We here at <a href="http://www.esu8.org/" target="_blank">ESU 8</a> have many resources for our teachers to utilize both at school and at home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The easiest way to access them is by going to our <a href="http://www.esu8.org/" target="_blank">ESU 8 homepage</a>. I'd recommend using <a href="http://snap.esu8.org/tomms2/index.php/snap/login/index" target="_blank">SNAP</a>, our search engine to search not only our tangible items that can be checked out, as well as items from World Book and Learn 360.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://snap.esu8.org/tomms2/index.php/snap/login/index" target="_blank">SNAP</a> requires a login which is available by contacting <a href="http://www.esu8.org/" target="_blank">ESU 8</a> by phone (402-887-5041) or email (<a href="mailto:media@esu8.org">media@esu8.org</a>). </div>

Taking risks. Do you ever think about those things? We all do at some point. It's interesting as several quotes and articles have landed in front of me today from various places. I'll share the general ideas.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><b><i>You can't move forward with old mindsets.</i></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
We are about to start a new school year. We should always be learning and trying new things. It's not a good thing to always teach or approach our position the same way year after year. If technology isn't your 'thing' then try implementing it into your classroom this year. Start small. Build on it. Go talk to a teacher who is already using <span class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="5c85af03-4e0e-4973-a8a6-aff91f20cd68" id="5d6c2ef1-8620-4d36-be92-ddc253e676e7">technology</span> and ask for advice.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>If you wait for the stars to align, it may never happen.</i></b></li>
</ul>
<div>
We all wait for the stars to align, don't we?! Some of us more than others. Well, we may be waiting a long time. This relates back to the previous paragraph about moving forward. If we wait to move forward (since we are waiting for star alignment), we wait and wait <pause dramatic="" effect="" for=""> and wait. The question then becomes how do we balance the risk of trying something new and keeping things the way they are? What if the risk becomes the best thing ever to happen to you? What if we wonder why we didn't try this or that years ago? </pause></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li><b><i>Get a new vision (for yourself).</i></b></li>
</ul>
To 'get a new vision' we have to refer back to the first two statements. To move forward, change something, try something. Don't wait for star alignment. Just do it (I think some company may have coined that phrase already).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what do you think?</div>
<div>

Yes, I know making a table of contents isn't that exciting. I get it. However I think it depends on how it gets used.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's how to do it.</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Format - Heading - Apply Heading</li>
<ul>
<li>Hint: The text from the Heading is the table of contents. </li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjUcmC4JJEnAVCohcFA3un7yWG-bScDEnABFi_CQKxo1IqI0leEFWZTQ4LjWMRKoeEX69ohY9F8QwMWpWhCfMglSHZMsNhMFyinmM-ycGXRxoDgOG9i6xjxZjDoIwvypax7qB5_UysXg/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-08-05+at+9.12.37+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtjUcmC4JJEnAVCohcFA3un7yWG-bScDEnABFi_CQKxo1IqI0leEFWZTQ4LjWMRKoeEX69ohY9F8QwMWpWhCfMglSHZMsNhMFyinmM-ycGXRxoDgOG9i6xjxZjDoIwvypax7qB5_UysXg/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-08-05+at+9.12.37+AM.png" height="300" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Note below, "Meeting Notes - August, 2014" is my Heading, which will be my first entry to my table of contents. I've taken some notes from my meeting and now (pretend with me) that it's next month and I have another meeting with more notes. I don't want to create another Google Doc and share it again so I decide to use the same document to continue my notes.</li>
<ul>
<li>My notes will get long if I'm going to use the same document all year long. This is where the table of contents will help navigate the long document.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1X6tgfw4zr_YBNGZyMmyGtwRTOLlMAQ0A79P8yhMSQkjaL9KzanucK0rburxx0L_tTqZ-vS04br3FDapwSC5fbNlcKhCDUizaTOCEm_G_9lS1j19vFElUQicKxdrEXbz7InibNNbbDoI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-08-05+at+9.23.02+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1X6tgfw4zr_YBNGZyMmyGtwRTOLlMAQ0A79P8yhMSQkjaL9KzanucK0rburxx0L_tTqZ-vS04br3FDapwSC5fbNlcKhCDUizaTOCEm_G_9lS1j19vFElUQicKxdrEXbz7InibNNbbDoI/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-08-05+at+9.23.02+AM.png" height="378" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>So I have (2) headings, created by going to Format - Paragraph styles - Heading 1 - Apple Heading 1</li>
<ul>
<li>Those headings are "Meeting Notes - August, 2014" and "Meeting Notes - September, 2014"</li>
</ul>
<li>Now I'm ready to put my table of contents into action.</li>
<ul>
<li>I maneuver to the top of the page and place my curser where I want the table of contents to reside.</li>
<ul>
<li>Insert - Table of contents</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>

