Art Teacher Interview Questions

When interview committees and principals interview art teachers, they're looking for someone who can connect with the entire culture of the school. They're looking for a person who empowers students to create beautiful artwork, has a presence in extra-curricular activities, and can effectively manage students in a classroom full of messy, sloppy supplies. An art program is often the proud centerpiece of a school's curriculum and schools want to fill that position with the most competent art teacher available.

Interviewing is stressful for any candidate. My best advice is to be prepared with a complete teaching portfolio and to practice common interview questions beforehand. While you don't need to rehearse what you'll say word-for-word, it's not a bad idea to prepare yourself by thinking about your responses to general questions that will be asked.

Art teacher candidates can expect the common, general teacher interview questions:

- Tell us about yourself.
- What are your strengths and weaknesses?
- How to you integrate technology into your teaching?
- How do you meet the needs of special education students?
- How do you communicate with parents?


But, when hiring art teachers, principals and interview committees have high expectations and often develop more specialized questions. Below are some common questions (and suggestions for answering them) for art teacher interviews:

1. Describe some ways you present and display student work throughout the school and throughout the community.

Whether you like it or not, the art teacher is often responsible for setting the decor of the entire school. You'll likely be responsible for keeping the halls full of student work and updating displays on a regular basis. You'll be the one they turn to when they want a mural painted on the gymnasium wall. They'll run to your room when it's time to set up the annual display in the district office building. And, when the community art show comes around, you'll be the one that is expected to coordinate it. When it's time to create the yearly district events calendar, you know they'll be turning to the art teacher for a collection of high-quality student work samples. Art teachers have a HUGE responsibility outside of general teaching. You need to reassure the interview committee that you're aware of these responsibilities and are excited to take on these challenges.

2. Show us pictures of your work as an artist.

You should have your teaching portfolio with you at an interview. Since you're an artist, your portfolio should include pictures of your own artwork, in addition to lesson plans and student artwork. Be sure the works you show the committee are appropriate for a school setting. Don't show them your latest nude sketch or a violent scene. Keep the content of the material in your portfolio light, upbeat, and positive.

3. Describe some of the art projects your students have loved.

This is a simple question. Describe your "best work" as a teacher. In other words, you're looking to tell them about project that was engaging to the students, educational in terms of artistic development, and well-received by others when it was displayed. Pass around some pictures of this lesson from your teaching portfolio!

4. How can you make the most of a small budget for art supplies?

Many school districts can't offer you huge amounts of money for art projects. Explain that you're a natural bargain shopper. You'll always seek out the best deals on art supplies.

You should remind the interviewer of your no-waste philosophy. You don't let kids throw away big scraps of paper that can be used again. You'll try to unclog those stuffed up glue bottles, rather than throw them away.

Also, let them know that you can make artwork from simple, everyday household objects. Maybe you know how to make Christmas ornaments from light bulbs or you can turn empty soup cans into lanterns.

5. How can you connect your activities in the art room into lessons taught within other subject areas?

You can easily connect art to Social Studies by teaching cultural art. Example: If students are learning about Australia, you can teach kids to make Aboriginal Dot Paintings in art. You can also connect art to historical themes by making connections with art history. You can also tie into Reading and Writing by teaching kids to describe and critique artwork.

6. Why do you think art is an important part of a child's education?

This answer, will of course, vary from person to person. Some things you might want to think about: Art is a small, but important part of a well-rounded education program. Art teachers stimulate students' imaginations, by encouraging them to express themselves creatively. Art teachers develop students' self-esteem, by allowing them to discover other talents they may have that go beyond the rest of the school's curriculum. And art teachers help students to better accept the world in which they live by inviting them to view things in different ways.

7. Art teachers have a unique set of classroom management challenges because you see so many kids for such a short time-- what would you do when a kid is off-task, unmotivated, or not participating in a lesson?

