Creating Transformational Multimedia with the iPad Workshop

Saturday, 6/23/2012, 12:30pm–3:30pm


Christopher Tully, Middle Bucks Institute of Technology with Christine DiPaulo


NOTE: Participants must have an iPad with the latest iOS as well as iBooks and iTunes U app installed.

Purpose & Objectives

Is it sometimes a challenge to find multimedia to support a topic you are teaching or
enhance the learning experience for your students? Imagine if you and your students
had the skills to create quality multimedia productions on the iPad that were creative, meaningful, and relevant.

What if you could play the role of facilitator as your students use creativity and
innovation, communication and collaboration, research, critical thinking, problem
solving, decision-making, concepts and technology operations to create multimedia that
show mastery of content material and can later be used to help teach other students
around the world.

This workshop will provide the foundation for teachers to create quality multimedia
productions for use in the classroom, while providing the knowledge and skills to teach
their students how to acquire information, create a video from conception to
completion, and make it go viral on the Internet using social networks.

Over the past 20 years, I have been producing promotional videos, commercials,
television shows, websites, graphics and audio recordings for distribution through every
medium. Let me show you how to turn your classroom into a media distribution center
of knowledge, while creating a student-centered environment where students are
engaged and excited about coming to school.

Creating Content with the iPad


The iPad is changing the educational landscape. Students can make movies, music and photographs. Teachers can put together professional-looking documents, presentations, and spreadsheets no matter where they are. And that's just the beginning. This hands-on session is designed for an existing iPad user who wants to get beyond basic applications.



Apps for Content Creation


As educators, our task is no longer simply to deliver static content. That is a bygone era. Rather, if we are to foster an environment of critical thinking among our students, we need to be able to author new content, create scenarios and tell stories that make the content material alive, tangible, and relevant. To an even greater degree, we need to put the ability to do this in the hands of our students. When they can synthesize a concept and use it to convey a message or idea to others, it is then that we know that true learning has taken place.


iTunes U Course


In this presentation you will be using the Multimedia on the iPad course.  This course is part of a complete self-paced course on iTunes U that was the delivery platform for a session at the Pennsylvania Education Technology Expo and Conference in Hershey, Pennsylvania in February 2012 presented by Christopher Tully, Chris Penny, Christine DiPaulo, Ben Mountz and Priscilla Taylor. This course provides you with the necessary tools for organizing, collecting, editing, and developing digital content exclusively on the iPad. Whether you are producing slides for a presentation, creating a Podcast for independent learning, or shooting a video for student distribution, it is truer now than ever: there is an app for that!

iBooks






As part of the course "Multimedia on the iPad: MMTiPad101", Christopher Tully, Chris Penny, Christine DiPaulo, Ben Mountz and Priscilla Taylor created several iBooks including "iPad An Amazing Content Creation Device" and “Making Better Videos”. These resources will assist you in determining apps to use as well as teach you techniques for producing multimedia on the iPad.
