 Welcome to our Wednesday webinar. I'm Corey Dahl and I'm an instructional technology facilitator here at ESU 8 and with me is Lisa Pospischel. Who is assistive technology at Norfolk Public Schools and Avid iPad user and I kind of bullied my way in here and made Corey let me help. Right. Right. So I feel very good about having her here and there's plenty to talk about and there are many features that we won't hit today but we've just selected a few for you just to cover on iOS 7 if you've upgraded your iPad already or thinking about it. Yeah. Some of the new fun features out there and also some of the features that might confuse you a bit when you first get started. Right. So let's get started. Let's do. So what is iOS? Really, I just wanted to because often people hear iOS and they don't know what that is. So just a brief description of it really and as I put it up there it's just the foundation. It's the operating system. That's what the OS means and the I really refers to all these I devices, the iPad, the iPhone, right? The iPod touch. So OS is really operating system and so this is a major, major upgrade for them. Yeah. In many years. Yes. So I'm glad you said that, Lisa. The last major update. What do you think? What year? Lisa, don't give it away if you think you know. Now what I want you to do, participants, is get in the chat area and I want you to type your guess at what year the last, and I'm going to call it major. I'm not talking, since this is iOS 7, I'm not talking about iOS 6 and 5, but the actual look and feel. So if everyone get into the chat area and type in their guess at what year you think the last major update was. Oh, 2009. We're a little close. Close. We're talking, or typing here, we've got 99, 10, 8. 99. Was that around in 1999? Jody, I don't think we had an iPad in 1999 and if you did, you know someone at Apple that we don't. Ooh. Nobody hit it yet. Oh, oh, here we're going. We're getting it. Here we go. Somebody googled it a bit. I think this is the first major update since 2007. 2007. 2007, we have. So if you were in the ball, so this is really, if you think about in terms of software and even any technological device, it's been about six years. I mean, that's a lifetime in technology. To me, I consider a couple, three years. Now, they've changed devices and how they look and things, like the phones and the iPads. And some minor stuff, you know, operations, but not the full face. Right. So this is a big deal as far as updates go. Okay. One of the first changes here, well, a big change is folders. Okay. And now if you've been on an iPad in the past, you've probably taken your apps, Lisa, and put all of your apps into folders and what are some of the ways that you've characterized them or categorized them? Sure. You know, we've put them according to subject area. So all the reading ones, phonics, math, math facts. I've even seen kids make folders for the alphabet. So if the app started with the letter, it would put them in those folders. Right. So in the past, now, there's my folder there. That's how it looks on iOS 7. But before, you could only put how many apps into one folder. Now, this is pre-IOS 7. So how many apps could you fit in on your iPad? Me? Oh, 20. 20. So you can get 20 apps into a folder before iOS 7. Now, so the big change here is what? It's unlimited. In fact, I saw one student, he put all 120 apps in one folder. It was crazy. So if you're a neat freak, and you don't like this cluttered-up, multi-page iPad, you can get unlimited. All of your apps into one folder. Now, I don't still know if that's going to work the best for you, but it's just knowing that you're not limited to 20. Because some people have reading apps, and they might have more than 20, and they had a reading one, and a reading two, or whatever. But now, you can get all the reading into. Or if you have a cart at a school where people are sharing them, you might put K3 apps, I'm just using that as an example, into one folder. Yeah. And four, six on another, or something like that. And just remember to look when you see the folders. Now, you only see nine apps showing up. And look below on the folder to see if there are any dots. If there are dots, that means there's more pages in that folder, and you just swipe to go through them. So I think that was just something that I found that was interesting. Because before you were limited, and now you're not. So it's just really whatever you want to do. Well, and before we go on, I know you're at Control Center, but let's also add you used to be limited to only 11 pages. Now it's unlimited pages to keep your apps. So it just depends on if you're working with kids that you'd rather have the apps sitting out, and you organize them according to pages, or in folders. So just do what feels best to you. Because now when I updated, I had like 15 pages, but only 11 showed. I had to always search for them. And something else regarding that made me think of, if some of you had that Newsstand app before, they wouldn't let you put that in a folder, and now you can take that Newsstand app and actually get it in a folder and hide it. Because not a lot of people really use it. I wish they would just let you take it