8. The Basics - iPhone
Can you and your
partner identify all of
these parts?

9. Status Icons of the iPhone
• The icons in the status bar at the top of the screen give information
about the device:
– Cell signal: Shows whether you’re in range of the cellular network and can
make and receive calls. The more bars, the stronger the signal. If there’s no
signal, the bars are replaced with “No service.”
– Airplane mode: Shows that airplane mode is on—you cannot use the phone,
access the Internet, or use Bluetooth® devices. Non-wireless features are
available.
– 3G: Shows that your carrier’s 3G network is available, and iPhone can connect
to the Internet over 3G.
– Wi-Fi: Shows that iPhone is connected to the Internet over a Wi-Fi network.
The more bars, the stronger the connection.
– Lock: Shows that iPhone is locked.
– Play: Shows that a song, audio book, or podcast is playing.
– Alarm: Shows that an alarm is set.
– Bluetooth: Blue or white icon: Bluetooth is on and a device, such as a
headset or car kit, is connected. Gray icon: Bluetooth is on, but no device is
connected. No icon: Bluetooth is turned off.
– Battery: Shows battery level or charging status.

10. Calculator
• Does basic functions. • To access the scientific
calculator, just rotate
your device sideways
into landscape
orientation while using
the Calculator.

11. Email
• Rich HTML email
• Intuitive user interface
• View attachments
– Microsoft Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint, plus PDF, iWork, and
image formats
• Mass move and delete of
messages
• Push email with Exchange support
• Support for IMAP and POP mail
servers, including FirstClass

12. Punctuation and Capitalization
• Open an email.
• Double-tapping the space bar after a letter or
word inserts a period and a space. The next
word will be capitalized.
• In fact, the iPhone automatically capitalizes
certain words like “I” and “iPod.”
• Also, it adds apostrophes to many words like
“you're” and “I'm.”

13. Typos
• Want to undo typing?? Just shake your device
(OS 3.0 only).
• Made a typo? Press and hold the word you
spelled wrong and a magnifying glass will
appear.
• Slide your finger back and forth to move the
cursor.

14. Access Special Characters
• Holding down letters on
the keyboard will pop up
the accents/symbols
associated with those
letters. Once it pops up,
slide your finger over to
the accent/symbol you
like.

15. Get Access to Other Email Domains
• Hold your ".com" button
for a second in a web
address.
• You'll be presented with a
list of alternate domain
endings, such as .net, .edu,
and .org.

16. Contacts
• Integrated with Phone, Mail,
SMS, and Google Maps
• Search your contacts
• Access to Global Address List
(GAL)
• Two-way sync

17. Contacts
• Join with another pair and exchange contact
information.
– How do you add a new contact?
– How can you delete a contact?
– How can you organize your contacts?

18. Video Watching
• If you are watching a video and want to
resume it later, tap the Done button and it will
remember the video’s progress next time you
open it. Same with music/podcasts.

19. Safari
• In Safari, double tap to zoom in. You can also
“pinch” (putting your thumb and index finger
on the screen and pinching in and out) to
zoom in Safari and in Pictures.

20. Get a Bigger Keyboard in Safari
• Before you begin browsing, rotate the phone
horizontally.
• Now tap the address bar and you’ll get a
wider keyboard.

21. Keep Safari’s Address Bar Handy
• Ever scroll pretty far down a Web page, only
to find that the address bar has disappeared?
No need to scroll back. Instead, double-tap
the white bar along the top of the screen to
jump right to the top of the page.
• The address bar will reappear, regardless of
where you are on the actual Web page.

22. Make a Web Clip
• A Web Clip is an icon you can add to your
Home screen as a shortcut to a website. With
one tap, Safari will open to the Web Clip's
page.
– To make a Web Clip, simply open the web page in
Safari.
– Tap the Plus sign at the bottom of the screen.
– Tap Add to Home Screen and edit the title (if you
want).
– Tap Add and, presto, a new icon is added to your
Home Screen!

