IPad use for Deaf students

I am looking for apps for a new iPad I am receiving. My search results do not pertain to deaf student needs and tend to lean towards sign language instruction which they do not need. Any ideas for visual apps used in instruction or apps that can be used for aural training?

Hi deafed,
Here's a blog post that I did and within it, is a link to a Google spreadsheet with 200+ apps pertaining to things like sign language, listening therapy and accessibility: http://tinachildress.wordpress.com/2011/12/21/apps-for-kids-with-hearing-loss/
I hope this is what you're looking for.

  • Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since similar data /application is shared among all of them, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad. And in which case, if anything happens to any of the other iPads I can still recover the data

    Currently, I have 5 iPads used for the same purpose. Since the same data /application is shared among all of these iPads, is it alright for me "Backup" only 1 iPad instead of all 5?  And if anything happens to any my iPads which I have not backed up, I can restore it from the iPad where I have save the Backup. I am hoping by doing so, I will also be able to save some icloud storage space. Let me know if my question is still not so clear to you guys.  Thanks.

    Hello PeachY1234,
    If I understand correctly you'd like to save iCloud storage space by only backing up 1 of the 5 iPads to your account since they are all going to have very similar data and usage. You certainly can do that, but I do have to warn you that any unique data between them would be lost if you had to restore from that one backup made on another iPad so just keep that in mind. If you do need to restore in the future you can use this article to restore that iCloud backup:

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • IPad use for offline PDF submit

    For iPad use, is there yet any way to use the offline PDF formfiller with the active "submit" button to send responses back to the FormsCentral server? Ipad use is key for my field sales team. The "submit" button is missing when the PDF is opened through Adobe Reader (mobile) on the iPad (iPad4 iOS 7.1). Is this because iPads do not have "Flash" and is there any workaround?

    Hi;
    You have two options for "offline" PDF workflow with the iPad.
    One is to use an Acrobat Email workflow, not collecting responses in FormsCentral but adding a Submit button in Acrobat to email the form responses to you.  When users fill out the PDF and click Submit it will queue the email, when online again those emails would be sent and you'd get the responses.
    Using FormsCentral is a little more work in the offline case, see this response from Genevieve where she describes how to do it: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5339644#5339644
    That info aside, the Submit button in a FormsCentral PDF should work fine in Adobe Reader Mobile for iOS.  Are you sure users are opening the PDF in Adobe Reader mobile?  The Submit button would be missing if Preview was used to view the PDF on the iPad.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • Ipad uses for Retirees

    Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Late Night to whoever is out there!
    I have recently been trying to get my parents to take a technological leap, and purchase an iPad. Besides their basic cell phones and television, they have a boulder of a dell desktop pc, which runs slower than molasses, and don't really interact with technology since my dad's atari when he was a boy. They argue the fact that it seems too expensive (they do have wireless internet in their condo so it wouldn't be data fees) and not worth the trouble of having to carry it around, my dad likes to complain if you can't tell by now!
    I think they would really enjoy the ability to face time or skype with my children and my brother's kids, email with us more, among other things to keep them busy.
    I was hoping that I could have some help from others on the discussion board. I want to point out more apps and uses for them in my argument, i know the basic uses and the benefits of touch screen and certain games but am hoping to find cool things that would really make them go "wow".
    If you have any stories of a similar situation, or are of that age and made the jump yourself, it would be great to hear from you!
    Thank you in advance, i hope you are enjoying your summers!

    This is an excellent question. Much would depend on the physical abilities (and age) of the person involved.
    Some may find it easier to type directly on a screen vs a keyboard because of wrist issues.
    Being able to pull the Ipad very close to one's eyes may also be a benefit.
    It is also a lot easier to carry from room to room, but also easier to drop.
    But moving the cursor may be more difficult on the Ipad if one is doing email.
    Some may enjoy being able to review and move through pictures of grandkids on the Ipad easily and then taking them to the neighbor's house to show.
    And the ease of use of apps for newspapers and  news programs may be a benefit.

