I gave my iPad to Ryan, an Eisenhower 8th grader. He is sending me reports on his experiences using the iPad. His first report is below. Do note that he did find an App that will enable users to print from the iPad. He tested it his morning and it worked in demo mode. Notice that he sent the report in from the iPad.
Ryan's Report 11/30/2010
Today I:
Researched for an essay in SS and typed some notes into google docs (more on that later)
Did some ETV work
HW:
used kindle app to get my word study words (which I already Highlighted on the kindle/iPhone). Found definitions. Sent to myself for printing (more later).
Typed paragraph and used google translate for French. Sent to myself.
Today I found that google docs was a bit too underdeveloped. I could not delete files, it was having issues saving, so I just gave up. I downloaded the app PlainText, which you can look into.
Also, since AirPrint is really a bummer, I would like to ask for the app Print Magic. I could print to practically any printer at EMS. I did A LOT of research, and I think this app would be best. It is $5 for a limited time.

ReplyDeleteI saw that Ryan was having trouble using the AirPrint feature. You can enable this on all of the printers at Eisenhower by using Printopia http://www.ecamm.com/mac/printopia or AirPrint Hacktivator ([ http://download.cnet.com/AirPrint-Hacktivator/3000-18487_4-75327225.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1d ]http://download.cnet.com/AirPrint-Hacktivator/3000-18487_4-75327225.html?tag=contentMain;contentBody;1d). I personally have not used either one of these applications. What I did was to change files in certain directories. I used this more complicated method because the other applications were not available yet.
