Animation & Drawing by Do Ink is the fun, creative way to make animations on your iPad. The app was designed to be easy for beginners and young animators, but with powerful tools for creating advanced animations. Use the drawing editor to create vector artwork and frame-by-frame (flip book) animations. Use the composition editor to combine your artwork - along with props from the Do Ink prop library - into more complex and sophisticated scenes. Save to the camera roll, then share your creations with friends, classmates, or the world!

Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profits, and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect-inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized.

Classroom is designed to help teachers create, collect, and grade assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organized.

Students can keep track of what's due on the Assignments page and begin working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom.

With the mobile app for iOS, students and teachers can view their classes and communicate with their classmates in real time. Students can open their assignments and work on them right from their iPhone or iPad. Teachers can keep track of who has turned in work and grade the assignment - at school or on the go. Students and teachers receive notifications when they have new content in Classroom, so they are always up to date.

There are many benefits of using Classroom:

Easy to set up
Teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just minutes to set up.

Saves time
The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review, and grade assignments quickly, all in one place.

Improves organization
Students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, and all class materials (e.g., documents, photos, and videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.

Enhances communication
Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with each other or provide answers to questions on the stream.

Secure
Like the rest of Google Workspace for Education services, Classroom contains no ads, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Permissions Notice:
Camera: Needed to allow the user to take photos or videos and post them to Classroom.
Microphone: Needed to enable audio capture for recording videos to be posted to Classroom.
Photos: Needed to allow the user to attach photos or videos to Classroom. Photos or videos posted to Classroom will be stored on Google servers in order to show them in Classroom.

Add and view comments does not work in iPad and iPhone

My title should read " Add and view comments does not work in iPad and iPhone, be sure to view google classroom in the browser and not google classroom app"

The UI is not the same as the Desktop web app when it comes to adding comments to turned in items. I had to tap the top right open in the app like slides or docs. Trying to adding comments to slides to specifics by highlighting words or cell in a table does not bring up the UI comments bar for some reason. I have to tap several different times to bring up the slide's UI edit bar. It's not easy to discern that the comment icon is add or just view comments. When viewings comments there's not add comments within the view comments. Editing comments; the entry text field is not scrollable with there are multiple lines or paragraphs. So that we clear on my review. The whole adding comments within a submitted item experience is not the same as it is with the Desktop web app. It's annoying to work around and it takes me twice the effort to accomplish my of giving feedback for a given item was turned in by a student. I also can't view my co-teachers comments.

I left my laptop at home so I can travel light and try to do the same tasks while I'm using the iPad and iPhone. Instead I'm doing more work hopping to apps and back to google classrooms and yet I can't see my comments that I added in the slides or PDF. It's pretty frustrating.

Good app, but here's some suggestions

This app is really good and very convenient. It's nice to just look on google classroom for assignments and links instead of typing it in manually in the search bar or having to ask the teacher. All the one star reviews are from kids who want google classroom taken off the app store, but take in mind it would be a LOT worse without it. The other kids think that school would stop if google classroom was taken off. However, the app isn't exactly perfect and I have a few suggestions.
I like how everything is nice and organized, but I have a comment about accessing classes. On the side menu you can view and access your other classes, but I think it'd be a good idea to put a little drop down menu for each class to easily go to classwork or stream or people. This is because it takes FOREVER to load everything. That's another suggestion. PLEASE MAKE THE APP FASTER! It takes 20 seconds for it to load, and what is SUPER frustrating is when you go into classroom and THEN your teacher posts the assignment and you have to reload it again, wasting another 30 WHOLE SECONDS. It's VERY slow and frustrating, and I hope to see it fixed in the future.
Anyways, thanks for reading my rant (good+bad) about the app. Even though it has like 1.5 stars, it's not true and is a very good app for schools and classes.

Good app, could be improved

I've been using Google Classroom since 4th grade, and I don't see any major problems with it. Frankly, the app's reviews are only so bad because a bunch of students are sulking about having to use it for school. I receive notifications on my iPad when new assignments are posted, and that's super helpful especially during distance learning so I know what I have to do. Despite many reviews saying that the app crashes or doesn't load, it works just fine for me on my iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Google Classroom is a useful app for both teachers and students for posting and organizing assignments. However, I do wish that there you could upload several files at once. Now, I have to upload one at a time and, depending on the size of the file, it can take a bit long (15 seconds). Also, my Google Classrooms aren't always the most organized (not the app's fault), so it would be great if there was a search bar. If I needed to find an assignment, I could search up its name and it would show up. Finally, right now I can't find a way to edit my comments. This isn't a big error, it's just annoying. If I want to change something small I have to delete it and write it all over again. All in all, the many horrible reviews are unjustified in my opinion. Google Classroom is a very good app and doesn't deserve all the 1-stars it's getting.

20 Ideas for Sparking Interest in Class with iPad apps!

20 Ideas for Sparking Interest in Class with iPad apps!

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
When Steve Jobs introduced the world to the iPad, it was a marvel that had the potential to make big change.

It was visually stunning. It was tactile. It shortened some work from minutes to seconds.

The iPad's possibilities in education were seen quickly and have developed over time.

It's easy to say that tech is just a tool, but if we don't seek how we can leverage its potential, we're shortchanging our students.

In our weekly half-hour #DitchBook chat (10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Mountain, 7 p.m. Pacific), we recently discussed how we can "Ditch That Textbook" with the iPad.

A Storify summary of all the tweets is available here, but here are 20 ideas that stuck out to me most:

- Lundgren Health (@LundgrenHealth) September 18, 2015

1. Heart rate tracking - PE and health classes aren't exempt from solid tech integration! Students can track their heart rates while they exercise using these heart rate monitors OR for free with the Instant Heart Rate app and a smartphone camera!