The most effective way of avoiding behavioral problems is to keep students interested, involved, and engaged from the moment they walk into your room to the moment they leave. It is essential to have classroom rules posted clearly in your classroom. Routines are important-- kids should know where to sit, when to get materials, what the clean up procedures are. As the teacher, you must enforce the rules and routines consistently each and every day.
Hopefully, you use positive reinforcement to encourage the best behaviors. You praise your students' efforts often, and you offer constructive criticism in a positive way. When kids do misbehave, it's best to handle situations on your own, when possible. (Only the most severe cases of disruption or violence should be sent to the office.) Taking away privileges or responsibility is often an effective method for managing classroom behavior problems.

8. Art is an elective, which means you'll have to promote student interest in your courses. How will you do this?

This question is for candidates that are interviewing for high school art positions. The simplest answer to explain how you engage students in worthwhile art activities. The final projects come out so beautifully that students are proud of their work, see their talent, and have a strong desire to create more!

Happy interviewing!

Why Aren't There Any Teaching Jobs in Michigan? Or New Jersey? Or Pennsylvania? Or New York?

Michigan is one of the absolute hardest states to find a job in. In fact, many areas in the United States have a surplus of qualified teachers and very, very few open positions to fill.

Why? It's the economy. The manufacturing jobs that were once the staple of the northeastern economy are going bankrupt and/or relocating in other countries, where labor is cheaper. (You can thank NAFTA for the job losses.) As high-paying jobs leave the state, young people with families leave to areas with stronger economies. Schools, therefore, need fewer teachers because there are fewer students.

The population in Michigan isn't growing much (if at all). The economy is dead. The state is getting less tax money as companies and people leave the state. And, yet, Michigan still has high-quality teacher colleges that pump out hundreds of candidates each year. The result: Lots of excellent teacher candidates in a location with no available jobs.

This trend isn't unique to Michigan. Similar teacher job markets exist throughout the northeastern United States, in places such as Upstate New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.

So, if you're in one of these tough job markets, what should you do? If moving is a possibility for you, you might consider relocating to places with stronger economies and booming populations like: Las Vegas, Arizona, Carolina, Colorado, and Florida.

If moving is not an option for you, you can still get a job; you just have to work REALLY hard to market yourself. Schools still need SOME new teachers, though certainly not enough to seriously decrease the huge supply. In order to land a job, you'll have to market yourself so well that you stand out as one of the top 2% of teaching candidates.

Suggestions:

1. After you've formally applied for a job through a district's human resources office, send a paper copy of your resume and a letter of interest to the PRINCIPAL of the school you want to work at. HR offices typically forward 10-20% of the candidates to principals and ignore the other 80%. Since principals usually have direct control over hiring, you need to make direct contact with them. If a principal is impressed with your qualifications, he/she can easily arrange an interview.

2. Teaching jobs advertised in newspapers and on the Internet typically have TONS of candidates applying. Your best bet-- call schools directly and ask if they'll be hiring in the near future. Most jobs aren't advertised heavily (because they already have lots of candidates). The jobs that ARE advertised heavily will have way too many qualified candidates -- which decreases your chance of getting the job. So, use the phone book to find those unadvertised jobs.

3. Be sure your cover letter is so good they won't pass you up. Do something to make it stand out-- color letterhead, bold faced key words, bulleted lists-- something. Have a great introduction sentence that catches their interest. If you're not a great cover letter/resume designer, have it done professionally. And remember: while good design can get your cover letter noticed, it comes down to high-quality content and excellent qualifications that will get you an interview.

4. Practice common interview questions beforehand. Typically similar questions are asked at all teacher interviews. If you practice beforehand and think about what you'll say, the questions will seem routine and familiar.


5. Here's a link to an eBook about getting teaching jobs. It has advice for finding jobs, tips to polish your cover letter and resume, common teacher interview questions and answers, and more. The eBook has enough solid advice to give you an edge over the other candidates. It can be downloaded at: iwantateachingjob.com


Best of luck to you in your job search!

