On Sunday June 7 at 1400 GMT  Vance Stevens presented at Learning2gether on Teaching Writing on iPad and Mobile Devices using Voice Tools.. Here, find the YouTube recording of the Google+ Hangout on Air and a downloadable mp3 rendition of the audio. What is this about? Vance Stevens has been exploring techniques for teaching writing on iPads and mobile devices using voice tools for leaving comments in Google Docs, and in speaking what students write on paper into Google Docs for them, so they can revise more easily. He’s also fathomed the trick of importing images into Google Docs on iPad to allow students to incorporate Word Clouds and other images into their documents using iPads.

• He was part of a workshop where these ideas were presented at TESOL 2015 in Toronto: http://tesol2015ipadogogyabloominbetterwaytoteach.pbworks.com/w/page/92492694/Writing%20Apps%20-%20Vance%20Stevens
• and he and colleagues are planning to present similar materials at ISTE in Philadelphia later this month: https://www.isteconference.org/2015/?id=94278056

In this session, Vance will attempt at a distance some of what he will demonstrate at the latter event. Here is a playlist for URLs to be used in this session:

Hi

Chris Fry

That’s right

Chris Fry

I’m downloading Google docs on my ipad now so everything I’ve written was done on my PC

Chris Fry

I can hear her

Art Oglesby

I hear her

Art Oglesby

Nor fearing failure – learning by trying

yes

Chris Fry

I can hear you both

Vanessa Vaile

back — sort of. I can hear OK now but speaking is not working on my end

Vanessa Vaile

my limping back-up computer has audio problems to begin with

Vanessa Vaile

Vanessa Vaile

online is a series of workarounds, one after another…life too

Thank you.

Vanessa Vaile

great presentation — even with all the patches I missed getting set up. I’m going to share this writing instructors who teach online — and hybrid/CAI/flipped etc

Vance Stevens

thanks, sorry about the sound issues, suspect it might have been at my end

Vanessa Vaile

or both — this laptop already had sound issues and I need a new headset too (if only for the comfort of better padding on my ears)

Vance Stevens

thanks for coming, settling into dinner mode
