11 Must Have iPad Apps for Teachers and Students ~ Educational Technology and Mobile Le... - 4 views

  •  
    "Today while I was lounging in Victoria Park, I took my iPad and started thumbing around through the apps I have. I was really surprised to find out that I have many apps installed but only some are being used on a regular basis. So it dawned on me to compile a list of some "must have" apps that teachers should have access to. All of these apps are great for organizational tasks such as : task management, bookmarking, note-taking...and media storage. "

    "The e5 Instructional Model was recently introduced in Victoria and Vermont Secondary College has been trialling it for the past 12 months. We are also on the first phase of a 1:1 iPad program beginning with Year 7 in 2013. As one of the Teacher Librarians I am keen to evaluate and recommend resources of any sort to support quality teaching and learning so last year I began reading blogs about apps for education."

Five reasons to teach robotics in schools - 1 views

  •  
    "Technology is critical for innovation, yet schools struggle to get students interested in this area. Could teaching robotics change this? The Queensland government has just announced plans to make teaching robotics compulsory in its new curriculum - aimed at students from prep through to year 10. Robotics matches the new digital technologies curriculum, strongly supported by the university sector and states, including Victoria. But while, worldwide, there are increasing initiatives such as the Robotics Academy in the US to teach robotics in schools, Australia isn't doing enough to get it taught in schools. To explain why we should teach children how to program robots in schools, we first need to understand what a robot is. "

No drop outs - how smart phones encourage homework - 0 views

  •  
    "When nagging fails, turn to technology. Dr Grainne Oates noticed that her accountancy students were unmotivated away from the lecture hall. ''When I looked at their results and how they were performing, I found they were doing very little outside the classroom." She also noticed they were always attached to their mobile phones. She decided to use the idea of gamification - the strategy of turning a task into a game - and designed the HEd (Higher Education) app as a tool to change student behaviour. "