23. Specific to iPhone
• Call forwarding - You can set your iPhone to
forward calls to another phone by going to
Settings >> Phone >> Call Forwarding and
entering the desired phone number (with area
code).
• Hide yourself from Caller ID - If you don’t want to
allow your phone number and name to appear
on other peoples’ caller ID when you call them,
simply go to Settings >> Phone >> Show My Caller
ID on your iPhone and switch it off.

2. In the iTunes Store, near the
top of the home page, click

3. Browse for an application,
and then click Buy App (if it’s

4. Connect your iPhone to your
computer. iTunes

applications to it.

25. Find and Download Device Apps – Way 2

• You can organize your apps any way that you like:

• To move an app, hold your finger on top of the app until
it starts to wiggle. Then just slide it where you want it.
• To delete an app from your iPhone, hold your finger on
the app and then tap the X to delete. (An X only appears
on items that you can delete.)
• To stop the wiggling, press the Home button.

30. Want Things in Alphabetical
Order?
• To reset your iPhone
home screen and re-
arrange all of your Apps
into alphabetic order, go

31. An Easy Way to Organize
• An easy way to organize
the order of the Apps on
your device is to select
the “Applications” tab

can change the
arrangement (on the

32. How Many Apps Can I Have?
• The most screens (pages) your device can
display with applications is:
– 11 screens (11 x 16 = 176 apps) for OS 3.0 and
above
– 9 screens (9 x 16 = 144 apps) for any OS lower

86. Troubleshooting

87. Force Quit an App
• If your iPhone freezes
up, force-quit the
troublesome app by
pressing and holding
the Home button for at
least 6 seconds.

88. Reset the Device
• To reset the device (doesn’t respond when
Force Quit used), press and hold the
Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at
the same time for at least 10 seconds.
• During this time, a red "power off" slider may
appear and the screen may go black, but do
not release Sleep/Wake and Home buttons
until the Apple logo appears.

89. Maximize Battery Life
• It is more beneficial for your battery if you only
charge it 80% and take it off the charger.
Constantly charging to 100% can shorten the life
of the battery.
• Turn down the LCD (Settings >> Brightness).
• Turn Wi-Fi new network scanning off or Wi-Fi off
(Settings >> Wi-Fi).
• Set the Autolock to 1-minute (Settings >> General
>> Autolock).
• Turn Bluetooth off.

90. Maximize Battery Life continued
• If you find yourself fighting to
conserve battery life, one easy
way to cut down on power usage
is to decrease your email fetch
time.
– Go to Settings >> Fetch New Data
and choose the time interval of
your choice: every 15 minutes, 30
minutes, hour, or manually.
– Experiment with these settings
and see which one offers the best
performance for you.

91. “Students expect a learning environment
that accommodates a mobile lifestyle,
integrates today’s digital tools,
adapts to individual learning styles,
and encourages
collaboration and teamwork.”

92. Importance of Mobile Devices
• 32% of all Americans have gotten online with a mobile
device.
• African Americans are the most active users of the
mobile Internet – and their use of it is also growing the
fastest. This means the digital divide between African
Americans and white Americans diminishes when
mobile use is taken into account.
• A recent survey predicts that by the year 2020, most
people across the world will be using a mobile device
as their primary means for connecting to the Internet.
• PEW Report “The Future of the Internet”

96. • 76% of students ages 12 to
18 have their own cell
phone.
• 72 percent of teens claim
that they can text
blindfolded with a QWERTY
cell phone keyboard.

97. • Researchers found that students from 13- 17
years old, especially girls, spend over half of their
cell phone time texting.
– Over half of the female respondents (56%) said that
losing texting would end or make their social life
worse.
• Teens love to text because:
– Can multitask while texting (46%)
– It’s fast (42%)
– They don’t have to talk in person (36%)
– It’s private and stealthy (33%)
– It saves calling minutes (20%)
– It’s cheaper (10%).