2. Log your learning - Seesaw is a digital portfolio app that lets students document and share what they've learned. Angela mentions using the Shadow Puppet app to pair video.

3. Link up videos with QR codes - QR codes are ideal for linking students with iPads to anything on the web. When students talk about what they're learning on video, a picture and QR code on the wall turns learning into an interactive multimedia journey.

I use plickers a lot. Great for RtI and exit understanding. #ditchbook - Tonya Cargill (@mrscargill1129) September 18, 2015

4. Visual formative assessment - Get quick feedback from students even if they don't each have iPads in front of them. Print cards with codes from Plickers and give them to each student. Students hold the cards up, and a teacher scans them from the front of the room with a smartphone or tablet. Plickers gives instant results.

5. Play in the virtual sandbox - Many students use Minecraft at home or with friends to build virtual worlds. Let that world and your academic content collide by encouraging them to create in connection to what they're studying in class!

A4 use thinglink with vocabulary tailor vocab to students. #ditchbook - Trever Reeh (@treverreeh) September 18, 2015

Love pic collage! #ditchbook We use it with @RemindHQ to send collages of pics to parents https://t.co/jVxcic49Dq

- Craig Yen (@craigyen) September 18, 2015

6. Quick photo newsletters/updates - Remind lets teachers send text messages safely and securely to parents and students. Pic Collage lets users create photo collages from their devices. Put them together and parents get a very clear image of the awesome happening in class!

7. Smash some apps - Apps on the iPad don't have to be used in isolation. In fact, when one app is used to make another app more versatile, you're app smashing. The previous idea with Remind and Pic Collage is a perfect example. See more examples in this shared Google Doc.

8. Interactive video shows - Speaking of smashing, TouchCast mashes up video and links to the web. Ever seen those images that TV news programs overlay next to the news anchor's head? TouchCast lets students make interactive versions of those in their videos.

A3: Ss take pix of our anchor charts and compile then in @BookCreatorApp. Anchor charts at your fingertips when needed! #ditchbook - Lori Kutilek (@LoriKutilek) September 18, 2015

9. Quick reference books - Book Creator for iPad lets students easily create their own digital books. When they take pictures or notes and add them to an ebook, they're making their own reference materials - no book publisher necessary!

A4 One of my favs! Used @DoInkTweets app with kinders then 3rd grade buddies added text on google slides! #ditchbook pic.twitter.com/O1LsAGConY

- Karly Moura (@KarlyMoura) September 18, 2015

10. Green screen mania - When students record video with a green background, the Green Screen app by Do Ink lets them replace it with practically any backdrop. Put them on the moon, in a TV show or more!

A3: Use your camera with @ReflectorApp to turn your ipad into a doc camera!!! #ditchbook - Coach Ben (@cogswell_ben) September 18, 2015

11. iPad document camera - Show students what you see through your iPad camera on a projector screen. Reflector mirrors what's on your iPad to a computer. When you use your iPad camera and mirror it to your projector, students see what's coming through the camera. Instant document camera!

Love that the iPad can capture my Ss voices and stories even if they are pre-writers. They are still authors, news reporters... #ditchbook

- Angela Gadtke (@MrsGadtke) September 18, 2015

12. Young news reporters - Even the youngest students want to have a voice and a say in class. Even the simplest videos taken on an iPad can turn students young and old into video journalists.

13. Stop motion video - Remember children's shows like Gumby or Wallace and Grommit? They used stop motion animation - positioning items, taking a picture, moving them slightly and taking another picture, over and over. This technology is readily available and easy to do with the iPad! The Lego Movie Maker app is one tool.

14. Adobe Voice - Video. Animated transitions. Voice overs. There's a lot students can create with Adobe Voice. This post by EdTech TV offers some ideas.

@KarlyMoura http://t.co/EVzbeh22pW here's a iMovie trailer my first graders created retelling their fav Eric Carle story #ditchbook

- Amanda Young (@ajyoung53) September 18, 2015

15. Video book trailers - We love watching previews of our favorite movies in movie trailers. Why not let students create similar videos about their favorite books? The iMovie app gives students plenty of pre-designed tools to make it a reality. Here's an example via Karly Moura.

My Ss love QR code scavenger hunts from http://t.co/uPTzvGWV8Z http://t.co/LUznMi7q6g#DitchBook - Matt Miller (@jmattmiller) September 18, 2015

16. QR code scavenger hunts - Scavenger hunts are fun by themselves. Add QR codes that display info, links and clues and it's a brand new experience. ClassTools.net has a free QR code scavenger hunt tool that makes creating them a breeze.

- Karly Moura (@KarlyMoura) September 18, 2015

17. Google + iPad = Excellence - The corporations of Google and Apple may not be best friends, but their products make lots of innovative learning possible. Kasey Bell of Shake Up Learning delivered this virtual presentation at the Education on Air online conference. (See if you recognize her assistant in the video!)

18. Visual mathematics - Use images and the Geogebra app to measure and determine angles. Connect geometry concepts with students' real lives!

Silly but Chatpix all the time for instruction and warm-ups. I use their favorites! Nothing like having Taylor swift get us going #ditchbook - Tonya Cargill (@mrscargill1129) September 18, 2015

19. Silly talking pictures - Chatterpix Kids lets you take a picture and identify where the mouth is in the picture. Then the picture talks with the words you provide.

Yogile is a fun tool for creating a photo gallery of student work. #ditchbook

- Jared Covili (@covili) September 18, 2015

20. Easy photo collections - Often, simplicity is best. Yogile lets anyone upload images to an album and then share the album. Albums give users a quick glance at all images. User accounts aren't even necessary, although albums created without an account only live for 14 days.
