    This is probably more of a district issue, but I am sure there are students here that it applies to and they are not going to be quick to point it out

    I can actually see how we might do this with students' mobile devices. Guilt relief here too :)

    Personally I have had no luck with QR codes, my understanding it that they do not work with iPhone 3G. You need 3GS or later. That being said I think there is some potential here, especially in terms of getting students quickly to sites when you are using some kind of presentation. I think it could also be a tool to teach to kids and get them to use in projects and assignments especially if we start veering away from the traditional type of assignments.

    are you serious? Steve Jobs has also banned QR codes?? i haven't used QR codes in my class, but i do like how i can scan one and avoid typing in a url. i mostly find myself scanning QR codes for apps to download. on a related note, google has discontinued QR codes in for google Places... a thing i saw in the states (noticed it in Portland, OR) where businesses would have a sticker in their window. it seemed a bit like yelp.

    didn't listen to the TED talk so maybe as a group? Liked the idea of flipping the classroom a lot and trying to figure out how to use wireless for generating questions. We should talk about that, it is primarily a question of getting the right app (I think). I also like the text book node thing but I don't totally get it.

    i listened to the TED talk a while back. apparently this idea of flipping classrooms is more of a north american idea. yeah, i didn't totally get the textbook node thing either... sounds like a gigantic mind map that everyone just shares??

    I haven't listened to the whole interview yet but this seems intriguing the downside is that it is targeted to at risk students so it is the opposite end of the spectrum for many of us. In addition I have relieved some of my guilt since now at least I have posted something.

    Lots of little tips on how to use google apps in school settings. i didn't know there was a flashcard gadget on google-spreadsheets. and their ideas on different ways to use Forms would be great once there's enough access to laptops/devices.

      Do laptop screens inhibit discussion and interaction??? Does it make a difference having something flat on the desk?
  • but decided against issuing laptops to every student. Mr. Reisinger felt the screens worked against a “good and healthy discussion,” and the time to boot up would take away from class time.

  • Students cannot, for instance, download movies or visit social networking sites. School tools can also help: A wireless tracking signal once let staff find a “missing” laptop that was simply buried in the student’s own backpack, said seventh-grade Latin teacher Aaron L. Fuller.
