Unanswered+Questions

Below is simply a list of questions we have encountered...

As of now... we have not spoken with any High Schools that have deployed IPADs in a 1:1 configuration, following a 1:1 PC initiative. **__Course Document Storage for Teachers and Students__** At present, there appears to be no way to **__store__** Course Folders, **__move and open documents__** in IWorks or __**bookmarks**__ in the Safari browser applications and then **__return__** them to the course folders.

A clear **__"path"__**,is needed for teachers and students to conquer this issue. The **__traditional file tree__** is not available to students and teachers A November 21, 2010 Article regarding this: []

**__Potential Solution-WebDAV-__** http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4283


 * __WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning__**) is a method that allows you to edit and manage files stored on remote servers. By linking to a WebDAV location from your iWork for iPad app, you can easily copy documents to and from a remote server or web service.

__**Internet Browsing Issues- "Flash"**__ The most predominant uses of Flash on the internet are with streaming video and games. It does not load on the IPAD, thus making many websites ( Latin textbook) unusable. Also: Youtube (which ipads have an app for), news sites, streaming music, chat sites.. However, Flash is enabled on competing mobile platforms, including the version 2.2 Android while other O.S.s such as Symbian and Palm have versions coming.

__**Note Taking**__

As of this writing, we have not been able to pair these Apps with a ** __note-taking program__ ** that allows teachers and students to simply insert documents, spreadsheet or presentations into it.

__**GradeQuick**__ At present, GradeQuick does not function on the IPad. When contacted, GradeQuick staff indicated that they had many requests for an IPAD application.



**__Edline__** We were able to create a fake student to test out the student interface on Edline with the iPad. On the surface, the Edline interface works for the most part, but with some major roadblocks. Due to the lack of a traditional file tree, there is no way for students or teachers to upload files to Edline. Document files can be opened in Pages, Docs to Go, QuickOffice or Sundry Notes. PowerPoints can be opened in Keynote, QuickOffice, Noterize, DocsToGo. Excel files can opened in Numbers, Quickoffice, DocsToGo and Sundry Notes. Files Voting and Discussion features work; however, modifying documents in Edline brings up html coding instead of "what you see is what you get" editing.

When using the iPad to edit a wikispace page, the iPad brings up html coding instead of "what you see is what you get" editing.
