    Teachers talk about the change in their teaching and in student learning by "flipping" instruction and becoming facilitators/coaches- spending more time working with individual students and groups as opposed to being the "sage on the stage"

    Two business men who are creating education apps and supporting students who are creating education apps have begun "The App Evaluation Program for Schools" which allows teachers to test educational apps for kids for free. "The apps, which cover everything from math, spelling, and reading to language learning, storyboard building, and puzzles, are provided by developers around the world and sent to teachers two or three times per month. Teachers receive a questionnaire after testing the app as a way to help developers improve, but Larsson stresses they are not required to fill it out."

    Seems like a nice way for teachers to get new iPad educational apps free to evaluate and then use if they find them valuable

  • This is seen by many as a battle for the soul of the digital frontier.
  • Since the dawn of the commercial Web, technology has eclipsed content.
  • this is a battle that seemed fought and won — not just toppling newspapers and music labels but also AOL and Prodigy and anyone who built a business on the idea that a curated experience would beat out the flexibility and freedom of the Web.
  • Chaos isn’t a business model. A new breed of media moguls is bringing order — and profits — to the digital world.
  • the top 10 Web sites accounted for 31 percent of US pageviews in 2001, 40 percent in 2006, and about 75 percent in 2010.
  • Within five years, Morgan Stanley projects, the number of users accessing the Net from mobile devices will surpass the number who access it from PCs.
  • For the sake of the optimized experience on mobile devices, users forgo the general-purpose browser.
  • But eventually our tolerance for the delirious chaos of infinite competition finds its limits.
  • Much as we love freedom and choice, we also love things that just work, reliably and seamlessly.
  • about 35 percent of all our media time is now spent on the Web
  • The dark side of network effects is that rich nodes get richer. Metcalfe’s law,