Teacher Interviews: Common Sense and Professional Advice

This is the culmination of several years of hard work. You've finished college. You're done with your student teaching and you've passed all of your teacher certification examinations. The applications, resumes, and cover letters have been sent out to every local school district.

All you can do now is sit around the house and wait for the phone to ring, right? Wrong! You should be preparing for your interview!

I've been to the interview table several times as a candidate and many more times as an interviewer. If there are any tricks, secrets, or shortcuts to success in the interviewing process, I haven't discovered them. My only sound advice for candidates is to come to the interview prepared.

You should have your teaching portfolio in-hand and you should be ready to talk about anything and everything that relates to you, your background, and your philosophies on education. The best candidates know how to teach, they know how to articulate their teaching beliefs, and most of the time, they already know what types of questions will be asked before the interview even begins.

It's easy for an interviewer to spot an unprepared candidate. Candidates who have not practiced basic interview questions beforehand are unnaturally nervous. They shift in their seats more. They begin most answers with the word, "uhhhhh." There are long pauses while interviewers wait for the candidate to process the question and think up an answer. They get confused by basic educational jargon that they learned in college.

Almost every teaching interview includes similar, common questions. In order to be a prepared candidate, all you have to do is practice answering the most common questions before you go to the interview. (See the practice interview questions chapter in my book to review the 50 most commonly asked questions.) If you prepare beforehand, the interview questions will seem routine and familiar. There are no tricks or shortcuts; if you do your homework you will perform well.

Body language can show whether you're a confident, qualified teacher or an unsure one. At the interview, be confident, but not cocky. Smile when you walk in. Greet the people interviewing you with a smile and a nod. Firmly shake the hand of the principal and other interviewers that are within easy reach. When you take your seat, sit up straight with your feet on the floor and your hands in a relaxed position on the desk.

Have a mild sense of humor. Prepare to make some humorous small talk when you are greeted. For example, if a principal shakes your hand and asks how you are, it's okay to say, "A nervous wreck!" A whimsical introduction can break the ice. Be sure your sense of humor is clean and appropriate for an interview.

Have a teaching portfolio ready. Your portfolio should contain extra copies of your resume, a copy of your teaching certificate, sample lesson plans, samples of student work, and any other evidence that shows you are a qualified candidate for a teaching position. It should be bound in a neat, professional-looking leather binder. (See the teaching portfolio chapter in my book for more information.) Place the portfolio in front of you when you sit down at the interview table.

Usually, the people interviewing you will not ask to see your portfolio. They do, however, expect you to have it on-hand. Don't wait for anyone to mention the portfolio. Instead, you should use it as a tool to describe your teaching experiences. For example, if you are asked to describe a lesson that involves teaching writing, you might say, "Yes, I can show you! I have a sample of student work that shows how I teach the writing process."

The first question at almost every interview will be: "Tell us about yourself." You should already know what you're going to say. Keep your answer reasonably brief. You can talk about the college you attended and provide an overview of your teaching experience.

Always be positive. Try not to say, "I don't know." Avoid saying, "I'm not really good at..." Don't say, "That's one of my weak points." Always tell the truth, but you don't want to suggest that you're not a confident, successful, qualified teacher. If you honestly don't know the answer to a question, you might ask the interviewer to restate it in a different way, or you might want to give the best answer you can based on your knowledge and experiences.

Use lots of examples when you answer questions. When they ask how you would do something, tell them how you have already done it. This will make you seem more experienced. For example, if an interviewer asks, "How would you you use creative problem-solving in your lessons?" You might answer with, "When I was student teaching, I did a great creative problem-solving lesson when..." When you use specific examples, you're convincing the interviewers that you're more than just hypothetical talk.

