Viewer Questions!

Pam from Shell Beach, CA writes in:

Do you think the iPads lend themselves to students developing more “creative” content than the Netbooks?
Is that why your school chose them?
Do you think they are worth double the cost of the Netbooks?

Danny brings up the Chromebook.

Episode 40 The Ubermix Love Fest

Posted by Andrew Schwab on August 14, 2011

Episode 40 The Ubermix Love Fest

We have guests (finally!) and we can’t stop taking about the #ubermix. The Father of the ubermix Jim Klein stops by and along with Dr. Mike Vollmert we discuss netbooks while cleverly avoiding talking about the device that shall not be named. Two of us (not Danny) woke up at ‘0 dark thirty and went on a Photo Walk in Yosemite with Ken Shelton. Check out the Photo Walk ShutterFly Photo Book http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books?escFlag=1. Did you know if you’re an educator you can buy Lightroom for the low price of only $89!

Rock Star Teacher Tech Camp- Jon Explains his vision

A discussion on how student teacher’s are not being taught technology in the classroom.

How are iTunes and the Mac App store going to work for schools using apps on multiple computers.

@DigitalRoberto Robert Craven at Saddleback Unified might have some answers

Using iBoss and Work Group Manager to help manage Macbooks and maybe even iPads/iPods
