Information:

This activity, set over one 80 minute class period, is intended to serve as an introductionto using the iPad 2 as a media recording device. The teacher will have an iPad 2 for

demonstration purposes and students will be assigned an iPad 2 with the following Apps

loaded using Apple Configurator for the purpose of todays lesson: iPhoto, Camera, AudioMemos Free.

Activity:

Instruction: (25 minutes)The teacher will introduce the iPad 2, and guide students through the Camera App, iPhoto,

and Audio Memos Free using an iPad 2 for demonstration purposes. Students will followalong with their iPad 2s. This is a great opportunity to answer questions on the fly and

have students experiment with hands-on use of the iPad 2.

1. Review sensible best care instructions (cases, scratch shields, cleaning)2. Introduce Basic Functions - Home Button, Slide to Unlock, orientation (landscape

vs. portrait), using Lock Rotation via the Side Switch, launching apps, turning off theiPad 2, rebooting the iPad 2.

3. Introduce the Camera App - switching between still and motion, switching betweenfront and back cameras.

4. Introduce the Audio Memos Free App - Recording, Playing, Sending audio notes viaEmail.

5. Introduce iPhoto with a focus on using the app to enhance photos - using Camera

Roll, Tiled View, Help, Share, Information, Edit (Crop & Straighten, Exposure, Color,Brushes, Effects, Auto Enhance, Rotate)

Activity and Investigation: (25 minutes)

Students will be given time to work independently, or in groups, to record still and motionimages and audio notes. This activity can take place in or outside the classroom as

recording audio notes does require a quiet area in order to achieve effective sound capture.

During this time the teacher will be roaming and engaging with students providing feedbackon their test examples and assisting and answering questions when needed.

Extension Assignment (20 minutes)

Using the computer, projector, and StarBoard, the teacher will review the purpose ofthe Extension Assignment (gathering content for future use) and highlight the items

that students will need to record outside of regularly scheduled class time over the next

week (Content Checklist). Ultimately, the content recorded will be used in a multi-mediaassignment introducing the student to their classmates and will be used as reflection piece

at the end of the semester as we look back at your initial impressions and experiencesduring your first week as a Senior at ASK.
