  • Chinese faculty actually laughed when they found out the U.S. education trends were in "standardized curriculum, rote memorization, and nationalized testing."
  • The creative jobs that drive innovation are now the highest 'value added' jobs in the world—the real creators of wealth. If states are going to stay competitive, they have to ... develop a workforce capable of doing creative work."
  • Ideal job candidates at these companies must now show they can "think with their hands" by having expertise or a second major in a musical instrument, auto repair, or sculpture

  • The truth is that our biggest innovations come from the combination of art and science, and there are many who agree.

    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.

    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.

    This is an interesting article about innovative and future technology which will provide teachers with interactive study guides and pop quizzes while on field trips. The potential is for reduced behavior problems. A potential problem is the cost of 3G iPads which are necessary for technology. A solution may exist with the collaboration of Square Crumbs and JoliCloud. This is a good example of collaboration between companies which will benefit education. This will be something to watch for in the future. SIG 1Context: Collaboration, mobility, field trips, student engagement

byod divide

shared by Jon Lind on 15 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • When most of us consider education, we think of learning happening in isolated places — schools. But mobile devices are upending that assumption. With innovations like augmented reality, different kinds of information and experiences can be superimposed onto the real world, complementing and adding another dimension to “formal” learning institutions.
  • There is a dark side of the digital divide without broadband. Everyone assumes that people can access high powered sites. The FCC is busy working to create broadband for all but the realization of this will probably be a long time in coming. The sad part of this is the lack of classroom access in some parts of the US. We are told the new E-rate will help to solve this, but it is a BIG problem. Sometimes the people who need access most are out of sight , out of mind.

    This post is really weirdly written, kind of fractured. Has a great deal of good quotes and good questions about byod, the broadband side of the digital divide, and links to some good edutopia resources. Sig 1 context: byod, divide

    This article address app and mobile device management in the classroom. One example, is the new innovation of allowing the teacher management control over a students mobile device from his/her computer. Another discussion, is about the collaboration which could take place between educators and developers in regards to what constitutes a "good app." This is valuable because the next step may be the development of apps that align to standards. This is a process and concern educators should be interesting in following or even participating in. SIG1Context: inventing, collaboration, apps, SIG 1 Context: mobile devices, management, apps
