iPad Backgrounds

Have spent some of today making iPad backgrounds for the new iPads delivered to school. They are being set up over the weekend.

I am creating backgrounds to identify each iPad. They include our school emblem and iPad number and serial number. This information sits above a photo of the foliage of a tree at our school.

I figured out all of the dimensions of the background through screen shots however then found this website with a photo that explains it all clearly.

It made me think that, if we do get to move to a 1-to-1 level of iPads at the school, that it would be a very cool activity to complete in Art coupled with photography or perhaps in a "computer skills" session. I am certain that children could create absolutely awesome backgrounds and could also tie in the discussions about user interfaces and whether you would choose to include bright colours, should there be a lot of text etc on it. etc etc

Once I get the backgrounds loaded I will add a screen capture.