The final question of your interview will most likely be, "Do you have any questions for us?" Be prepared with a thoughtful question ahead of time. While this is probably not the most important question of the interview, it is your last chance to leave a positive impression. Rather than answering with, "Not really," you should ask something philosophical or complimentary. You might ask the interviewer why they are proud of their school or what the people you'll be working with are like. Since your interviewers will probably be meeting with lots of candidates, you should use the opportunity to ask a question and make yourself stand out. And, think about it: You've been on the hot seat answering their questions for 45 minutes. You've earned the right to turn the table, even if it is just for a moment.

When you leave, the interviewers will, of course, be talking about you. They'll be filling out little forms rating your experience, qualifications, communication skills, and personality. At the end of the day, they will have about a dozen of these forms sitting on the desk. They'll look through them all and the chosen candidates will be the ones who were the most memorable, most qualified, and most prepared for the meeting. With some time and effort, that candidate can be you.

Things to Consider When Preparing for Your Special Education Job Interview

Candidates who are seeking a job in special education face unique challenges because they need to present themselves as more than a general teacher. They need to prove they are true specialists in the education field. Principals will be looking for special education teachers who are masters in developing differentiated lessons, experts in child disabilities, advocates for students, and able to work cooperatively on a team of professional educators.

When you interview for a special education job, it is likely you'll be asked many of the standard questions that are presented to all teacher candidates. This includes questions about classroom management, parent communication, technology, and your philosophy of teaching. But, you will also be faced with additional questions that are specific to special education. You answers to these questions will help you prove your dedication to and background knowledge of special education.

I always recommend candidates familiarize themselves with possible interview questions beforehand. Most teacher interview questions are relatively predictable and, if you think about what might be asked, and develop possible answers in your mind, the actual interview will seem routine and familiar.

Below are a few thoughts for special education candidates who are preparing for their next interview.

Know your future students.

Special education teachers are specialists in a huge variety of academic, emotional, and physical disorders that students have. You'll need to know about and discuss specific disorders. Know what the symptoms of the disorder are, what types of services might be available for these children, and be armed with some effective teaching strategies.


A few of the many specific classifications you might want to be sure you're familiar with are:
speech disorders
language and processing difficulties
autism and Aspergers disease
emotional and behavioral disorders
ADD and ADHD
physical handicaps
Tourette's Syndrome
Cerebral Palsy

Don't be the candidate who
doesn't know an IEP from a CSE.

A special education candidate should realize that the job will require more than just teaching students. There will be lots of meetings to attend in which you discuss student needs, goals, successes and failures. There will be plenty of papers to fill out which document student progress and plans for future instruction. And you'll be the go-to person when other teachers have questions about a student's needs or abilities. Be prepared to discuss the job requirements that go "beyond teaching", including:


IEP (Individualized Education Program) - Know what an IEP is and how to write one. When you become a special education teacher, it may (at times) seem like your career revolves around IEP paperwork, so be prepared to talk about this in-depth.CSE (Committee on Special Education)- Know what an CSE meeting is, how they're conducted, and what the role of the special education teacher is. If you have ANY experience being a part of a CSE (or other special ed.) meeting, please emphasize this at your interview as it will give you an edge over many more inexperienced candidates.
Prepare yourself beforehand by studying up on the school district's process for referring students. They may have a Child Study Team or other type of group for determining which students need special education services and which students do not. Do your research to figure out what tests are administered to determine eligibility for the program. Also, it can be especially helpful if you know what services are available within the school and which are not.
Be prepared to talk about how you'll be able to help school faculty members who need guidance in dealing with special education students. Many students will be pushed into regular education setting for all or part of the school day. When other teachers have questions or concerns about a special education student's achievement, you'll be the one they turn to. You may be asked to help them adapt the curriculum so students can reach their fullest potential.

It takes a team to educate a child.

You'll definitely want to emphasize your ability to work cooperatively with other teachers and support staff. There is a team-approach to a special education student's successes. You'll be required to work closely with regular education teachers, PT and OT teachers, speech teachers, counselors and social workers, special education administration, and resource teachers. Be ready to discuss your role on the team of educators who will be responsible for the success of your students.