  • IPad use for both work and personal by leveraging multiple iCloud backups

    I have an original iPad 1 that's my personal iPad.  Since I got an iPhone 5S over a year ago, I almost never use the iPad as it's so frustratingly slow compared to the 5S, and most of the most recent apps don't work on iOS 5.1.1.
    I work for a small consulting firm where a large part of my responsibilities is business development.  2-2.5 years ago, I started occasionally needing an iPad for doing sales presentations of enterprise software.  So, I purchased and expensed a then cutting edge 4th Gen iPad.  For work purposes, I've always kept this iPad nearly completely empty except for essential software. In the past 6 months, I've needed this iPad less and less for said presentations.  I'm down to not even turning it on once a month, and have gone 3 months at a time without touching it.  That said, there's always a chance I'll find out that a week from now I'll need to fly somewhere and do a demo using it.
    I was really hoping iOS 8 was going to enable multi-user support, but obviously it did not.  I'm now pondering the use of iCloud backups as an effective means of multiple user functionality when you don't have to switch user accounts very often.
    My thinking is that I can make sure my personal iPad 1 is fully backed up to my personal 20GB iCloud account, and that the work iPad is fully backed up to the work iCloud account.  I'd then wipe the work iPad, log in to it using my personal iCloud account and let it restore from there.  At that point I'd be using the work iPad for personal use and would completely stop using the iPad 1.
    If I found out I needed to demo using the iPad a week later, I would wipe the iPad 4 clean again, after which I'd log in to the work iCloud account, let it restore, and be good to go.  Once done the presentation, I could then wipe it, log back in to my personal iCloud and let it restore.
    Every time I found myself needing to use the iPad for work purposes I would simply go through the above process.
    My questions are:
    Are there are any holes in my logic? 
    Am I risking data loss on either the work or personal account? 
    I assume iCloud accounts can exist with backups intact even if no device is currently utilizing them?Is there any time limit to this?
    Besides the time it takes to wipe and restore the iPad, are there any downsides to the above process?
    Is there any reason I cannot wipe my iPad 1 and sell it/donate it? 
    Thank you in advance.

    Ah, MBA makes more sense.  Unfortunately, the point of demoing on the iPad is to explicitly show that the enterprise software is iPad compatible and what it looks like on it.  Everyone's a skeptic, so I definitely have to use the actual iPad and not emulation software.
    As far as overwriting a backup, I would think that the only backups ever visible would be those for the account i'm currently logged in as.  I don't see how it's plausible then to overwrite any in the wrong account.  Again, these are 100% separate accounts that have nothing at all connecting them.  If it were possible, wouldn't the people who sell their iDevices on ebay be complaining about how the recipients deleted their iCloud backups.  I'm effectively transferring the device in the same way...just between by own 2 disconnected accounts instead of 2 humans with 2 disconnected accounts.
    I don't really view it as a time drain, as when switching accounts I'd just "Reset all settings," and walk away.  I'd later log in as the other user, and would walk away again while the iPad just automatically starts loading everything up.  I'm not sitting there waiting for it, as this is merely a luxury device that I've never once had an immediate need for.  It's just a "nice to have."
    Again, this transfer would likely only be happening once every 6 weeks anyway.  The majority of the time it would be set up on my personal account.
    WiFi is no issue, as I'd only do this while at home on my 50/50 FiOS.  Again, I never "need" the iPad on my personal account such that waiting until I return home from a trip would be an issue.

  • IPad Mini or iPad 3 for a Student Journalist/Blogger ?

    Seeing the iPad Mini made me wonder if it would be a more affordable better choice. I am a third year university student currently taking a hiatus off uni for about four to five months. In this period I would like to build my portfolio as a writer and blooger.
    The thing is I am new to writing and do not know what functions I would need exactly in a tablet.
    Thing I will need to be able to do with it
    Take quick notes when interviewing people
    Take pictures/video (decent quality for blogs)
    tweet
    upload media
    Blog (wordpress.com)
    Watch movies (sometimes)
    I will not be using it to do wordprosessing, e.g writing full articles on my blog.
    The iPad Mini seems much more affordable but the retina display of the fourth generation iPad is pretty attractive too.
    Another question I have how do I decide if I would need 4G cellular coverage or a simple wifi system. I do use the internet on the go, but what is the average cost of using the data sims in SIngapore? (I am currently overseas but moving back to Singapore on Monday)
    Are these data plans on pre-paid too ?
    If I install pages onto my macbook pro, does it automatically install pages into the iPad or would I have to buy another version for the ipad?
    Would love to hear from you guys, to see what you think I should pick..

