Easy File Transfer
You have been doing a wonderful job of infusing lessons with technology. In fact your students have been working on their iPads and created some great presentations. There is one problem, the file they created is too large for them to email to you. What do you do?
Even worse, you have some files you want to share with all your students, but they don't have email. How do you get those files to them?
Fortunately for you there is an app for that. Look into Chirp - ASGI Ltd. This app is currently available for iPhone, but could also be installed on iPads. If you have this app running you can "chirp" the app to anyone in the room that has the app open on their device.
If you create a file and students are unable to open the file from email for whatever reason, simply open chirp. Have them open chirp, then add the file to your list and chirp it to them. You will hear a chirping sound and then a link to the file will be transmitted to them and they can download it instantly.
As of now, this app is available for iOS only, but they are working on the Android version next. When that occurs, you will be able to share files across platforms.
