<p>I'd be grateful if you could spread the word (especially to careers/counselling colleagues and students) about these upcoming virtual student fairs designed to help international students who are applying for entrance to USA Colleges (Universities) in 2013.</p>
<p>They are free and online with the opportunity to win one of several scholarships available.</p>

<p>For Asia Students : 9th March 2013</p>
<p>For Middle East and Africa Students : 23 March 2013</p>
<p>For Latin America Students : 27 April 2013.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>... and while I'm here ... since last year I've been curating resources for these students and families on a scoopIT at <a href="http://www.scoop.it/t/usacollege" target="_blank">http://www.scoop.it/t/usacollege</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p>I appreciate this can be a stressful time for students planning to move to the USA and for their families ... I hope these resources can help make that move a little less daunting.</p>

<p>There are over 1,300 Apps in Shamblesguru’s iPad … … so much to share, so little time. Chris Smith (alias shamblesguru), of Thailand, will go in whichever direction the interests of attendees determine. Initially, Chris will start the ball rolling with two focuses:</p>
<p>VPN [Virtual Private Networks] on the iPad … sounds technical but it is not. VPNs fool the world by making it look like your iPad is on the internet in another country … which means your data is safer and many school or country filters disappear so content is no longer blocked. He’ll show you how he has set up a VPN … of course there may also be moral and legal aspects to this discussion which we hopefully will get into.</p>
<p>On the first screen of Chris’ iPad he has a folder called “ToolBox” which contains his most used Apps out of the 1,300 … we will dip into that.… and where we go then … well, that will be up to you.</p>Applying to Study at a USA Collegetag:www.classroom20.com,2012-08-22:649749:BlogPost:8665032012-08-22T16:30:00.000ZShamblesguru (Chris Smith)https://www.classroom20.com/profile/shambles

<p><span>This topic could probably be a mini ebook in its own right ... so I've taken the easy route and did a screencast myself ... but just on the iPad </span><br/> <span style="color: #808080;">[I used the App <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/my/app/display-recorder/id520411468?mt=8"><span style="color: #808080;">Display Recorder</span></a> ($1.99) to make this screencast which then uploaded to YouTube]</span><iframe width="580" height="435" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/AITTeochins?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I highlight just one App .... "LogMeIn" ... there is a free version at<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logmein/id479229407?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/logmein/id479229407?mt=8</a> but I'm using the pro version called "Ignition" which costs over US$100 <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ignition/id299616801?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ignition/id299616801?mt=8</a></p>
<p>... and just in case you think I'm rich ... when the LogMeIn [Ingition] App first came out it had less funtionality and was only a few dollars ... and when they upgraded they auto upgraded early adopters to the full version ... (phew). </p>
<p>This gendre of Apps provide the functionality to mirror a screen from e.g. Laptop (Windoz or Mac) to the iPad with the iPad touch screen having full interactivity ... so control your laptop/desktop from the other side of the room ... or the other side of the world. Note that I'm not talking about mirroring the iPad screen to another machine or projector ... that's in another blog post/book chapter<br/> If you are wondering which one to try first ... maybe give Splashtop ($4.99) a spin<a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/splashtop-remote-desktop-for/id382509315?mt=8">http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/splashtop-remote-desktop-for/id382509315?mt=8</a></p>
<p> </p>
<p><strong>Case Study : Using the iPad as a Graphics Tablet<br/></strong> <span>To illustrate one possible use of these Apps see the video below which I made to answer the question in a Ning forum (thanks Juliana) ... "Can an iPad be used as a graphics tablet" for screencasting on a desktop/laptop.</span><br/> <br/> <span style="color: #808080;">Health Warning ... this video was made very late one night with assistance from my cats ... I used a hand-held Flip Camera.</span><iframe width="580" height="326" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/wWH8cqR5pls?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0"></iframe>

<p>Another of the Apps in my collection below that deserves extra attention is <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/coachs-eye/id472006138?mt=8">Coach's Eye</a> ($4.99) this App is designed for P.E./Sports staff to video sports actions and then play video back immediately with the option of writing on the screen and annotating the action ... a MUST for your P.E. colleagues. </p>

<br />
Use of Second Life (or other Virtual Worlds) by Schools Across Asia ...<br />
request for help ...<br />
If you know of a school in Asia that is already using Second Life then I would appreciate it if you could drop me a line.<br />
There is minimal use at the moment (afaik) and I'd like to raise awareness of any ground breaking work so that experiences can be shared more easily.<br />
<br />

An interesting visual map of School 2.0 from the USA ..... can be sent free to USA Schools .... but fortunately a download pdf available.<br/><br/>See <a href="http://www.school2-0.org/map.htm">http://www.school2-0.org/map.htm</a><br/><br/>I wonder where the Web 2.0 references are ..... also not much about library and information specialists .... I suspect this could be a useful discussion tool/focus.
