Laptop Carts vs. One to One (1:1) - 12 views
I think it can be done. I know I had an empty cart sitting in the server closet at 89. I think it would be better than letting them sit around doing nothing.

Virginia using iPads to teach social studies | Business News | eSchoolNews.com - 6 views

Pearson loaded the social studies content on apps - this is crucial that content is available and students don't have to search too much.

How many of our textbooks are able to be loaded on the ipad. Could this be a means of providing an ipad for every student with textbook costs?

Suggestions to use active votes for more than low level multiple choice. Also read part 2: http://teacherleaders.typepad.com/the_tempered_radical/2009/11/part-2-using-student-responders-responsibly.html Of course, right now I'm focused on getting them registered and getting faculty trained in their use, so at this point I'm happy with any use. However in the near future I plan to squeeze as much as I can out of them!

Great article !!! The best use of the clickers would be a combination of both 'low level' and higher order multiple choice questions. Always good to learn something new. Thanks .

Apple and mistake in the same sentence...wow.

Wow is right. I read the article. Apple sets itself apart from the field by being innovative. The iPhone is as popular as ever, and yet they use a boiler plate approach to "controlling" the Apps store content.

The Site for Books & Readers - Shelfari - 4 views
-
A powerful tool for students. Shelfari integrates reading and social networking. Readers list books they have read, are reading, or want to read "my wish list" - can you say reading logs? The members home page can be configured to look like virtual book shelves. Members can read and post reviews; join groups and communities. In my opinion the ultimate use for shelfari would be creating book clubs, making it a quick comprehension tool.
-
I am glad this site was useful to you.When I found this site, I thought it was such a great alternative to the standard book report that I dreaded as a child. I will be meeting with some teachers to see if this meets their needs in terms of reading logs. I hope so. This is the direction we should be heading. On line reading logs. Yes !!!!
