TeachPaperless: IEP Recommendation: Mobile Access - 1 views

  • mobile tech is the single best vehicle for addressing the confidence and practical needs of many of our kids with learning differences
  • I don't mean to say that the tech itself is the 'difference', what I am trying to say is that the tech -- and especially the personalized and always-on facet of mobile tech -- will provide the connection to the tools, the teachers, and the interventions that will make the difference in a way both unique and also requiring a re-thinking in terms of how we offer relevant services to students with learning differences.
  • we need to explain to developers what we and our students need from them

  • Even better, we should be calling for Ed Schools to provide instruction in app making and digital design so that we -- the teachers -- have the capacity to program our own teaching.
  • we need to push now for an end to the access issues facing all of our schools
  • Let's make districts come to the realization that mobile devices and mobile access are the point-of-entry for learning right now. Let's put state funded devices in the hands of kids who need them and let all kids bring their own INTELLECTUAL EMPOWERMENT DEVICES to class.

Systems of Support | Supporting Educator Excellence through Technology and StrategySyst... - 0 views

  •  
    As thought leaders and practical innovators in education, we live in the intersection of technology and strategy. We look deep into the reservoir of the research literature, balanced with the real-life of today's educational environments, to share content for your immediate use (or at least to encourage immediate thinking). This site is a modern day chalk board where we sketch out our ideas, discoveries of others, and "stumble-ons" that we had no idea existed. Jason Gibson (the strategist) and Jason Carroll (the technologist) are popular conference speakers that have engaged educators, counselors, and administrators from across the globe (often referred to as The Jasons). Heavily influenced by the tpack, universal design for learning, and systematic instruction frameworks, we focus on tools and strategies that make a difference.

    "Virtual Field Trips Virtual field trips challenge and expose students to new types of technology. It is a great way to spark their interest and motivate their learning in a specific content area. Virtual field trips can offer students more opportunities because you can take them to places they wouldn't normally be able to go to otherwise - like inside a volcano or ocean floor! In addition, virtual field trips may even boost students' reading comprehension skills and will expose them to different cultures and environments. "