Am I right or am I right? We love to log into another computer (in this case we're logging into Google) and all of our gmail, contacts, calendars are available. However, when we are on our iPhone or iPad, we want our contacts, our calendars and our mail as well. Right?! Well, this doesn't necessarily just happening on your iOS devices. Let me give you an example of a scenario that just might help you out.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, please note that in this scenario (for the calendar) the issue was that the iPad user couldn't see a calendar that another person shared with them. It just wasn't showing up on their iPad. The user could see their own calendar, but not any of the shared calendars. So when you get to the calendar section, keep that in mind.<br />
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So here's the scenario:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I have new iPads I'm setting up</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The users of these iPads have Google accounts</li>
<ul>
<li>The Google contacts and calendars <i>aren't</i> showing up on their iPad...and that's an issue</li>
</ul>
<li>First, the Contacts:</li>
<ul>
<li>Go to: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Add Account... > Other > Add CardDAV Account</li>
<ul>
<li>CardDAV</li>
<ul>
<li>Server: google.com</li>
<li>User Name: your user name (your gmail address)</li>
<li>Password: your password</li>
<li>Description: whatever you want</li>
<ul>
<li>*IF* you are having issues with the setup, check the Advanced Settings and make sure that you have on 'Use SSL' and that the Port is 443</li>
</ul>
<li>After doing this, your Contacts app on your iPad should have your Google Contacts loaded.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Next, the Calendar</li>
<ul>
<li><b><i><span style="color: red;">On the iPad</span></i></b> (using Safari or whatever web browser you have) go to this address: <span style="color: red;">google.com/calendar/iphoneselect</span> and then you'll be asked to sign into your Google account.</li>
<li>After signing in, you'll see any of your Google calendars that you've created as well as any calendars that have been shared with you.</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<br />
<ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul><ul>
<li>Check any calendars that you want to view on your iPad</li>
<ul>
<li>Be sure to look at your 'Shared Calendars' (if you have any shared calendars)</li>
<ul>
<li>If you wish to see them on your iPad, be sure to check them</li>
</ul>
</ul>
<li>Touch SAVE at the bottom of your screen</li>
</ul>
<li>Here's what I found interesting. When I went to the iPad to check out the calendars...they weren't there! </li>
<ul>
<li>So I ended up deleting the Google account on my iPad: Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, (then I selected the Gmail account) Delete Account</li>
<ul>
<li>Then added the account back again. After adding the account back again, the shared calendars could be seen</li>
<li>I don't know if that's always the case, but it was for me in this instance</li>
</ul>
<li>Be sure to turn on 'Calendars'</li>
</ul>
</ul>

It is so nice when the data has a visual and in this case, audio. Watch <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/05/sports/olympics/the-100-meter-dash-one-race-every-medalist-ever.html?hp" target="_blank">this short video about how Usain Bolt</a> compares to every Olympic medalist in the 100. Then, think about how to make your own data a little more interesting to others looking at it. There are similar videos for the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/04/sports/olympics/bob-beamons-long-olympic-shadow.html" target="_blank">long jump</a> and <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2012/08/01/sports/olympics/racing-against-history.html" target="_blank">100-meter freestyle</a>.<br />

It's a website called "iftt.com" which stands for "If This Then That". Why is this awesome? Let me tell you.<br />
<br />
Fact: I use Twitter.<br />
<br />
Fact: I save sites to Diigo.<br />
<br />
Fact: I tweet the sites I save to Diigo.<br />
<br />
Fact: I would like to have a site that would automatically tweet for me...and therefore, save me a step.<br />
<br />
Fact: This is the site that can do that.<br />
<br />
<br />
So play this out: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I see a site that I wish to share. I save it to my Diigo account.</li>
<li>I then go to Twitter and tweet the site - copy / paste the url, write something, etc.</li>
</ul>
<div>
Well, by using IFTTT, I can go from two steps to one.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
IFTTT lets me create "tasks"...and these tasks are the automation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's my first task using IFTT.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here's what it says.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(IF) I save something to Diigo</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(THEN) use Twitter to tweet it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried it...and it worked.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the tweet (see below)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There are many tasks, or combination of tasks for IFTTT to create. When used correctly, this makes the user more efficient...by saving steps...which equates to time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
You know, I think I will see if I can take a blog post (using Blogger) and see if I can get IFTTT to tweet out to my followers when I have a new post.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So what do you think? Can this site save you time? Let me know how you might use it or how you already are using it!</div>

How many of these features are present in our world now? How does the iPad somewhat resemble some of this? I realize it's not to this level yet, but with Siri and other developing voice technologies, how far off is this? Just watch...and think. <br />

The Musical (Watch it)This video has meaning because it speaks to the world we live in...a world of sharing. In many cases, kids are asked on a daily basis, to turn off devices. Then immediately after school they "power up" and begin to share and collaborate. Don't ask your students or teachers to "power down" in school. Learn to use these applications (many of them mentioned in this musical)...<br />

<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coachs-eye/id472006138?mt=8" target="_blank">Coach's Eye</a> looks interesting. For starters, it's only $0.99, which is doable. This app for your iPhone works with the built in camera to record video of the player. It then also allows for scrubbing through the recorded video and add audio comments (voice narration) as well as telestration. I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you know what I find out.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04277483968309839891noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373386599808457279.post-45519354007593218622011-11-04T09:25:00.003-05:002011-11-04T10:13:58.699-05:00Auto-grading: Let Flubaroo Grade For You<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
