HC generated iPad tips and notes

• The default video recording app in the iPad makes huge video files that are hard to move and work with and probably better quality than you need. So check out the Video Camera + app:

• Ways to get photos out of your iPad

• Faculty iPad users, ask to be put in the Moodle "iPad" class if you want links to more educational uses with iPads

• To change from the default iPad signature which is just advertising for Apple

• When a PC plays your iPad videos on their side or upside over

• iPads and Google

• Suggestion: Add the apps, Gmail, Gdoc, Gdrive

• Using Reflector to "broadcast" your iPad to the classroom computer

• Note If after turning on Reflector on the classroom PC, you don't see it on your iPad.. turn on "airplane mode" and then turn it off again to reconnect to the network

• Note: Generally a PC's USB jacks will not have enough power to charge your iPad, or if they do it will be very slow. Use the iPad charger or a Mac's USB to charge it

Apps recommended by HC Fac/Staff (email Gary if you have one to suggest)

Apps shared at Oct 14, 2014 iPad users group

• • We talked about the default iPad calendar program, but Amy B likes the Sunrise app

  • While there are many apps to save data, only use Google Drive to store HC data. You can keep personal data on programs like Dropbox if you like, but we now have unlimited storage on G drive.

  • Adobe Reader app for the iPad is the best PDF reader

  • Gary mentioned the apps Video Camera + and Tiny Photo which allow you to use the built in camera's to record lower/smaller quality which is often desirable
