Educators Evaluate Learning Benefits of iPad - 2 views

  •  
    This article addresses the piloting of iPads and questions whether they are valuable beyond student engagement and motivation. The article further questions whether the iPad is best as a 1:1 technology or part of a stable of classroom tools. Teachers "frustrated at first" but are finding innovative ways to integrate the iPad into the curriculum. Straightforward information for schools looking at implementing a pilot program.

Rethinking Field Trips - 2 views

  •  
    This article does a good job of showing how a teacher with limited resources: one iPad and one adult ticket to the museum exhibit brings an interactive experience to her whole classroom. This is a good example of the "power of one." In other words, the ability of one iPad to connect a whole classroom to learning experiences outside the classroom.

Can mobile devices transform education? - 1 views

  •  
    This article describes a Buffalo Hunt simulation using mobile devices with elementary students to meet state standards along with other examples. While research at this point is only antecdotal for most mobile device implementation, this article shows a 10% and 20% increase in math test scores in a N. Carolina school. This information is valuable as we evaluate the effects of mobile devices on learning. Further research needs to be done to assess whether this increase in math scores is due to content access provided by mobile devices or increased collaboration and connection with the classroom teacher.

Does BYOD Solve or Worsen K-12 Tech Woes? - 0 views

  •  
    This article first summarizes an argument by Gary Stager that byod is a bad idea because it makes teachers tailor instruction to the weakest device, highlights socioeconomic disparities in students, and "contributes to the growing narrative that education is not worthy of investment." The author goes on to acknowledge the problems Stager brings up, while describing the benefits of byod: driving schools to cloud computing rather than native apps, student ownershp of work and initiative to figure out solutions, etc. Thoughtful article that provides maybe raises more questions than it answers.

It is connected to our review of apps for exploration, creation, and augmented reality in the classroomm. This is a nice example of a ZooBurst book for anyone who is unfamiliar with this storytelling tool. Dawn LeComte: exploration, augmented reality, cross curricular, connection

A Case for the Flipped Classroom | Elevated Math - 2 views

  • If Bennett’s assertion is true, that what matters are “the relationships, the discussions, and the experiences,” then the flipped classroom provides an effective use of classroom time to build relationships, engage in serious discussions, and provide meaningful experiences for all learners. And let’s not forget one more advantage. The flipped classroom allows more time for student interaction with the teacher. The disadvantage comes when a student does not have access to the technology — an iPad or the Internet to watch instructional apps or videos.  But we predict the flipped classroom will prove its effectiveness with better test scores and enthusiastic learners.  Then schools will be compelled to find ways to give all kids this advantage.

    This article includes a nice list of the top ten reasons to try flipping a math classroom, then goes on to discuss these reasons in detail. It also briefly touches on digital divide questions in the last paragraph. This article really helped me imagine what a flipped classroom would look, or feel, like.