In many situations, special education students will have a teacher aides or you may even be given an assistants to help you out through the day. Be prepared to discuss how you might use the support staff in a way that benefits the student. Remember: You do want to foster independence in your students, so you won't want them to be overly-dependent on an aide or assistant. However, the student will have very specialized needs which may require an extra pair of hands. At your interview, you may be asked how you will use support staff to balance the ability and limitations of your students.


Strive for Least Restrictive Environment.

One of the goals of special education should be to ensure that all students learn by being challenged, but not overwhelmed. While some students may be in a self-contained special education program, others may be mainstreamed or a part of an inclusion program. Your goal should be to ensure that no student is ever over-classified. He/she should always be given as "normal" of a school experience as possible.

In the United States, students with disabilities are legally entitled to be educated alongside students without disabilities, whenever possible. You'll want to ensure that your students have access to the regular education curriculum, regular extra-curricular activities, and any other programs regular education students participate in, as long as the student does not have a disability that requires his/her exclusion. You'll want your special education students should feel as through the fit in with the school community, not alienated from it.

Know the secret to being a successful Special Ed. teacher!

What is the key to being a successful special ed. teacher? It's being an expert in differentiated instruction! Yes it's true that all teachers need to differentiate their lessons to meet the learning styles, academic needs, and interests of their students. But in special education, it's not only a recommended teaching technique, it's essential!

Unlike other teachers, you'll never be able to open a teacher resource manual and begin teaching the lessons as-is. You'll need to adapt each lesson so that the children in your class are learning as much as possible, given their own personal strengths and limitations. It is important to show how you will use differentiation to adapt the curriculum to meet the individual learning needs of your students.

The health benefits of Grapes and how you can grow them at home!

Lately I've been going crazy over Grapes. I've recently discovered that Grapes have many health benefits that will help me  stay young and active and can help me live longer.    Widely popular, grapes are regarded in many cultures as "the queen of fruits". These tiny berries are the storehouse of numerous health   promoting phyto-nutrients such as poly-phenolic antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.    => Grow AMAZING grapes like these with ease    During my research here's some interesting facts I've un-covered:    - Grapes are rich in Resveratrol. Resveratrol is one of the powerful anti-oxidant, which has been found to play a protective role against cancers of colon and prostate, coronary heart disease (CHD), degenerative   nerve disease, Alzheimer's disease and viral/ fungal infections.    - Resveratrol reduces stroke risk by altering the molecular mechanisms in the blood vessels.     - They are an also good source of vitamin-C, vitamin A, vitamin K, carotenes, B-complex vitamins such as pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamin.     - In addition, the berries are very low in calories. 100 g fresh grapes just provide 69 calories but zero cholesterol levels.    => Grow AMAZING grapes like these with ease    Look at the link above and see what Danie's offering. Danie is a professional grape grower and has put together a course to help the "average Joe"   grow grapes at home.

This is what stopping you from making a lot more money from your website.

Hey there,

As I told you in the previous email how important the website's speed is when it comes to making money online.

It's really important to make sure your wp site loads as fast as possible.

And this is what makes the WordPress site load slow...

1. Outdated Plugins, themes & WordPress (not only they make your site slow but also venerable for hackers & spammers )
2. Using a Plugin that is not coded well or not knowing how the plugin works
a. For example: – did you know that Contact Form 7 adds 3 http requests on each one of your pages even on those where you don't have a contact form?
b. And just to simplify it for you each http request takes about 200ms – 1 seconds & sometimes even more…
3. Plugins & themes that you don't need & are just sitting there – I mean honestly how many times you buy a plugin install it on your site to see how it works & it sits there?
4. Using a plugin that has a lot more features than you need
a. Example JetPack - it includes several plugins in one as a result it makes the site load slow
b. Using a plugin that is just plain slow – Bharat Tekwani, the creator or FastTrack WP, did a test where he tested 12 different social sharing plugins & found the some of them can literally double the load time of your site…And these plugins have over 2 million downloads on wordpress.org

Did anyone of these sound something you have done on your site? If so then go fix it now because it's hurting your business.

