Hands On: iKeyboard Brings Touch Typing to the iPad [Macworld / iWorld 2012] | Cult of Mac

Hands On: iKeyboard Brings Touch Typing to the iPad [Macworld / iWorld 2012] | Cult of Mac | iPads, MakerEd and More  in Education | Scoop.it

"The iKeyboard was another Kickstarter success story at Mocworld / iWorld 2012, garnering over 6 times what the required threshold was for funding. Its mission is to “addresses the one drawback of a tablet computer” which is the inability to touch type on the iPad’s virtual keyboard. Again, I’m not a fast typist — I definitely need to work on that to improve my overall productivity when writing. The iKeyboard gives me the opportunity to work on that on what is often my primary writing tool."

"The challenge then with the iPad is like anything else computer related. Can we get the teachers on board? Regardless of Apple’s PR machine telling us how magical and simple it is, despite the fact a toddler can pick one up and play games without batting their cute little eyelids, the fact remains there are still many teachers who haven’t embraced laptops after 15 years of exposure let alone a completely different system present in the iPad."

There's a brand new studio-grade condenser microphone in town for both USB and iPad, and it comes from Blue Microphones.
Joe Bruce's curator insight, February 10, 2014 12:08 PM

This product makes portable recording easier. The usb aspect of the microphone is great. It is studio quality. Having built in focus controls and different sonic options. Its able to hook up to the iPad as well as any usb plug in.

Tim Watson's comment, November 12, 2016 12:15 PM
This is a very nifty invention to have if you don't have you laptop handy, it having USB capability can come in handy in a tight spot.
Lanerz Simiskey's curator insight, September 19, 2021 9:31 PM

I chose this one because, I thought I could learn more about microphones used for at home studios. Instead I am bombarded with ads and a short article that gives me little to no infornmation.