off. Right. You can't take it off because it's one of their apps that has to stay on there, but you can't at least put it in a folder. Okay, next. Control Center. How do you get to it, Lisa? Oh, that one's really kind of nice and easy. You used to have to get to it by double tapping your home or forefinger up, but now they've turned it into a Control Center. It's one finger down at the bottom of your iPad and you swipe up. Now by default, you can access this not only when you're on the home screen, but when you're inside of an app. And later if we get to it, it will show you how to turn that off if that bothers you. Right. So let's look at some of these things that are in the Control Center. We used to have to go forefingers up and then we'd swipe from left to right. Right. So many of the same things are here, but you can get to this Control Center anywhere. So some of these basic things, this is that airplane mode there. If you're on an airplane, they ask you to shut that off. Here, what is this? That's a universal symbol for. Wifi. Right. You need to connect. This Bluetooth. Love that one because that really eats your battery and it's easy to turn Bluetooth on and off now without going into the Settings app and trying to find it there. Right. Right. And now what I found myself doing here, I've actually, when I go to put this Control Center down, I found myself trying to just touch it right here. And I didn't need to, but then I found myself turning on Bluetooth accidentally. So this is a battery sucker. It is. Think about that. This one here. Nighttime notification. Well, it's like a do not disturb. Yeah, it is. Do not disturb. So if you don't want at night for certain things to happen, notification and things, you might want to use that. I use that more on my phone. Right. Right. And then mute. If you just want to quickly mute. Yes. Okay. Now over here, I use this a lot. This is my volume. It's real quick and easy to turn up and down my volume. And then over here, the brightness. Yes. Okay. Now from the screen also, no matter what screen you're on, if you don't see your camera app, you can click on the camera app right there and just take pictures. And then we'll talk about the camera in a little bit as well. And then what do we have here? What is that? Well, it's a timer. It's a clock. Yeah, it's a timer. Yeah. I'm going to say I don't use that very often. Right. Yeah. Okay. But yeah, you're going on to that next thing down at the bottom. Yes. Where it says Cory Dahl. Right. See, this is the one where we use AirServer a lot in our district. Okay. And that allows you to mirror your iPod on your computer so you can project it. And you have to get to it here. And so, get to Control Center and you should see this AirPlay, which is the square in the triangle. If you tap that, you're going to see where you can AirPlay to. Right. So what AirPlay does, it just allows you to mirror your device. Apple TV. Through Apple TV or AirServer or Reflector. Reflector. Yeah. Reflector now. Right. So if you don't have one of those devices available, you will not see this available on your iPad. Yeah. Now, what is AirDrop? It's new to a lot of people. Do you use it much? I love that. Yeah, I like it. But it's not on all the devices I have. It's only out there on the new iPad 4. Right. And iPad mini. It's on. And the newer phones. Right. Right. So if you're looking for this and you have an older iPad, you won't see it. So like Lisa said, it's an iPhone 5. It's an iPad 4th generation or later. Or the mini. Yeah. So what does it do? What does it do? It does is to share things back and forth over the air with people. So if you have a photo or a video or a document, you can AirDrop it to them. I only wish it would let you do it to the computer too. But this is just between iOS devices. Right. And you have to be like using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth here. That's right. As far as that goes. So if you don't have Wi-Fi turned on or Bluetooth turned on, you will not see who's in your immediate area. Right. So sometime when you're around somebody you know turn on Bluetooth and your Wi-Fi and make sure you're connected and just practice sending pictures or whatever the case is back and forth. The control center is new that was never there before right so you'll hear people talking about that and even it's one finger up right yeah from the bottom. Searching is new now we used to have to we'd have to go to the first screen and then we have to swipe left to right and to search so if I'm like if I'm on Lisa's iPad and she has eight pages or so of apps and I'm on page eight I'd have to get clear back to the first screen of her apps then I'd have to hit the home button one more time or I'd have to swipe from left to right one more time and then I'd search. Now Lisa the big difference here now with Iowa 7 is how can I search. Everywhere on the home screen so it doesn't matter which page you're on so if I'm on page 8 can I search. You can search. How do I do that? It's great okay now it can be tricky because you need to I tell the kids any page you're on you can't be in an app you're gonna draw like the number one in the middle of your screen so you're just gonna swipe