From an instructor’s perspective, Twitter offers the ability to prompt students throughout the learning process by asking them to reflect on learning strategies and time management, which ultimately raises metacognitive awareness.

Interview with Dr Ashley on Web 2.0 technology and its relevance to teaching - 0 views
-
My instructor from Penn State U shared his thought on the podcast. "I was very intrigued by his reference to Alan Kay when he talked about how the tools shape us via our interactions with them. Kay was (and is) most definitely one of the most visionary and original thinkers when it comes to technology and its applications. To be sure, this point about how the tools shape us is a very good one to emphasize. Tools are not innocuous things and metacognitive awareness can help both teachers and learners think about how their perceptions of ideas, concepts, etc are influenced by the tools they use to express their understandings of these things that they encounter."

IOS5, THE FIRST TRUE WEB APP READY PLATFORM - 0 views

This is why i said ios5 is FIRST TRUE WEB APP READY PLATFORM!!! It quite a technical article but you want the pie of the story... Finally. Apple has been holding back its support for HTML5,even with Nitro engine on ios4.2 and making it very hard to develop HTML5 "MOBILE" webapp. IOS5 is able to support html5 libraries(most) and degrade gracefully to choose the best performance for the application. DollarDash runs so smoothly over mobile devices now and save me the hassle of writing illegal hacks for mobile devices. Pftt! Keeping up with technology definitely pays off!

How Much Would An iPad Lab Cost Your School? | Edudemic - 0 views
-
The biggest obstacle to bringing the latest technology into the classroom is always cost. We always state this and generically nod our heads. However, how much exactly does it cost to, say, create an entire iPad lab? Lucky for you, one school system already did the math. Palm Beach County schools created a document outlining the cost and recommended cases for each iPad here. It is also embedded below and definitely wroth checking out. While each school has a different set of needs, this is a good jumping-off point to start thinking about real costs.
