Everything from hazards to brain development to social emotional issues

Might nice to use as a starter for a workshop or in response to allowing students to use their devices in school?

Explains the need for freedom and choice in a 1:1 program.

Good read. Having tool options forces people to think about which option is best (since they are not always equal, depending on situation). Interesting though how many people just want to be told which tool to use, avoiding the messiness of having to find the best tool (which will always be a moving target). What happens when the "teller" or "tool decider" is no longer around? Hmm.

Anyone have any experience/knowledge with this iPad App?

Thanks Suzanne!

Some interesting ideas here. But I would contend with, first, with the lack of non-technology 'innovative ways' to approach 21 century learning, and, second, his 'ranking' of what is 'obsolete'. thoughts?

Just saw this Doug. I agree that innovative movements in education certainly don't need to involve technology. When I read this article I see much more than technology tool as offerings 21st century learning. I see major themes including collaboration, information access, personalization of the learning process, student choice, and better opportunities for students to be active learners. It's true you can't read too many paragraphs in this article that don't involve words like "blog" and "device." Yet, if these tools have become such a useful part of the lives of the 21st century student, why shouldn't we as teachers advocate for their use in our curriculum re-designs and innovative approaches to 21 century learning in schools?

This could be useful for staff and faculty. A garde 10 student showed me this at the leading school workshop 

Thanks will check it out. Wonder how it compares to Dropbox. Sounds like more storage?
