 * Pages on the iPad works with iCloud but what if you want to collaborate using another Cloud service like Dropbox, Google Docs or Box.net where your documents are already stored?**

Assign students to designated iPad in cart to aid in the care of iPads, and allow for personalization of learning device. Students are responsible for charging etc.


 * Do you want to teach and keep existing structures [[file:transforming-a-lesson-with-technology_final.docx]] (here's a planner to help you organize your lesson plan)**
 * or are you prepared to allow kids to be more in control of the learning? If so, some ideas are proposed below:**

 * Rethink teaching structures: Re teach and enrich:**

Put PDF files into evernote, dropbox or Books to get instructions, readings, etc to student’s iPads or create a blog with daily instructions.
 * Redesign Student jobs:**Students are in control of their own learning.

__**Organize apps into folders by student jobs as listed below:**__

**1.Researcher** 3 students looking for information Browsers/ search engines other than Google: One of the regular jobs on the Digital Learning Farm is that of official researcher, a student who sits with a computer or smartphone connected to the web ready to look up information on the fly as the class needs. Snapify, a handy Chrome extension, will make the job of the official researcher that much easier. Users highlight a word or click on an image marker and click "Snap It" Snapify then opens a search box with results from the main search engines such as Google, Twitter, Wikipedia, Google News and Google Maps. @braddo
