Apple iPod Touch & iPad Training

I attended an Apple iPod Touch & iPad Training today and WOW!  I learned so many cool tips, tricks, and integration ideas and found a wealth of new resources.  My mind is racing.  I have plenty of blogging material for a while!  One of the first activities of the day was to watch a video on the iPod Touch and do a think, pair, share activity afterward.  I watched Tony Vincent's "Learning in Hand" episode 16.  For those of you who don't know Tony Vincent, he is a former fifth grade teacher turned technology guru/consultant.  Check out his website Learning in Hand.  You may also want to consider following him on Twitter.

Episode 16, iPod Touch Tips, covers several topics, and here are just a few tips I learned about using Mobile Safari on the iPod Touch:

• Tap the time in the top center of the screen to return to the top of any webpage
• Double tap a column or image to zoom in, double tap to zoom out
• Tap and hold a hyperlink to see web address/URL
• Tap and hold an image to save it to your Photos app
• Create a "custom image" icon by going to a webpage, enlarging an image from the webpage that you want to use as the icon pic, then bookmarking the page by adding it to your Home screen.  The image you enlarged on the screen will be the icon on the Home screen for the website.
• Bookmarklets perform a variety of functions (search, find, bottom of page, etc.)

Lots more to come!