down and search comes up and it's beautiful I didn't realize how much the other search bothered me until they put this search in. To me this was a major improvement yes I mean it was just the way it was before but it's just like okay you know what do we do before air conditioning well you just lived with it right yeah it took two weeks of swiping to the to the left you know until I broke myself of the habit. So if you're on an iPad right now or your phone and you're several pages back on apps just try pulling down on your screen so you just take just like you said you tell kids to make a number one right in the middle of the screen and and you just pull down with your finger and you can search. Yeah don't get close to the top and don't get close to the bottom it needs to be in the middle of the screen because if you pull close to the top what's gonna come down. Notifications right. Right so to me this is a major improvement as well. Yeah love search yeah because you know when you get so many apps you have to you want to try and find them and you don't want to have to go clear the behind. I don't know if I have enough yet to search but I just have a few apps right. Yeah just a few. Siri this hasn't affected or changed you know much what I do but it's just nice to know on your end if you wanted to change Siri's voice so when you go into settings general Siri and then voice gender and you have let me grab my arrow here and you have turned on Siri right there and you can come down here to the voice gender and you can change Siri from a female to a male. Yeah I like the male voice I really do. Whereas I'm sticking with just normal Siri. Yeah you like Siri. And I believe they still have the same attitudes do they not? Yes they do. Yes just different voices. So not an earth-shattering change but just one worth noting that you can change Siri's voice. Okay next multi-tasking this is a little different as well. Yes I in unlike the last time who say I'll let you talk about this one but it's still four fingers up okay but it's gonna look different. Right. And the biggest difference for me when you say is deleting the shortcuts. Right. Because how did we used to have to do it before? Well prior to this and I'll let me grab my arrow again here when I look at the bottom when I do my four fingers up and I see all the apps that are open I used to have to press and hold this app here and when I would press and hold it I'd get that little red minus. Yeah. And then I'd have to tap them one at a time one at a time. So now on this new multi-tasking bar here when these apps are up I just take this app right here that my arrow is on and I'm just going to swipe up with my finger and then that app just goes up in the here and it's gone. Yeah. And if you're really talented you know what you can do you can you can do two at the same time I can do this one or this one or if your fingers are wide enough or you can somehow figure it out you can get rid of three apps all at once. So if you have your iPad handy try that now do your four fingers up on the bottom to reveal the multi-tasking bar and then just take one of these apps and just swipe it up and then it disappears. I didn't know you could do three that's amazing. Yes. That's a lot quicker than that tap tap tap and get them jiggly. Right. But I also like the fact that I can see the screen that's in that shortcut and I can easily go into that app again the multi-tasking that makes it quick and easy to go between them. The one thing I did notice though is to get rid of multi-tasking you have to four finger down instead of just a finger down. All right. Yeah. So when you pull up this screen that you're looking at on your on our webinar you do that by four fingers up and then to get it back down it's four fingers down as well. Also another way to pull this up if you don't like the four fingers up there's some people I've been around that really have a hard time with four fingers up to reveal that. You double tap your home button. The double tap your home button that pulls that up. That still works and a tap brings it back down too if you don't like to four finger down. Okay. Safari now I'm someone who uses Twitter so one thing I really loved about Safari is when I'm when I'm in Safari the web browser and I come over here and I click on the bookmark. Okay. When I click on bookmarks and then I click on this at symbol what shows up below here are people that I follow on Twitter and if there's a link since I'm in Safari somewhere in their uh somewhere in their tweet I see them right there and so that's amazing what this is for me is someone who looks at Twitter a lot so I don't have to go out to Twitter I can I can you know be reading something let's say in Safari and then I can just check quick to see if anyone you know had posted something and if there's a link it'll be there so that's something to me as someone who uses Twitter is a big deal yeah what else is new in Safari? Well I like the new share out you know where you can you can bookmark right right over there one I like that they separated it from that other icon the book in your bookmarks so that you don't confuse it and the share out looks different it used to be a box with a