Acquisition Appy-ness for Teachers with iPads

What's one sure way to ensure acquisition abounds in your language classroom?


VISUALS!!!!!  Here's one techie way to provide your learners with a variety of engaging visuals!

Are you a teacher with just one iPads? The Reflector App allows you to wirelessly mirror your iPad onto your desktop in order to project on your white board for whole class viewing! The Reflector App is NOT available in iTunes...it is not an app for your iPad, but rather an app for your computer. It costs $12.99, but in my opinion, it is well worth it!!! It is my new favorite techie tool for teachers!!!

Would you like to learn more? Well, here you go:

First, there's this wonderful blog by +Stephen Lai that will explain the tool. It's called "Teaching with iPad" and it's full of wonderful tips, tricks and app ideas! Here is the blog's homepage. Next there is this helpful link that teaches you how to record using your Reflector app. I have tried it out. You can see the result of my first try below. It records audio, too!!!

Hope you enjoy the Reflector app as much as I am!!!