Once you fix these issues the next technique that can have dramatic effect on your load time is your images...

So in the next email I will show you how you can serve your images from powerful CDN of Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free & make your site load a whole lot faster...

Load your images from Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free?

And as promised, in this email I will show you how to serve your images from Akamai & Amazon Cloudfront for free.

But before I do that let me tell you why it's important to do that...

Well, because as per httparchieve.org average web page now has about 1mb of images (more than 60% of total content, including html, JS & CSS) – 30% more than what their size used to be just a year ago.

And it makes total sense because these days we build more graphically pleasing sites & sharing a lot of images on our site because images do get traffic from sites like Facebook, Pinterest, etc.

But the downside of that is the images make our site load slow

But of course, we don't want to make our site load fast at the cost of how pleasing they look because then that will hurt our conversion too because today people do expect highly pleasant sites.

So what is the solution?

The solution is to
a) make sure they are well optimized &
b) make sure to offload them from more robust servers – like Amazon CloudFront CDN & Akamai CDN because the $5 a month hosting is really not built to serve big images...

There is a service called Cloudinary that will let you host your images on Akamai & Amazon CloudFront CDN for free.

And they have special WordPress plugin too which will help you upload all of your images on CloudFront & Akamai with just couple of clicks...How cool is that?

Step 1 - So just go to Cloudinary.com create a free account

Step 2 - install their WordPress Plugin – it available at wordpress.org

Step 3 - Click couple of buttons & it will upload all of your images to Akamai or Cloudfront.

That's it. Believe it or not it's really that easy & it's free. So go ahead and upload your images to Akamai & Cloudfront now & start making your pages load super fast & bank more $$$.

That's it for this email & tomorrow I will send you another email where I will talk about how you can get almost any WordPress site to load in about 3-4 seconds during a weekend without having to write a single line of code or spending a fortune on the hosting servers.

Well, it's true…

Let me explain what I am talking about.

You see, time & time again companies like Google, Amazon, Yahoo & many others have done the scientific tests about how the site's speed impact the bottom line directly & here is what they have found.

"500ms slower = 20% drop in traffic" – Google

"100ms slower = 1% drop in sales" – Amazon

"52% stated that quick site loading is critical to their loyalty" - Akamai

"Slow sites has lasting negative affects" – Google

And there are several other studies done like that & the all conclude one thing...

Faster Sites = More $$$

And it's not limited to online sales alone – here is what Akamai's report also says "With 87% of consumers shopping in both online and retail channels, the impact of a bad online experience reaches beyond the web".

So making your site load fast isn't optional anymore – it's critical for you online success...

And Google has also official said that they now consider site's speed as one of the factor while ranking sites in search engine results.

And if you are site is loading slow you are leaving potential rankings to your competitors & that's not even the worst case...

Worst of all is your competitors are stealing your customers – people who came to your site... here is what Akamai has to say about this "When waiting for an online store's site to load 49% of the visitors will start shopping on another site"

So you have no choice but to make your site load fast & do it quick because every day you are losing your business to your competitors...

So in next email I will share 4 top reasons what makes the wp site load slow so that you can avoid them & stop losing your customer's to your competitors...

The iPad Is Your New Best Friend!

Whether or not you're into iPads or apple products it's hard to deny that there's a huge market for creating applications for them.

Just take a look at the iPhone and iPod Touch markets. Millions of applications were created by normal people like you and I!

Many of those everyday normal people made seriously large amounts of cash selling millions of their applications online.

The iphone market is a bit too saturated for overnight success now but the iPad is in its infancy and the app fortunes are ripe for the picking!

It's not even difficult to create an absolutely amazing ipad application and sell it on the app store.

