How to use an iPad to add voice comments to grading

The app they’re using is called iAnnotate PDF, which, well, is an annotation app for PDFs. I normally wouldn’t recommend an app that costs $10 [foreshadowing], but in this case it’s absolutely worth every penny. Imagine having students submit work via a Dropbox folder, then annotating and sending it back to them via email. Simple, paperless, and stronger feedback than simply writing.

(by dbward2119)

LJ Digital: This is really handy. My biggest problem with iPads and ereaders in general is that it is difficult for me to annotate. It’s typically possible but it’s never as quick as just jotting a few notes in the margin of a print book. The voice notes and zoom-in features are definitely helpful. I’m slowly losing my vision. I’m being swayed. What do you think?

Should Journalism Educators Get With The Times?  LJ Digital: Yes. Of course it is important to teach the classics and learn how to be a traditional journalist so that modern skills can build on a solid foundation but for professors to neglect to teach how to be a journalist in the 21st century is foolish. As a journalism student at the University of California, Irvine, I find that what my professors have been doing is just perfect. There are specific classes to teach different styles of journalism available to those whom wish to take them. There are feature writing workshops taught by Miles Corwin, traditional reporting classes taught by Amy DePaul, travel writing courses taught by Amy Wilentz, a reconstruction workshop taught by Barry Siegel, and many more. But most importantly, UCI started a journalism in the digital age class taught by Erika Hayasaki where this very blog was born. It’s imperative to teach both. So for you journalism professors out there, teach your students how to blog if they don’t already run a handful of their own. It teaches consistency and has the ability to generate tons of exposure.  (photo courtesy of driveninternetmarketing.com)

COMPARE EDUCATION APPS

gjmueller:

You probably saw the title of this post and thought ‘okay there’s no friggin’ way anyone’s going to assemble a list of the best 50,000 education apps. But thanks to a partnership between Edudemic and FindTheBest, we’ve done just that. We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to build a robust directory of, as of this writing, about 56,000 education apps. But it’s not just a list… it’s a finely tuned directory capable of sorting out all the apps in ways not even available in the iTunes or Mac App stores. For example, you can now find out the average price of all education apps to see where your app falls.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? BOOKMARK AND SHARE AND REBLOG AND USE this awesome resource! :)
