IWeb in the Classroom

this is the thread..i'm in search of a variety of projects and or exercises that could be done in the classroom on iWeb, right now i am looking at implementing this at the secondary school level, however, i am open to primary teaching ideas too
thanks for support, this forum has yielded many answers so far and i am looking forward to any responses i get

WOW! I am impressed with the website, varkgirl! I am also a Florida teacher, and being new to the Mac world, I'm still trying to learn about iLife. Our computer lab has iLife on their Macs, but we've just recently gotten SOME of the classrooms' computers (iMacs) updated to OS X. Before we were on OS 9. I don't have iLife yet on my classroom computers. I do have iLife on my personal laptop that also doubles as my school computer, but I'm not sure of all the bells and whistles yet. Your web pages are definitely worth booking for any serious Mac classroom teacher.
Thanks for sharing!

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

  • Using iTunes and the iPad in the classroom

    One of the schools that I support in our school district recently purchased two iPads.  We need to establish iTunes accounts that do not have a payment method associated with them.  We have setup the devices and are looking forward to downloading FREE apps from the iTunes store.  We have attempted to create our Apple ID in two different manners:
    1.  Go directly to iTunes on the iPad and select a free app.  Click download.  Prompted to setup an account.  Was not presented with the "none" option for payment.
    2.  Went directly into the iPad settings to "iTunes and App Store."  Again, no "none" option for payment.
    Our department does not have access to a credit card nor a gift card due to funding.  I would appreciate any help that the iTunes department can provide to me about how to properly setup these iPads so that our students can utilize them in the classroom.
    Regards,
    Matt

    Greetings fcit@!A,
    After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to select none as your payment type. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information? - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • What accessories are needed to connect my Apple TV to my LCD projector (VGA connectors) in the classroom so that I can mirror my iPad for around the class teaching?

    I have been wanting to project my iPad to my class and the only way I have found is to use the connector. However, I would like to remove myself from in front of the classroom and move around the classroom. This encourages students to take notes and not pass notes. This also encourages them to engage in questioning of the lesson, because the teacher is not far removed from them if they're in the back of the classroom. How can I connect? I've read some forums that discuss converters and many who say it needs to be active or powered, but some of these powered converters are nearly two times the amount of the Apple TV. I wouldn't mind paying if this is the suggested way and it works. I don't want to go through several failed and expensive experiments.

    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (if you are using the Apple TV 2)

  • I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    I open iWeb but the main window doesn't open/appear on screen. The little windows like the inspector and font windows appear. Can anyone help?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    3 - launch iWeb and try again.
    NOTE:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How can I use airplay in the classroom?

    I want to use my iPhone in the classroom via airplay.  How do I do this without having to pay for an airport express?  Can I not just mirror the images wirelessly?

    Hi
    To use airplay you need an airplay capable device such as Apple TV and an iPhone that is 4s or higher, mine is only 4 so I can't access airplay. Once both the Apple TV and phone or iPad are connected to the same wireless notwork you will be able to mirror your screens.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I embed an iCal into iWeb in the new Lion OS/Cloud setup?

    I have found information on how to do this in the old software, but nothing on how to embed an iCal into my website (using iWeb) with the newest OS.  "Publish" no longer exists.

    If iCal can not publish a calendar, then with or without iWeb, the calendar is not available.
    Find another calendar, such as Google's :

    I am a teacher and would like to know how to use the iPad in the classroom?

    Since this is a user forum you might wish to do some Google searching on your topic. There are hundreds of ways an iPad could be used in the classroom both by teachers and students. Apple is very much involved in education so you may wish to look further into their programs, but that is not done on the forums but through Apple's website. For example, Students - Mac, iPod, iPhone, and iPad for college and Education - iPod touch and iPhone enable on-the-go and Education - iPad makes the perfect learning ...

  • I am a teacher that uses the iPad in the classroom.  I have an itunes account setup for my classroom without a credit card listed. Is there anyway for me to purchase apps to use in the classroom with a Purchase Order?

    I am a teacher that uses the iPad in the classroom.  I have an itunes account setup for my classroom without a credit card listed. Is there anyway for me to purchase apps to use in the classroom with a Purchase Order?

