48 iPad Apps That High School and College Students Love - 0 views

  •  
    "Staff Writ­ers from OnlineColleges.com wrote an arti­cle that I thought I would share with you. They noted, "While the lap­top remains the tech tool of choice for most high school and col­lege stu­dents, many are embrac­ing portable and inno­v­a­tive tablets like the iPad. Since its release in 2010, the iPad has taken the tech mar­ket by storm and become a pop­u­lar, edu­ca­tional and fun tool for both teach­ers and stu­dents alike. It is increas­ingly infil­trat­ing col­lege edu­ca­tion, with some schools en offer­ing free iPads for enrollees.""

Futurelab - Projects - Home-School Relationships - 0 views

  •  
    "Summary The family's role is increasingly acknowledged as critical for children's learning both in and out of school, giving rise to requirements for secondary schools to report to parents online by 2010, and the Children's Plan identifying 'parental engagement' as a high priority for 2009. However, little is known about the learner's role in mediating relationships between parents and teachers, and between home and school. Young people may actively facilitate or resist their parents' involvement with their education, and without recognising their active role, strategies that aim to enhance communication between home and school may become a missed opportunity that makes little difference to children's learning."

Using Google Streetview - 0 views

  •  
    "A lot has been written about the implications for Google Street View in terms of privacy; I don't think that there's much to be added to that discussion, and the implications are probably still not clear ... Having said that, even I can't really tell if that face in the crowd is me - So I won't be losing any sleep over it yet. If you know where to look, you can find my flat - but to be fair, I'd be more worried, if you just came down the road and found it for real, so I'm probably OK. What I'm more interested in is how this tool can be used in language classes; as you will see from this page:http://classroom201x.wordpress.com/teaching-links/authentic-materials/ , I'm really interested in using authentic materials in language teaching. What could be more authentic that looking at the real streets outside! "

  •  
    "Welcome to the ultimate guide to YouTube. Unless you've been living under rock throughout the 'Noughties' YouTube is quite simply the world's largest collection of video content and as an educator it is an amazing resource that you SHOULD NOT be without. I say should because I appreciate that not all teachers can access YouTube at your school for either political or technical reasons. "

    "It was the first time I gave a presentation about tools at the Teacher2Teacher conference. It felt a little odd, since I so strongly believe that: IT IS NOT ABOUT THE TOOLS, It's about the Skills! Nevertheless, we do need to use tools in order to expose, practice and create through them."