It doesn't even require extensive computer or programming knowledge. A lot of people just develop the apps and hire out coders to do the dirty work!

The best part is that they still make a ton of money.

I've created an awesome little report that goes over all the ins and outs of how to create wonderful iPad applications and make huge profits off of them.

This book is seriously easy to read and understand and it covers everything you'd ever need to know about creating good iPad apps and, most importantly, making tons of money on them!

Creating iPad Apps, Day 5

Welcome to the final day of the Creating iPad Apps eCourse!

On this final day we're going to tackle one of the biggest questions everyone has about making iPad apps: Do I need to know how to program?

One of the primary concerns that people have when they resolve to make money by creating iPad apps is how they'll actually be doing the creating. To be fair, it does involve some computer programming, which can be difficult for someone who has no experience in the field at all.
If you aren't familiar with APIs, libraries, functions, object-oriented programming as a whole, then you would have a fairly steep learning curve ahead of you as you attempt to undertake the creation of an app. By the same token, if you don't have a lot of experience creating computer graphics or sound files, you'll also have some obstacles to overcome.

Take comfort, though. Even if you can't ever see yourself becoming an artist or a computer programmer, this is still something that you can make money at, because you will always have the option of enlisting other people to do that kind of work for you, via outsourcing. Whatever choice you make in the end, deciding what work needs to be done, and who will be doing it, is the very first step of planning a successful app.

Programming experience would definitely be a plus should you decide that you want to try your hand at programming your iPad app yourself. If you've worked with C or C++ before, then you'll probably have some degree of familiarity with object oriented programming languages, which is what iPad apps are built with.

If, however, you haven't done any programming since the old days of BASIC and other linear languages, then you may well have to consider your experience obsolete. Object oriented programming is an entirely different beast from linear programming, and mastery over one would not necessarily translate to mastery over
the other.

If you have no real experience in programming, then you could always undertake to learn the discipline. It may seem daunting, but others have done it before, and there's no reason you can't do the same provided that you're committed and patient enough.
There are countless resources available for learning to program in C, C++, and Objective-C, the languages that are used in Apple's iPhone Software Development Kit. Apple even has a host of tutorials and instructive documents available on their website, in the developer's section.

If you're interested, head over to the developers section at http://developers.apple.com and register, it's totally free. Then you can have access to the aforementioned help files, as well as the SDK itself.

There's no harm in downloading it, reading through a few of the tutorials and seeing if things start to click. Who knows, you may have had the talent for programming all these years, and never knew about it until now.

See, you can make iPad apps regardless of your skill level and you can easily improve your skill level! To get the full scoop on creating awesome iPad applications you'll have to get our complete guide by following the link below:

Creating iPad Apps, Day 4

Welcome to the fourth day of the Creating iPad Apps eCourse!

Today we'll go over the technical specs of the iPad and talk about some different apps that you can build around that framework.

The iPad uses a 1GHz processor and sports 256mb of RAM. Hard drive sizes vary with the price tag and come in 16, 32, and 64 Gigabyte models.
While those individuals used to working with high powered personal computers might find those numbers a bit on the low side, bear in mind that the iPad is a different creature entirely, and doesn't have to deal with the typical bloat and lag that accompanies a fully-featured operating system.

As such, it can utilize its resources more efficiently. Be aware, however, of these hard-coded limitations when planning your app.

So what kind of applications can you develope with those specs? Well before you can go anywhere with your app, you'll have to have an idea. Ultimately, that's where it all begins, and the quality of your finished product, as well as its financial success, is most dependent upon the quality of this original idea.

So take your time brainstorming, and try to figure out something that really takes advantage of the unique properties of the iPad. Here are just a few basic suggestions to get you started:

Think in terms of what makes the iPad unique.

For example, the iPad has a built-in light sensor. Why not create a game wherein you fight vampires and you have to use real world light sources in order to beat them? Or how about an app where you tend a virtual garden and your plants grow in accordance with the amount of "sunlight" they receive?