curved arrow right and so now in all the apps that have kind of updated to this 70 look I've noticed they've been using this box with just an up arrow and that will be your share out so when you tap on that you have a few more options right right one of them's airdrop you can airdrop this website to somebody so if you want to be on the same page that the other person is I think that's kind of cool and not have to get another email yeah yeah I also noticed that bookmarks we used to have a bookmark bar and you can tap that but they call that now favorites instead of instead of the bookmark bar so let me go back here you're talking about this bar up here yes just the bar yeah it has your shortcut links right down here yeah so shortcuts it's your favorites quick and easy links to get to but that's one of my favorite ones and then there's the as far as mail you can mail whatever website it is you're on there's that link to twitter again and social networks and facebook and so on down at the bottom I don't personally don't use this a lot do you lisa not to bookmark I don't if I I do to the bookmark bar I have a few that I want to go to or we send kids to but I usually if it's a website I go to a lot I make a web app out of it right and how would you do that let's say it's I'm on apple.com right here and this is a website let's say if I go to a lot right or if it's my school address and I wanted to add this so it looks just like an app on my home screen right so first I go to the website second I'm going to tap this then where do I go now yeah you go to add to home screen at the bottom what's great is it kind of make takes a picture of that website and makes it puts it in the app and then I organize my web apps all in one folder so that they're all quick and easy to go to right and now we have unlimited folders right exactly so if you have a really long web address and you have little kids going to it you don't have to spend any time having them type in that address just do this once on your own and now um does it have are these icons that are made in shortcuts how does that affect or what how does it change when you hand them back to the people at your district level who who might synchronize and work with your iPads because won't they disappear well yeah that's me you know who's working with that but usually if I have some web apps or if teachers have web apps that they want then we put that on the master and then we clone the master with those so it's just yeah it's just something to think about so if you have a iPad that you have to hand in occasionally to someone at the district level it would wipe it out as soon as they sync it so you just have to be aware of that so if you want that left on there you talk to that person like Lisa in Norfolk and say I would really like the shortcut to Norfolk Public Schools website or whatever left on there and then they can add that to it so it wouldn't be wiped out it wouldn't and you know it depends on how they wipe them out too if they're teacher ones I've been tending to just update them now especially with a couple more features we're going to talk about here I'm hoping that saves me some syncing time right we're going to get to the updating apps here soon next oh I want to go back there's one more great thing in safari go back it's beautiful used to be two different places that you can enter a web address or a search they now made that a unified search and so you can either type in a web address or the terms that I want to search where before I used to have to do it in two different fields right right the search field was more on the right yes now you can search for do whatever you need to do just write in that one and that was so confusing for people because I would have them typing in their search terms in the web address one and it wouldn't go and vice versa so love that they've made kind of what others might call like an omni bar to search so that's that again that feature for me said yes finally very nice next the camera I put now this is more than just a camera burst section we want to talk a little bit more about the camera but as far as the camera goes here instead of just taking one shot or if you wanted to take a few quick shots what you can do here is is just press and hold this button right here and it will it will take reasonably quick pictures yeah it can also just tap it quickly with your finger but you'll have to experiment with that but the reason I brought this up is if you're on an iphone you can use your volume button and you know where your volume button is on your phone it's not as easily done on an ipad because it's a little awkward but you can also hold down your up the up volume and it'll it'll take pictures for you quickly as well so there's three ways I can either just tap on it with my finger I can press and hold this button or I can press and hold the volume yeah and I will say in this new camera it took me a while to get used to it because before when you click the picture you would have like a shutter on the whole screen right now it's not you got to look in the lower right hand corner and you're going to see it flash in a little square there in fact I didn't even know about the camera