iPads for Elementary - 1 views

  •  
    This video features a elementary math teacher who uses math apps on the iPad to collaborate with parents in regards to new math textbook adoption. Great idea for collaborating and connecting with parents. This video also shows a child who is autistic benefiting from the iPad. I do not recommend this video for sharing because it starts out with a Pantene commercial and then continues to be blurry. However, the idea of using the iPad and apps to connect and communicate with parents a new math curriculum is an innovative use of this technology.

Mobile Devices in the Classroom - 2 views

  •  
    This is a good example of a school which formerly banned mobile devices utilizing smartphones in a pilot program in 5th grade math/science classroom. Lessons otherwise traditionally done in paper and pencil were carried out integrating the mobile devices. Looking to start your own pilot program? This school got new cell phones from HTC, a cell phone manufacturer and free connectivity from Verizon. SIG1 context: teacher discusses benefits, exploration, mobility, connection, cross-curricular

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.

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.

Flipped Class Data - 0 views

    This is a great testimonial from an AP calculus teacher on the changes she saw in her class the year she flipped her classroom. Most notably, she was able to interact with students more, the feel of the class was calmer, and she witnessed independent learning. Great encouragement for anyone thinking about trying out this model. Sig 1 Context: flipped
