up again. Good use. Wish the teachers would use the functions more with like an iPad as a whiteboard solution that is very interesting way to learn and seems much more efficient than a "smart board" like we had at my high school.

In this case, I think you are better off scanning your students' work as pdf documents instead, and opening them in a pdf app like Notability or PDF expert. Photo annotation tools are not designed for extensive annotating purposes. Consider picking up the Apple Pencil as well, it really makes writing much easier.

I am curious what apps the teachers out there are using in their classrooms. Care to share your setup?

I'm particularly interested in those that involve the use of Apple Pencil and equation writing.

I've just about finished the beta cycle for an app I call MemryStax. I think of it as the notecards Harry Potter would have used at Hogwarts. It essentially creates a two-sided, handwritten notecard environment on the iPad Pro, with tools to quickly sort, shuffle, flip, mix and reset the collection of information under review.

Details will be available soon at www.memrystax.com. I have uploaded a couple of screen shots to give you some idea what we've built. Very simple for now with many enhancements planned for future releases.

Looking forward to using the app. Let me know if you need any beta testers.

I am a special education teacher in a high school team teaching situation. I use Notability to take notes in class. These are saved automatically to my Google Drive and I can easily send them to other teachers or students. I use Scanner Pro to scan handouts given to students then bring them up in PDF Expert and fill in the correct answers for a key. I have annotated pdfs of my students IEP's via PDF Expert and take notes at IEP meetings in Notability. I can't say enough about the iPad Pro. It lets me be paperless, effortlessly share notes/documents, and greatly decreases the amount of materials I have to carry to class and home each day.