98. What is mobile learning?
• “Any sort of learning that happens when the
learner is not at a fixed, predetermined
location, or learning that happens when the
learner takes advantage of the learning
opportunities offered by mobile
technologies.”
– Wikipedia article on mLearning

99. What’s it all about?
• Mobile learning is about communicating.
• Mobile learning is about connecting.
• Mobile learning is learning on location and
just in time.

100. What’s Coming

102. Smart Alerts
• Your phone will be smart about your situation and
alert you when something needs your attention.
– This is already happening today -- eBay can text you when
you've been outbid, and alert services (such as Google
News) can deliver news, sports, or stock updates to you.
– In the future these applications will get smarter, patiently
monitoring your personalized preferences (which will be
stored in the network cloud) and delivering only the
information you desire.
– One very useful scenario: your phone knows that you are
heading downtown for dinner, and alerts you of transit
conditions or the best places to park.

103. Augmented Reality
• Your phone will use its arsenal of sensors to
understand your situation and provide you
information that might be useful.
– For example, do you really want to know how
much is that doggy in the window? Your phone,
with its GPS and compass, knows what you are
looking at, so it can tell you before you even ask.
Plus, what breed it is and the best way to train
him.

104. Crowd Sourcing Goes Mainstream
• Your phone will be your omnipresent microphone to
the world, a way to publish pictures, emails, texts,
Twitters, and blog entries.
– When everyone else is doing the same, you have a world
where people from every corner of the planet are covering
their experiences in real-time. That massive amount of
content gets archived, sorted, and re-deployed to other
people in new and interesting ways.
– Ask the web for the most interesting sites in your vicinity,
and your phone shows you reviews and pictures that
people have uploaded of nearby attractions.
– Like what you see? It will send you directions on how to
get there.

105. Sensors Everywhere
• Your phone will know a lot about the world
around you. If you take that intelligence and
combine it in the cloud with that of every other
phone, we will have an incredible snapshot of
what is going on in the world right now.
– Weather updates can be based on not hundreds of
sensors, but hundreds of millions.
– Traffic reports can be based not on helicopters and
road sensors, but on the density, speed, and direction
of the phones (and people) stuck in the traffic jams.

106. Tool for World Development
• Your phone may be more than just
a convenience; it may be your
livelihood. Already, this is true for
people in many parts of the world.
– In southern India, fishermen use
text messaging to find the best
markets for their daily catch.
– In South Africa, sugar farmers can
receive text messages advising them
on how much to irrigate their crops.
– Throughout sub-Saharan Africa,
entrepreneurs with mobile phones
become phone operators, bringing
communications to their villages.

108. So What?
• What does this growth in the use of mobile
devices mean to us in education?
• How might this affect your students?

109. IT’S NOT ABOUT THE
TECH.
IT’S ABOUT THE TEACH.

110. Classroom Management

111. “Mobile computing/communication devices
offer a unique opportunity for teachers and
students in different kinds of instructional
settings to capitalize on the flexibility and
freedom afforded by these devices.
However, these benefits demand new
pedagogies and new approaches to delivering
and facilitating instruction.”

112. Syncing
• An iPod can only be synced to one iTunes.
• One iTunes can be synced to a whole class set
of iPods (approx. 25)
• However, so that you can transfer music and
video from another computer, select
“Manually manage music and videos” on
the ”Summary” of your iPod in iTunes.

113. If Needed, You Have Control
• You can hide applications
on the Touch.
• You can limit/control
download capabilities.
• Nothing can be added or
removed without teacher
approval.

114. Setting Student Access

115. Setting Student Access continued

116. Password Control for Student Access

117. Deploying Applications
on Your iPod Touch
Deploying free applications to large quantities of
iPod Touch devices
1. In order to deploy apps to an iPod touch, you must login
with a valid user ID in iTunes.
2. If you try to create a new user ID in iTunes, you will run
into a screen that insists you enter a credit card number.
3. There is a special procedure for creating an iTunes
account that is NOT tied to a credit card.
4. The procedure to do that is listed at this URL:
