2014 ASHS Annual Conference

Utilizing IT, “Innovative Technology” to create interactive course notes, multimedia student portfolios and fullscreen presentations, while also being Mac, PC, iOS and Android friendly seems like a huge requirement and a lot to learn.  Traditionally, that would be true but teachers and students can utilize Evernote (on the web, on a laptop or on a mobile device) to mange all of those requirements and do so without requiring a tech support professional or a large financial investment.  In addition, combining AirPlay (desktop streaming from an iPad) with AirServer (software on a computer that connects to the class projector), this environment becomes incredibly collaborative and exciting to utilize.  The goal of this poster is to visually demonstrate the integration of innovative technology in two Ohio State Horticulture courses, “Creating a Virtual Perspective” and “Managing a Virtual Portfolio.”  Students in both classes utilize iPads provided by the instructor and Evernote to work on assignments which combine text, photos, screen captures, audio and video files to produce online digital portfolios, web sites or online presentations.  In addition to Evernote, the instructor and students utilize various IOS apps to create and edit audio and video content, upload to online storage sites and present their projects during class.  This poster is visually enhanced with a video tour at: http://youtu.be/XuyT6KTcyAo  and made interactive using Layar.