burst but I I soon could tell when I would go to my camera roll and I'd see multiple of the same picture because I didn't know I was taking it right I was crazy now how about switching before there was a little in ios 6 and before you just had to you just had to move a little button over to go from video to to the still camera now and I've seen this and Lisa and I were talking she's seeing the same thing people aren't sure how to get it from photo to video and they want to tap on video right here and who wouldn't and who wouldn't right so what do you do Lisa you slide it you kind of you take your finger on photo you slide it up and down and and think of the dot is is where you're moving it to and and they've added you see that square I thought that was interesting now what is that that turns the image into a an exact square and not quite sure well to me if you're an instagram fan they're always square so it is very much an instagram like and those of you who know what instagram is you know what I'm talking about and so if you're on your ipad right now your phone if you move to that square you'll see that it looks very instagram-ish yes that's if I can use that word you know and one last thing on this you see that HDR off okay and that's for a high definition that the default is that it's off but if you want a really good quality picture when you're taking it you may want to think about turning that HDR on again it just depends on you know it helps you make a choice but with kids I usually do it off so it doesn't fill up their ipad right very good yeah okay lots of changes in camera very much but the biggest one to me was that just that moving it using your finger to swipe it versus tapping on it yeah okay updating apps this can be a big deal for schools and I'm gonna at least it's just discuss us a little bit so I'll right now what you're looking at I am in settings and then I've selected iTunes and App Store and then down here is where I can turn something on or off you want to talk about yeah you know and this is one that I've really been looking forward to for actually a number of years and that's apps that automatically update I mean one of the things that bothers people the most on their App Store icon was the little red circle right that you know even before I updated to iOS 7 I had 196 updates and that freaks some people out so if people aren't familiar with what we're talking about you've got a little app icon and there's a little red number there and it might say seven or 196 or or 33 and that means a lot of people when they see that they think they have to update it right away yeah so what can you do now in iOS 7 you can turn it automatically on and in the background it's going to be pulling down any updates as they become available and I really like this because then it's not overloading the system all at once because I would tell people if they got if they have so many they just bring it in and we'll update it on the mothership this way it's pulling it down now in schools depending on how many devices you have you know this this could be a drain on the wi-fi right all for sure yeah and but what I like is that it's spaced out you know I think at this initial iOS 7 all the apps have to update because I'll tell you we have a lot that are freezing you know that haven't updated yet so if you haven't run your updates please do because yeah they've also made some what um some significant changes to their looks and and feel as well like google drive man that really changed that freaked me out all right it's time for a little question a little poll here I'm gonna pull it in yeah wake them up out there so you can see it okay and I'm gonna start the poll here here's the question before iOS 7 I'm talking about on an iPad as well before iOS 7 how many apps could we fit into one folder okay and I see I see people answering here and you should you should see the poll oh some of you are typing in there yes for those of you typing if you can go up to the poll in the middle of the screen and choose your answer and I'll broadcast the results here in a minute and I'm getting a 12 you know what's funny about this is we're researching it because I had already actually forgotten and people are saying 12 and 9 and 20 now and it did vary depending on you're talking about an iPhone or not but we're talking about strictly about an iPad here let's broadcast the results let's see how we voted they did well okay 70% of you picked 20 now Lisa is the iPad genius and is that correct that is correct ding ding ding ding right so now it used to be 20 but what is it now unlimited right okay or at least to the limit of the memory of your device exactly yeah there you go okay all right here we go iTunes radio this is new this if you're wondering what iTunes radio is if I could compare it to anything it's Pandora Pandora is a streaming radio so you can imagine even if you're not a really a techie what streaming radio would do to a network so Lisa you want to talk about iTunes radio yeah because that was a big one when all of our iPad minis kind of instantly updated the kids found this right away which is yeah of course and it's in the music app and it is a radio now the nice thing