eBackpack Releases iPad Integration to Streamline File Storage and Homework for Teachers and Students
DALLAS - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Teachers now have another way to use their iPads for instruction
with a new utility for the iPad. eBackpack (eBackpack.com)
has added a new enhancement to its secure, cloud-based file storage,
file sharing, and file collaboration service that makes it easier for
teachers to access and manage files and homework using the iPad. In
addition, students can turn in homework electronically and their teacher
can grade, comment and return assignments to the students, all without
printing a single piece of paper.
Michael Giordano, a high school English teacher in San Antonio,
Texas uses iPads in his English and Creative Writing classes. "eBackpack
allows my students to access and save updated versions of their papers
on their iPads. I can easily review their work after class, add
comments, and the students are able to work with the new file that night
or the next day in class. We no longer spend the end of the class
printing out the work we did and I don't have to carry a stack of papers
- it has easily given the students 10 more minutes of work time per
class."
eBackpack's iPad utility supports 1:1 learning initiatives and
iPad or tablet initiatives in ways no other programs or curricula
can. "Schools are looking for ways to effectively integrate classroom
work with new technology including iPads and tablets," said Michael
Zilinskas, CEO of eBackpack. "The eBackpack iPad utility gives teachers
a way to fit the tablet into their curriculum. It is the ultimate
collaborative learning tool that provides safety, power and flexibility."
eBackpack offers varying subscription levels from single-user to
district-wide implementations. The iPad utility is integrated seamlessly
into the eBackpack user interface. Learn more at eBackpack.com/ipad.