The iPad has a large screen whereupon elements can be controlled by touch for an intuitive user experience. Why not a marginalia app where you can load up documents and scribble notes in the margins, or a "notepad" that actually lets you write notes on the surface of your screen as you would with a pen?

Maybe you could create a simple novelty app where you use your fingertip as shears to prune a bonsai tree?

The iPad is motion-sensitive, just like the iPhone. Remember those games where you used to have to tilt a board to roll a little metal ball around obstacles and get it to drop into a hole? You could code something similar on the iPad. You could create an app that mimics an Etch-a-Sketch. You could turn the iPad screen into sand and allow users to rake "Zen garden" patterns into the grains (double-tap to place a rock).

These are just some simple suggestions thought up after but a few moments reflection on the unique capabilities of the iPad. Any one of them, if properly presented and marketed, could be a success for any iPad developer. At the same time, they represent just a fraction of the possibilities that are out there for the truly courageous, adventurous, and creative developer to take advantage of.

Before you go any further in your journey as a developer, try the following exercise: take some time alone and situate yourself somewhere comfortable, whether it's in your study in your favorite chair, in the shower at home, or out hiking on a well-trod trail through the wonders of nature.

Whatever gets your creative juices flowing. Now, ask yourself, what can you do to take advantage of these novel revolutions in computer interface technology? At this point in time, it's important just to let your imagination roam free and easy, without restriction or criticism.

Treat any idea that comes to you as if it has the potential to make a million dollars, and give it a fair shake before moving on to the next. The more often you do this, the more ideas you're going to have, and soon one of them will jump out at you and you'll know it's "the one". Now it's time to get serious.

Creating iPad Apps, Day 2

Welcome to the second day of the Creating iPad Apps eCourse!

Today we're going to discuss the importance of striking early and building apps while they're still hot.

Striking early, however, is critically important for those who hope to profit by developing for the iPad. To understand why, let's take a look back at the evolution of the iPhone.

In the beginning, the App Store took some time to gain traction.
Once it did, however, there was something of a "gold rush" to develop lucrative apps for the system. Game developers in particular were excited about the opportunity to cheaply develop games and then sell them for 10 to 20 dollars apiece (nearly all profit).

Over time, however, these high prices could not sustain themselves, and users saw the overall price of apps getting lower and lower, to the point where the average price for an app is now about 99 cents.

What does this mean to the developer? Obviously, while people still make tons of money developing for the iPhone, the most profitable time to be a developer was in the early stages of the product, before the marketplace was saturated with thousands of competing apps.

Consider it this way. The people who are buying iPads are for the most part already familiar with the App system and how it works. Apps are the very reason they're buying an iPad in the first place. Consequently, they will be excitedly looking to download and buy new apps as soon as they acquire their new toys.

People will, for a period of time, actively want to be sold apps. During this time, one can strike and make a name for oneself as a developer of quality apps. Moreover, with more chance of being seen early on, any submission to the App Store stands a greater chance of becoming a hit.

Therefore, the iPad developer who wants to profit from this business had better get started right away!

Fortunately, that's exactly what this book was created to do – help you get started, and succeed, at creating and selling iPad apps. To that end, it's divided into several sections.

In the book we'll take a look at the iPad itself from a hardware and software perspective. Once you know how the iPad works and what its limitations are, you'll be able to brainstorm new ideas for apps that take advantage of those specifications in a unique and entertaining way.

Then we look at Apple's review process and learn how to assemble a team, design and blueprint a project, and then carry that project through to completion with this review process in mind. With this method, you can more easily assure that your creation will be approved by Apple for inclusion in their marketplace.

After that, we cover some more abstract topics such as how to market your app, different ways to generate income from your apps, and in general how to get the most out of this opportunity.

Striking while the iron's hot won't do you any good if you don't have this book! For more information on how to get this book, click on the link below.