compared to Pandora because Pandora is not filtered you don't have a clean switch right the nice and so that's why we tell kids you can't do Pandora I can't filter that for you but for iTunes radio in the restrictions you can turn that to clean but I have a problem I worry about the streaming and and the dragon wi-fi at least in our schools until we update that a little bit more so how do you how do you do turn it on on the clean to turn it on to clean you need to go to your settings now we're gonna what I'm going to do now I'm going to share us a live view of Lisa's um Lisa's iPad so if it just bear with me a moment and I will I will get this started here okay I'm pulling this in here and I just need to do a couple quick adjustments I realize you can't see it yet on your end everybody but we'll make this happen here make it happen we're gonna make it so we're gonna make it happen here okay so I'm going to share my screen here and I'm going to share air server and then oh sweet now what you what you should be able to see on your end right now is is a view of Lisa's iPad yes okay so now what she's going to go into now you just did a demonstration of searching so you can be on any you can sorry I went into green beans okay so how do you search first of all you just pull down right from somewhere like you're drawing a one in the middle of the screen right and then she's just looking for settings and I'm typing in settings and we're going to go right into there um for schools it's important that you do understand restrictions and that's found under general I'm going to flick up a little bit and we have restrictions so settings in general and restrictions let's see if I have the right one in now everyone knows your code if there yeah there you go okay I'll have to change that okay and so here to change the content if you come down here under allowed content this is where you can set music podcasts and iTunes U2 clean it says explicit if I turn that on then I'm going to get all the stuff that I don't want kids to hear not that it's totally full proof I did notice a bad word it wasn't super bad but here's the deal if you have iPads with kids yeah you can't make that iTunes radio go away I mean that that just goes down to classroom management and people walking around and seeing that this is on but you can at least go this far yeah and I think it's important for parents too to understand restrictions so if you are a parent and have an iPad at home and you have it in your kids hands you should set the restrictions on here to make sure that they can't get you know especially even in books where it says restricted you know it shows some not-appropriate pictures right it's anything else that you wanted to demonstrate quickly because we scheduled this for half an hour and I wanted to stick within that so while we're still looking at your iPad where else were we at here as far as demoing yeah demoing you know as far as now if you look down at the bottom of her screen if you can see that she has how many pages there if you quickly look you know 10 eight 10 pages so now in the past I would have had to get clear to the beginning again to search now I don't have to do what she's doing right now I can just pull down again and that's to me is key what else what else was brand new with this um brand new with this would be the control center right you want to pull up the control center so I'm going to take my finger down way at the bottom and go up you know and again that's where you can air play which is what we're doing right now I'm using air server that's how you're able to see this and you can see that I'm hooked up to his machine and that's where I'd also go and turn it off if I needed to I think uh I think I'm going to close this window and we're going to get back to our screen sounds good and we're right at 415 and just like we started on time I want to end on time please continue to look back at our esu8.org website and then when you're on our website if you would look at if you just click on this link Wednesday webinars and if you have a topic that you'd like to suggest we'd be glad to listen to that you can let a staff developer know or myself and then each week we'll be doing these we can certainly do more and each week there the live link is there so if you're not sure where the link is just go to that Wednesday webinars click there and like right now it says click to join the live link and this is also the same place where we'll post things that have been done in the past good to know so Norfolk people make sure you go there and we'll share this out too you bet okay that's it um oh we have a few questions here so you know as we're officially done here we can answer a few questions and also while we're answering questions I can pull in my favorite penguin swing so if you have see this what you do here this is definitely my favorite as you click and then the penguin drops down and then you can hit the penguin and what I'm looking for is who can hit the penguin the farthest so go okay so right now I'm going to look at um I'm going to look at some of the questions or maybe people are just chatting and I am going to turn off the record at this point thank you everybody
