Do iPads Have the Capacity to Change Education? - iPads in Education - 0 views

shared by Jennifer Garcia on 30 Jan 12 - No Cached

Professional development becomes far more valuable when it searches beyond the simple nuts and bolts of technical use and instead encourages teachers to disrupt the traditional flow of education - to dabble, experiment and re-imagine how that technology can be used to sculpt new educational horizons. A skilled teacher knows more than the simple mechanics of how to use a specific tool. A skilled teacher knows that technology implementations won't have any impact as long as you try and retrofit them on to outdated teaching methods. Only when combined with the creativity and ingenuity of dedicated teachers can technology have a truly disruptive and transformative effect.    There are many t

Jennifer Garcia on 31 Jan 12

"When you see as many apps as we do at RWW, you begin to feel like it's all been done. So many of the everyday jobs for apps to do can already be done by at least one app (if not dozens). How many ways can you share photos with your friends? How many social networks and check-ins and restaurant-discovery services do we need? Lately, we've started to see a new class of app emerge just for managing these tasks across their various apps. The idea of apps for our apps sounds ridiculous, but some of them are neat, and some are downright lifesavers. Here's a round-up of apps you should use if you want to bring your many social networks into one dedicated place."

"Video games have both positive and negative effects on the human brain. They can be used to educate through repetition and feedback, but they also have some less-positive side effects. Our kids and students are excessively using video games and sometimes to the point of addiction. Adults too have recourse to them once in a while. The infographic below has some amazing facts and data about the impact of video gaming on the human brain. You need to go through it attentively and share it with your students and colleagues."

Teaching a course on App Inventor? This site provides a framework for doing so, based on the materials I've created and collected teaching App Inventor at the University of San Francisco. I've taught introductory CS for non-majors (CS0), but the materials will work for a CS1 course as well. You can also pick and choose from the seven available modules, or just give a two or three week intro to App Inventor with the introductory module
