    This is a teacher blog about the pro's and con's of iPads and other mobile devices for the classroom. I think this is a great article because it is from an educator in the trenches experience with the iPad. This is valuable to our SIG because it focuses on apps as a solution to any limitation of the iPad. SIG1Context: Rachel and I may want to look at this as introduction to apps in general.

    This web page provides a video tutorial for implementing augmented reality in math education to promote an engaging, relevant, and low cost solution to content. It also points to low test scores in geometry which might be improved upon through Google Sketchup. This is valuable as a means to address student needs for exploration in all areas specifically Geometry. SIG1Context: augmented reality, connection, cross curricular,

    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.

  • 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 article discusses the creativity crisis in terms of STEM schools failing in this area.  I have highlighted some interesting quotes that will support our argument that creativity is necessary if students are going to be globally competitive.

flipped differentiated divide

shared by Jon Lind on 17 Nov 11 - No Cached
  • 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.