    (Being sarcastic - its because only the US is big or important enough to warrant volume licensing....)
    At this time, until Apple decides to release volume licensing structures outside of the US the only solution would be to use your purchase orders with a company that sells the iTunes Vouchers and redeem those.
    However - even then its hard to stay on the right side of the EULA when the terms are all couched in reference to "Personal Use"
    I have spoken to some developers in the past about educational discounts, or even support for proxies, and wasn't really impressed with their answers.   But hey - even Adobe has trouble with proxies and consistent approaches - we can't expect independent developers to be able to match the same capabilities...

  • I recently got an iPad and want to use it in the classroom to teach history and geography,any suggestions of how I can?

    I recently got an iPad and want to use it in the classroom toad in teaching history and geography, any suggestions on how to get started?

    I assume you have a data projector to which you want to connect the iPad. You will need the appropriate lead. Is it written material you wish to display? What programmes is your information on?, eg, PowerPoint, Keynote, Pages, Word PDF's etc. A lot more information is required.

  • The event library and multiple users in the classroom

    Is there any way I can stop the event library loading old footage or footage from another project in imovie. Is there any way i can have 3 or 4 movies on the go in separate files.
    I have ten macbooks for my class of thrity kids. We have two users on the computer Admin and Student. All students use the student side, every time imovie opens it gets old footage and events from iphoto and by the end of each term there is 8 to 10 gigs of footage on the go at any one time. imovie HD allowed save, file open and movement of movies. imovie 08/09 seems brilliant for snow boarders and you tubers but not the classroom. Really we would love an editing package that allows attachment of camera and work for a couple of weeks on a project while others do the same thing on the same mac. Please don't suggest multiple users we have over 200 macs and 600 students.

    Without multiuser, the only of having an exclusive event library for each student would be either external drive, or a blank disk image to store iMovie events. I can imagine a large network drive that has 50GB size disk images for each students. You mount your image to work with your footage.
    By the way you can move event library to other drive within iMovie, so you can back up and disconnect external drive to unclutter event library.

  • ILife for the classroom

    Hi all,
    I'm not real sure which discussion area to post this in, so iMovie is the lucky winner
    I'm a 4th grade teacher with hopes of using iLife in the classroom. I'm also a musician. What I am NOT is a fluent tech person. I'd like to purchase a camcorder of some sort that will work with my MacBook Pro w/Intel and with iMovie/iDVD. I don't know what the difference is between the two, but a Geek friend said that the camcorder should be compatible with both. Any suggestions?
    Also, I have a Roland EM-2000 MIDI keyboard that I'd like to hook up to the laptop and use via the GB. I'd to make some audio books for my listening center. I figured if I could do this with GB, burn the CD, and then I could play it in the boom box for the students. I was told I'd need a MIDI to USB Interface converter w/cables. Someone mentioned M-Audio.
    Any help you could give would be most appreciative.

  • Pages in the classroom

    I teach sixth grade. Would you recommend Pages for students to use to make brochures, pamphlets, reports, magazines, etc?
    iBookG4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Star,
    There are two reasons I think Pages is an excellent choice to use in the classroom: 1) It comes with a bunch of templates that could hardly make creating professional-looking documents any easier. Just drag in photos from the media browser, and they're automatically postitioned and resized so that they fit over the placeholders; and 2) Even if they choose to build documents from scratch, Pages is so easy to use (let's say, after a 15 to 30-minute tutorial) that they'll be doing great work with it far more quickly that they would with other word processors. It's easy to make documents colorful and unique.

  • Dictation in the classroom

    After Easter, I will be starting a project to develop the use of Speech Recoginition software in the classroom (Known as Dictation on Apple Products).  In the early days of this technology (15+ years ago) it was necessary to teach the software to recognise the speaker voice, inflections etc.  The computer developed a profile which constantly developed and was unique to an individual user.  Voice recognition works well on the ipads with no training .... but does it store a profile?
    It is intended that a range of children use each Ipad .... does anyone know how Apple dictation works?  Does it keep a profile of each individual machine .... will it work well if a number of children use each machine.  Has anyone experiece of using this with a class of children?

    It would appear I was wrong.  Your book is referring to this document from Apple:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4992
    "the more you use Siri, the better it will understand you. It does this by learning about your accent and other characteristics of your voice. Siri uses voice recognition algorithms to categorize your voice into one of the dialects or accents it understands. As more people use Siri and it's exposed to more variations of a language, its overall recognition of dialects and accents will continue to improve, and Siri will work even better.
    If you like, you can reset what Siri has learned about your voice by turning Siri off and then back on inSettings > General > Siri."
