This slideshow presents different ways augmented reality can benefit student learning. It further outlines why we should be using augmented reality in education to connect, engage, provide authentic learning experiences, and address multiple intelligences. This is valuable as a convincing argument of how and why we should be using augmented reality in education.

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

The iPad is a great tool for students to create and publish their own books. There are now a number of Apps that can be used on the iPad to create your own iBook or eBook App.

This entire blog addresses the issue of creativity in schools, and in addition, the three most recent posts are about using iPads and mobile phones. These three examples include: VoiceThread for iPad, Embedding Flash with an iPad, and Making videos on a mobile phone.

This ScoopIt collection features articles about iPads and Tablets in Education, created by Sam Gliksman.  The various articles can apply to all of us (and some of them we've already bookmarked).  There are two articles that woudl work for logistics: Teacher Training Should Start Before iPad Deployment and "How to set up iPads for school rollout."  There is also a list of the Best Word Processors which relates to creation.  There are several more interesting articles so check it out! 

This is an excellent 3 minute video that shows HOW augmented reality engages students through MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCE addressing pedagogy. This is valuable as a visual aide to the different ways augmented reality can be used across the curriculum.

This is a slideshare by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The research paper outlines 13 ways to use iPads in your teaching. This is interesting and valuable to learn that the iPad revolution is not just being piloted in our own country but globally. SIG1Context: mobile devices, iPad, global, connection, differentiated,

This article describes the use of iPads in the elementary school to increase student engagement. Teacher discusses the pilot program which was started in an LD classroom and then expanded. She warns that you have to do your "homework" and analyze apps prior to handing an iPad to a student. SIG 1 context: mobile devices, apps, iPad, pilot programs,

A blog that reviews apps and more importantly gives ideas for actual integration and implementation. On the right side bar, notice that you can search for blog posts based on Bloom's Taxonomy, device type, and subject. We can particularly use the Create, Apply, and Analyze sections of Bloom's for the "creation" and "exploration" pieces of our presentation.

This Live Binder includes a TON of resources for iPod touches and iPads. At the top, there are green tabs which are further broken down into grey tabs just below. The "Instruction" tab provides good information for pedagogy and rationale and the "General Information" tab is broken down into other categories that will help us in our project: BYOD strategies and Lesson Plans, for example.

This site gives an overview of a pilot program for fifth graders using mobile devices in math. An improvement in test scores was noted.

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.

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.
