Practicum app (in beta)
Posted by: ashleytan on: February 25, 2012
We have developed an early version of a practicum app for supervisors and other classroom observers.
The app was developed with NIE’s practicum specifically in mind and classroom observation in general. After a user selects the evaluation form, the user will see three areas:
- An editable observation form
- A slider that when activated reveals the photo and video recording tool
- Another slider that allows the user to view online resources like lesson plans and e-portfolios.
The observer can type information into the form, toggle +/- marks, sign the document, and then print it (via an Air Print capable printer), send it to Dropbox, or email it.
The app is not available in app store yet as we are still beta testing it.

Hi Angelia,
As the app is not on the app store, we would have to provision your iPad by hooking it up to one of our Macs. As you are a half a world away, this would not be practical even though I would love to get your perspective.
But fret not. We hope to have the app in the store once it is out of beta testing, perhaps in about two months time. You can then download the app (it will be free) and I’d love to hear your thought on it.
If you have any thought now just based on the screen shot, please let me know. Thank you!
Ashley

Any chance you’d want an extra beta tester? Am a CT for this current practicum and this sounds like it’ll be very useful for doing my observations!
Willing to send in field reports ;P

I’d love to have you on board as a beta tester. I’ll contact you by email and put you in touch with my lead programmer.
