There’s an easier way to really get through to students. It’s time to try out comics in science class if you’re looking for some levity with your gravity lesson.
I love this idea! And with the iPad, the students can make their own comic strip on a science topic so easily! Comic Life, Strip Designer. So many options…

Today was the first day of high school for the grade sevens. We had an orientation session with them where we told them exactly what we expected in terms of their behaviour with the iPad.
Incorporating the lessons we learned with last year’s first 1:1 iPad class here is what they need to do before they enter a class:
We also covered how to use reminders and calendars as an agenda, how to set up your email and some digital communication etiquette, tips and tricks, and points of netiquette.
Next will have to be a more in depth conversation about our social media policy and a discussion on the internet, branding and privacy!

But it didn’t tell me how to make a new folder…
Boo.
But then I found this very à propos tutorial on a site called Here’s the thing:
On to question #2: How do you make a calendar in iCal on your iPad?
I couldn’t find a tutorial on this one, so I figured it out myself:
1. Open iCal and tap Calendars:
2. Tap on edit:
3. In the icloud section you will see the “Add calendar”. Tap it. Plug in the name of your calendar, choose the colour and voilà! A new calendar!
Then, when you plug in your event, you can choose your calendar:
