| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 or app-o-pallosa #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @sisterprime and you do such a wonderful job. might want to mute be. #byotchat is about to start #mymomistweeting |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 Evernote!!! #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Hi Steve! I bet you have a bunch of apps that you are ready to share with us in #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | Let’s go ahead and get google docs out of the way #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Well Lorri & both are Evernote devotees. Great way for teachers & students to organize and share info #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @nathan_stevens Have you found an iPad app that allows easy access to GoogleDocs? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | to do some prelection, part of #byotchat experience is ability to apply unique tools that may not crossplatorm effectively. need a mix. |
| lcarroll94 | @jdferries Agreed but it is good to have some that really work on every device… takes some level of complication out of the way #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @lcarroll94 yes, office2 (squared) edits google docs live #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | So grateful that my school is a google-app school. #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @lcarroll94 I also use ginbox, or powerdocs #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | Activity frm #iste12: gdoc to collect a “choose 10 wrd” descript. of primry source art. Then create Wordle to show most common. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 Hey! Don’t rub it in!  We hope to be getting there soon. I like using Google Apps, too. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | cel.ly is a phone-txt/web based backchannel and quiz tool that can be used without revealing student cellphone numbers to all. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries can use word cloud or word clouder on the iPad to create word clouds #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | I like to use a lot of iPhotography apps. It is motivating that it is so easy to make photos look professional and creative! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries @lcarroll94 I am a big qo user, but not being able to upload your dock is a killer #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | I don’t know if Anyone has looked at the chrome apps, really impressive collection #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries I was able to live edit in office2 and save the file #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | One app that I find myself using a lot lately is sliderocket – great presentation tool that has flipped classroom uses #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens my drive and apps overview review for anyone who hasnt played yet http://t.co/iRbXV0tS #byotchat |
| jdferries | @SteveHayes_RB60 i played a little bit but havent been able to get into it. marked it down to return to this summer. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 slide rocket has an app in the chrome store for chromebooks #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @SteveHayes_RB60 LOVE sliderocket! Love that you can embed music too! #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Awesome! @jdferries: @nathan_stevens my drive and apps overview review for anyone who hasnt played yet http://t.co/iTGNORli #BYOTchat |
| MichaelForder | #byotchat we are going byot in my he this year. What are the essential starter apostle I should introduce to my teachers? |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I like the way sliderocket is so simple to embed into a website. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MichaelForder who was the starter apostle? I am guessing Paul, but it could be Simon Peter #catholicAutocorrect #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | I find the Gdrive client leaves something to be desired #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MichaelForder What grade levels are you talking about? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens on ios? it leaves a ton to be desired. it is competing with dropbox, not the office prod. apps. wait for fall #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries the client on laptops #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries I like Gdrive on iOS #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Dropbox – great BYOT tool to use on ipad, phone, laptop.. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens dont really notice it on laptops. just use it to store..syncs well. love the offline mode announced today though. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | Good strategy! Show and tell me about your phone – http://t.co/jYcdbfKo #byotchat @MichaelForder |
| jdferries | @MichaelForder our digital toolbox: https://t.co/XbFZkTbD #byotchat start across the board: evernote; gdocs; todaysmeet |
| jdferries | @MichaelForder then think about how each device can improve the work of the class as a whole like android’s picsaypro (my fave) #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MichaelForder Socrative has a great student and teacher app for both iPhone and Android and easy to use. http://t.co/YXdp7D4O #byotchat |
| jdferries | kindle app for crossplatform reads…fileminx for most codec conversion issues…aviary (w/gdrive) for online photo edit #byotchat |
| jdferries | pearltrees or pinterest for curation and social weblink sharing.#byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | QR Codes with phones (hasn’t taken off at my school) – @mluhtala at New Canaan High School Library has done great things #BYOTchat |
| MichaelForder | #byotchat what device type is most often used in your classrooms? ( cell, tablet, ereader, laptop) |
| BYOTNetwork | @MichaelForder Here is a list of apps (mostly free) that I recommend http://t.co/FCLHtdUn #byotchat |
| jdferries | @SteveHayes_RB60 nobody used BUMP at #iste12 so i had to throw a QR code onto my phone to link to the blog/contact info #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 we use qr codes to help students look for genre books. Biography is one code, sci fi is another #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @MichaelForder current est: ovr 60% laptop (win/mac split), iPad, Chromebook, Android Tabs (transformer) .phones mainly supplement #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @MichaelForder Usually students use smartphones or iPod Touches for mobility reasons, but we see everything you mentioned! #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | @nathan_stevens we started putting qr codes on books too! Kids can look at a book trailer before they check it out! #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 @nathan_stevens i added a “make a booktrailer” assignment for #digcit class. better than current multimedia project #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Study Blue is a great phone & computer app #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | RT @SteveHayes_RB60: Study Blue is a great phone & computer app #BYOTchat LOVE study blue! so do my students. |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @jdferries Great idea! … “make a booktrailer” assignment for #digcit class #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | Not sure if @edmodo was talked about yet… #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | I am liking all the resources people are providing. So much to learn! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @lcarroll94 @edmodo edmodo is really good #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @lcarroll94 @edmodo It wasn’t mentioned, but it is a great app to start with in BYOT! #byotchat |
| jdferries | @lcarroll94 even if not @edmodo, some type of crossplatform homebase is esssential so student know where 2come back as they branch #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | OK – then another question is…What is the one app you just “have to have on your own device?” #byotchat |
| daveandcori | My Favorite Web Resources and Apps for Teachers and Students http://t.co/ZTiTj2dw #BYOTchat #edtech |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork twitter, duh #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | And we shouldn’t forget the classroom uses of Twitter #BYOTchat |
| daveandcori | #Android for #Education resources http://t.co/vP122btZ #BYOTchat #edtech |
| JanetLDee | My foreign language teachers love the http://t.co/ICUme711 app #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens Oh! That’s too easy! #byotchat |
| daveandcori | Google for #Education Resources and apps http://t.co/aVtltA2o my 1st fav apps for #BYOTchat #edtech |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens OK – How about the app you can’t live without other than Twitter  #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | The one app I need on my phone…Twitter, Evernote is close 2nd, and in the summer MLB Gameday #BYOTchat |
| daveandcori | Evernote for Education http://t.co/bAg3TJOJ my other fav for #BYOTchat #edtech |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | I should say MLB Gameday only in the summer, because my beloved Cubbies don’t ever make it to the fall  #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @SteveHayes_RB60 I think it is awesome for teachers to share their fav apps with kids – makes connections and community! #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork I use ginbox on my iPad to check my multiple gmail accounts #BYOTchat |
| lcarroll94 | I love @zite… quick reading in a customized magazine format! #byotchat |
| jdferries | my goto might be my google reader feed. I can’t imagine maintaining my PLN without it (and ubersocial) #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | My favorite “can’t live without” app is Pixlr-o-matic (for iOS and Android). It’s easy and makes photos look great! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | The ability to simply take pictures/videos and share them or replay them back quickly is a great benefit for teachers. #BYOTchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens I looked it up after you mentioned it? How does it make checking your accounts better? #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens i have one screen of 4 Emails on my T-prime. one of soc.ntwrks. one media. and quick look of todo/calendar/etc. #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork I find it easier to switch between accounts than some of the other apps #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @nathan_stevens What is your best calendar (esp google calendar) ipad app? #BYOTchat |
| PennyLatimer | I get lots of resources/ideas from pinterest, however I am still learning lots about apps. #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @SteveHayes_RB60 have you used mailvu app for emailing videos? A colleague has had grt success with it. #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Google calendar is a great BYOT tool – for both students and parents. #BYOTchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | @JanetLDee Haven’t used mailvu – I will look into it. #BYOTchat |
| daveandcori | @BYOTNetwork I have to have Evernote and Google apps. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @PennyLatimer ultimately, i find that if you start with the lrn.objtve, then action steps, kidsll find the app/web/prog they need #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 I use the built in calendar app #BYOTchat chatting in 2 chats |
| BYOTNetwork | @daveandcori What mobile device do you use most often? #byotchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries @pennylatimer that is very true #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | Anyone have a calculator app that they can suggest? There are so many to choose from. I like ConvertPad for unit conversions. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @jdferries @PennyLatimer I agree! It’s tough recommending apps because I think students and teachers can search for them together. #byotchat |
| daveandcori | #Android #Smartphone and Apps I use as an #educator http://t.co/QANq1pCf #BYOTchat #edtech #edapps |
| nathan_stevens | @BYOTNetwork @jdferries @pennylatimer I go for the model of 5-6 apps to choose from and let theM go from there #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @BYOTNetwork @PennyLatimer thats why i keep defaulting to blogposts or types of activities. so many times i strt w/ “i need to…” #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Most used mobile device? – smartphone (If a laptop is no longer a mobile device) #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 I still consider laptop a mobile device #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens I embed the choices into the #flipclass videos & give some “try this” guidelines. Then watch the use in class #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @nathan_stevens @jdferries @pennylatimer I like the model – Give me a purpose, and I’ll find an app. #BYOTchat |
| mananias | RT @daveandcori: Evernote for Education http://t.co/bHDH6U6j my other fav for #BYOTchat #edtech |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Do students consider laptops mobile devices? #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries we are going that route next semester. Going to start recording next month. #BYOTchat |
| MulveyBeth | RT @BYOTNetwork: @nathan_stevens @jdferries @pennylatimer I like the model – Give me a purpose, and I’ll find an app. #BYOTchat |
| jdferries | @SteveHayes_RB60 #1 is chromebook. #2 galaxynote, #3 transformerprime… no more laptop for me #byotchat |
| JanetLDee | @nathan_stevens @SteveHayes_RB60 I also def. consider laptops as mobile devices. #byotchat |
| mananias | RT @daveandcori: Google for #Education Resources and apps http://t.co/mfC0VfWS my 1st fav apps for #BYOTchat #edtech |
| jdferries | @nathan_stevens camtasia 8 is SO worth it. test drove at #iste12. wow. its what we use for the Jen&JD show too #byotchat #isedchat |
| nathan_stevens | @SteveHayes_RB60 may not be students thinking laptop is mobile, but administrators do #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries I have a Mediasite recorder that I record everything with #BYOTchat |
| JanetLDee | @BYOTNetwork @jdferries @PennyLatimer This can still be overwhelming for teachers, esp with BYOT and many diff devices. #byotchat |
| BYOTNetwork | @JanetLDee @nathan_stevens @SteveHayes_RB60 To me a laptop is barely mobile-it won’t fit in my pocket! But I do drag it to work! #byotchat |
| SteveHayes_RB60 | Diigo #BYOTchat |
| nathan_stevens | @jdferries Mediasite is camtasia in a hardware form #isedchat #BYOTchat |

| daveandcori | @BYOTNetwork I only have loaner iPad to review apps. Not a fan of Apple. Like web apps because they work on anything. Great for #BYOTchat |