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    Since you don't plan to wordprocess, I would go for the mini. However, using a Bluetooth keyboard, I find wordprocessing to be equal to a laptop. You could use the Apple BT keyboard with the mini.
    Wait and buy the iPad in your home country. Otherwise you will likely have warranty issues of Apple requiring you to send the iPad to the country of purchase.
    Data plans differ by cellular company. You would need to inquire in the country where you intend to use the iPad. Some prepaid SIM cards include cellular data.
    Pages for the Mac is not for iOS. If you want Pages on the iPad you must buy the iOS version seperately.

  • Does anyone know about iPad use for Patients diagnosed with ALS ?

    My Mom was recently diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease) and has lost her voice. She has been using my sisters iPad to communicate. And I want to thank Apple for creating such a great device, but I want to know if anyone out there has had any experience or knows of any ALS patients who have used an iPad for primary communication. Thank you.

    You might start with contacing any local or national ALS support organizations. I would think they would be a better source of specific use information that this forum. A response here is likely to be more hit and miss than anything else.

  • I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

    Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

    I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
    What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
    I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
    Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

  • I am an English teacher, and my school just bought iPads for my students and me. I want to use Dropbox for file sharing and to be able to edit their work on my iPad so that my students will be able to open their work from Dropbox and see my corrections.

    I would like my editing marks and comments to save in Dropbox in a contrasting color. The students will then need to be able to open the document and make corrections, then save again to Dropbox. Thanks for any ideas!

    Thanks, everyone, for these helpful suggestions. Before we got the iPads last week, we were saving compositions from desktops onto the school server. There was not a problem with the students seeing other students' files, so I didn't password protect them, but there was the issue of copying all their work onto a thumb drive so I could grade it at home. I like accessing files in the cloud much better. Under the previous system, I was also printing out their work and marking it up for the students to correct before I put it on our class web site. Now under this new system, I would like to go paperless, sharing my digital revisions with the students as they perfect their work before I put the final products online. This usually takes 3 or more revisiosns. So far, I have tried the following apps: Quickoffice, Documents to Go, Writeup, Plaintext, Pages, Essay, and Droptext. The students and I have no trouble saving into and retrieving from Dropbox, but there is no good way so far for me to edit their work in color so that they can open up the file and see my comments in order to make their revisions. I do have this capability on my laptop and desktop by using the redlining feature in Word. It's just that I'd rather be able to use my iPad for this purpose. I will check out Evernote.

    Mike,
    If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
    Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
    Quit LPX
    Open Finder
    Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
    Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
    Now Restart your Mac.....
    and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
    Fingers crossed...

  • How to set up several iPads using same apple id for classroom? The 1st one did great and the rest will not load any apps??

  • How can I manage multiple iPads for different students?

    Problem: I need to manage multiple iPads for my students with special needs. I need to download different apps to different iPads and I'm not sure how to keep their apps separate but still keep ultimate control of the units (i.e. lock them from loading anything on the apps that we at the school district haven't approved).
    I need to be the only one doing updates, loading software, etc., and don't want to keep using my own personal iTunes account...any suggestions?

    If the presenter is using a computer and everyone else has an iPad this is very easy and free. Just use http://join.me and on the iPad just download their free app

  • Why can't I download Pages, Keynote,  and Numbers for free even though I got my Mac and iPad mini as a student?

    I bought my Macbook Pro and iPad mini at the Palisades Mall, New York location and was told that I can get those same apps for free on my Mac. I have been using my iPad mini for assignments and have never been able to download Pages, Keynote or Numbers on my Macbook Pro, despite having the same Apple ID and having all of these apps on my iPad Mini.
    I don't know the exact day I got my Macbook Pro, but I have the serial number and I know the month and year I purchased it.
    Yes, I got the student discount on both items, but the apps are only on my iPad mini.

    iOS and OS X versions of these apps are entirely different apps. Getting one free doesn't entitle you to the other.
    Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

  • I have one apple ID for my MAC and another used for both my iPhone and IPad.  Purchases from iTunes don't appear on either my iPhone or iPad only only the MAC. How do I sync the two IDs?

    I have one Apple ID for my MAC and iTunes account and another that is used for both my iTunes and iPad.  When I purchased music from iTunes using the Mac ID, the music isn't available on my iTunes or iPad.  Neither lets me change my ID so how do I fix this issue so I can play the music on all three?

    Hello chlanli
    You would need to use one Apple ID for purchases in order to get them across all of your devices and computer. If you want you can use one Apple ID for purchases and the other one to sync personal data. The article below will explain further.

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.
