On a smaller scale in the one iPad classroom, you can hold children accountable for the apps they are "playing". Directing them toward choosing a math facts app, for example, is one thing, but how do you monitor this? Require children to take a screenshot of their results screen when they get to the end of a learning session on an app. This will give you the assessment you need to gauge their level of understanding. To make it even easier, the free Dropbox app will automatically transfer the pictures they take on the iPad to your computer!
Here's how you can do it:
Screenshots can be taken on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone by pressing the home button (at the bottom middle) and the power button (top edge) at the same time. This will take a picture of whatever is showing on your screen and put it into your photos.
Dropbox- Once this app is installed on your computer and on all of your devices, they are linked together to continuously update. You won't have to waste space on your iDevices by keeping all of your pics and videos because they are updated via Dropbox automatically. SO... you take a picture on your iPad and it instantly gets transferred to your dropbox on that device and every other place you have dropbox installed. You will have to signup to create an initial account and make a username and password (login with this to Dropbox on your iDevices and computer and you're connected). You will also have to download the Dropbox program to your computer from their website: https://www.dropbox.com/
